Stay in the neighborhood
Roger's Hillcrest cigar-bar pick, run by an owner (Raul) he calls the friendliest in town, open later than most local lounges with a strong Belgian beer selection on tap and bottle.
A Hillcrest Chinese restaurant Roger says declined after the pandemic, dropping from a two-star review to one star, after an earlier visit he'd already called just okay and Americanized.
A Hillcrest location of the Nishiki Ramen chain -- a separate address from the site's existing Kearny Mesa entry -- rated a middling three stars by Roger.

Roger rated this Portland Scandinavian breakfast spot 4 stars, calling out the hotdog with shrimp cake, pan-seared greens on the side, smoked trout hash topped with egg, and the donuts -- noting a bit of a wait if you show up at 9am.
