Lonely Planet review for Hillcrest

Just up from the northwestern corner of Balboa Park, you hit Hillcrest, the heart of Uptown (buses 1, 3 and 25 go to/from downtown along 4th and 5th Aves). The neighborhood began its life in the early 20th century as a modest middle-class suburb. Today, it's San Diego's most bohemian district. University and 5th Aves are lined with coffeehouses, thrift shops and excellent restaurants in all price ranges.

The Hillcrest Gateway, a neon sign that arches over University Ave at 5th Ave, marks the center of the action.
