"Mecca for girlfriend gifts"
Oh happy day! San Diego CityBeat has recognized the wonderfulness that is Urban Girl Accessories. I have personally been shouting from the rooftops, my love for this store. The fine people at CityBeat have heard my call! (Or the call of the MANY fans of Urban Girl, whatever. Let me take credit.) Below is an excerpt from the article:
Ahem, Urban Girl Accessories (and ALL stores at Seaport Village) validate parking for 2 hours. So parking fee need not apply here :)
Sooooooo... what are you waiting for? Come down and get your Urban Girl on. Your girlfriends will thank you.

But the mecca for girlfriend gifts is actually in Seaport Village. Tourist trap! you scream. But no—Urban Girl Accessories (867 West Harbor Drive, www.urbangirlaccessories.com) is one of those stores you can enter not knowing what you want, exactly, but still come out with the perfect thing. That’s because it’s full of useless gifts, and I mean that in a most loving and positive way. There are little Japanese dolls that hold secrets, stiletto door-stoppers and anthropomorphic kitchen utensils. Does your friend like to drink? (We all have one or two of those friends.) There are wacky bottle openers, pretty flasks, wine-rating pads and more. Does she like to cook? There are silly salt and pepper shakers, aprons and pretty knives. Who needs a pretty knife? No one, but what gal would want to cut up veg with an ugly one when there’s a bright-green apple-adorned one available? For the Hard Worker there are weird pens and desk accoutrements, and for the Traveler, luggage tags and airplane bingo and blankets made just for plane flights. You can get a gaggle of stuff with a monogram on it, and that always make for a personal touch. Plus, there are purses, scarves, candles and more—all the stuff you’d expect from a gift store, but far funnier, cooler and simply sweeter than you’d expect considering it’s part of a compound locals make great pains to avoid. It’s worth the trek and the parking fee.

2nd best and that ain't bad!
Recently Seaport Village was ranked second in a list of San Diego's top tourist attractions with 4 million visitors a year. We are up there with the likes of SeaWorld, San Diego Zoo, USS Midway Museum and more! How awesome is that?
Our local news station KUSI did a morning piece on us and it is too great not to share. I can't embed the video on my blog so you will have to check it out here.
Buster's Beach House & Longboard Bar, Del Sol, Mr. P (our resident sax player) and this lady are all featured. Check it out!

We love our visitors
The people who visit us here at Seaport Village are the best, they are just the best! Recently I recieved this great email from one of our guests. This email just confirms what a great area Seaport Village is situated in (so much to do around here people!) We are lucky to have such fantastic parnters all around. I also love the fact that she visited us in the evening... so many people
forget. We are open until 10 right now! And she is so kind that I just have to share.

Our trip to San Diego was great, too short of course. We found a new pleasure which was wandering around Seaport Village at night time. I do not like driving at night time so because we have never stayed at Seaport before I have not seen it often at night time as I am nervous about driving on unfamiliar freeways in the dark. (I did do it last Christmas, but it was scary) Anyway our warm relaxing nights will be burned in my memory for ever. Just sitting watching people shopping and also relaxing was so great , Max was the only thing we missed! (oh and the big art gallery I didn't see it) The weather was so nice and warm so the ice-cream coupons were perfect as a night time snack or dessert after a great lunch. As a single Mom , and a school nurse we are not exactly the Hyatt's usual guests, but if I can swing it again I will want to stay in this area. We walked to the Gaslamp Quarter for meals a few times and walked down to the Harbour Cruise and ate inside at Anthony's, so this was a great new area to stay at, although we visited Old Town each day too! And of course had to make our usual trip to Target and Mimi's in Mission Valley :)))). And were happy to celebrate our favorite bridge's 40th birthday by spending a few hours on the beach in Coronado. Thanks for you hospitality, Jenny and Brandon
