Park Place Liquor & Deli celebrates 20 years with community party

Park Place Liquor & Deli is marking 20 years in Coronado with a free Customer Appreciation Party on Friday, Aug. 21, from 2 to 5 p.m. at its store at 1000 Park Place.

The anniversary celebration will include live music, complimentary food and drinks, children’s activities, face painting, giveaways, and prizes. Guests can also take advantage of a 20% discount on all sandwiches throughout the day.

Owner Naell Soro said the event is intended as a thank-you to the community that has supported the neighborhood business since it opened in 2006.


By The Sea opens on Orange Avenue

Mediterranean-inspired restaurant By The Sea officially opened this week on the second floor of 1300 Orange Ave. The new restaurant is the latest venture from husband-and-wife team Lara and Doug Hamm and is open Wednesday through Monday for dinner service.

Drawing inspiration from the French Riviera, Greek Isles, and Italy’s Amalfi Coast, the 6,500-square-foot restaurant offers a menu centered on Mediterranean cuisine and locally sourced ingredients from San Diego farmers and fishermen. Menu highlights include seafood dishes, house-made pastas, grilled entrées, shareable plates, and an extensive wine and cocktail program.

Designed to evoke the feel of a coastal villa, By The Sea features indoor and outdoor dining spaces that can accommodate 245 guests. Hours are 4 to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday (closed on Tuesdays) and 4 p.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday. A full preview of the restaurant will appear soon in The Coronado Times.

Marilyn Monroe: The Defining Roles has been extended through August 30 at the Hotel del Coronado, giving visitors a few more weeks to experience the special exhibition celebrating the Hollywood icon’s enduring legacy and her connection to The Del through the filming of Some Like It Hot.
