"Weave through the Lobby Bar at the Lafayette Hotel in North Park to find one of the few 24-hour diners in San Diego. Modeled to look like a nostalgic New York-style restaurant, Beginner’s Diner serves a menu of generous portions of eggs, potatoes, and Reuben sandwiches at the counter or at comfy booths. Fancier alternatives include banana bread French toast, a bacon avocado Benedict, and cinnamon rolls baked every day, all available to pair with a boozy milkshake. Breakfast starts at midnight and is served until 1 p.m. every day, including on New Year’s Day." - Helen I. Hwang, Candice Woo
