Great Food near Old Town Plaza
So many of our customers always ask us: "Where can I get something good to eat around here? Are there only Mexican food places in Old Town?"
The answer is no. There are so many good food options within five minutes of our building that it is really amazing.
Let's start with the office classic - the local deli. The Old Town Deli has been here longer than our Old Town Plaza office building itself. My personal favorite there is the San Diego Chicken. Simply put, this sandwich is a modern marvel of wonderful taste. Grilled chicken, melted Swiss and crisp bacon all on toasted Sourdough make this a real lunch time treat. Check out the Old Town Deli here:

If you want a more sit-down type of lunch with an amazing menu and fantastic outdoor terrace dining, pop into 25 Forty Bistro and Bakehouse. I think the Beef Carved Sandwich is great, but my personal favorite is to try the Lunch Special of the Day. Last time, I had a killer chicken pasta dish that was to die for.

If you are at our building and still are craving some good old Mexican Food, then look no farther than Nico's Taco Shop. WOW. I'm going to keep this one short and sweet: go there now and get either the Carne Asada Burrito or the Pollo Asada Burrito. You won't be disappointed. Period. This is the best taco shop in all of San Diego (and I'm a native, I would know), bar none. It was recommended to me by my good friend Daniel Rodriguez of Select Law Group.

Culture of Conservation
While our office is somewhat obsessed with reducing waste at every level, paper expenses and water delivery service are two points of consumption easily reduced by any organization.
Using single space formatting and printing on both sides of the paper have been the standing orders of many businesses for years. A further improvement on this practice is to develop a paper harvesting and reuse system. In our office every piece of paper with a blank side is placed into a printer drawer marked "recycling." This paper is perfect when printing for internal circulation, draft review, or filing. Printing for files can be made even more efficient by printing four pages on one page. While the text might be annoyingly small the filed documents are not routinely reviewed and are often never seen again.
Delivering five gallon bottles of water to an office is exceptionally wasteful. Much of the water is merely filtered municipal tap water branded under the illusion of "purity" with the aide of a label invariably featuring a mountain. This "natural" water is then bottled in plastic and shipped using diesel trucks. This logic sequence is the equivalent of deciding to supply power to a home with delivered batteries rather then tap the existing grid.
The perfect replacement to this antiquated system is a filtered water dispenser attached directly to the existing water lines. Pure Water Technology of San Diego, http://www.purewatertechsandiego.com/, offers a phenomenal system that we recently installed in our office. The quality of the water is better than any bottled water available and we never have to deal with bottles again. This system is also less expensive than conventional water delivery systems, especially for organizations spending over $70.00 per month on bottled water.
These two changes are environmentally responsible and can save a great deal of money. Please feel free to stop by our office for a water taste test or watch us attempt to read our micro-text .
