Dance Place San Diego
Twenty-six buildings and 28 acres are devoted to arts and culture at the new NTC Promenade, thanks to the NTC Foundation who's spearheading this creative revival. It's rumored that they're out to create a new cultural gem to rival Balboa Park. So far dance companies are really putting their stamp on the converted former Naval Training Center in Point Loma. Classes are held weekly, and check the companies below for performance dates and locations (that's Malashock Dance's picture).

Editors' Choice: High Art Happy Hour
We're all artists at heart. We start with neon finger paints, move on to the subtleties of crayons and eventually abuse every color of magic marker we can find. The grit it takes to create art doesn't always stick, but that doesn't mean we can't appreciate the sleek designs and sublime expressions of others. Several of San Diego's museums, galleries and theaters cater to art lovers with a social bent. Sometimes art goes down better with a cocktail and a room full of wandering eyes.

Get thyself to a live comedy venue and placate thyself, then.

Editors' Choice: Museum stores
The best museum stores understand two things about the average culture lover: 1. You might not be a Rockefeller and 2. You might never endow an artwork or bid on a masterpiece at Christie's, but no one likes going home empty handed. So if you want amazing art on your T-shirts and tchotchkes, or if you're looking for a splashy model ship for that Special Naval Ops someone, you can drop into these stores without even paying the admission fee.
