I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to many great evenings out this summer. Thankfully our Summer Nights issue is here to help! When it comes to nightlife, San Diego has some great options. This June we sent Megan Vaughn downtown to check out our local nightclub scene, while food critic Alex McNair found San Diego’s hottest underground wine bar as well as a dive-in-theater on Wednesdays in Point Loma. Mid-week pool party for drinks, food and a flick anyone? To compliment your summer nightlife outings, take advantage of the killer evening weather by checking out some summer concerts. Whether it’s Maroon 5 or Slightly Stoopid, there are some spectacular shows this month that you will want to attend. In addition to dozens of ideas for evening outings that you just can’t resist, we want to make sure you look as well as feel your best this summer. With this month’s fashion department dedicated exclusively to summer evening attire, you’ll be thoroughly prepared to awe your friends, look attractive and most importantly, feel great about yourself. For the single women out there, summer evenings often become the perfect opportunity for romance. Something about the heat brings out passion, and since you will be out-and-about you are bound to meet more people. For those of you in a new relationship, as well as those who are happily taken, our dating columnist Jillian Marie Dyer divulges six tips you can apply to keep that candle burning. Regardless of your relationship status, I hope you all look forward to several memorable nights this summer. I know I am!
