Hillcrest

Heart of the LGBTQ+ Cultural District

Hillcrest is the center of San Diego’s LGBT scene, with buzzing gay bars and the city’s massive annual Pride parade. The neighborhood is lined with restaurants serving global cuisines like Italian, Mexican, French, Indian and Thai, while the mix of cafes, brunch spots and second-hand clothes shops make it a popular weekend destination. The weekly Hillcrest Farmers Market sells produce, flowers and cooked food.
