Book Broker occupies the ground floor corner of this classic 20's building. Neat & well-stocked with reasonably-priced books.  Knowledgeable owners. Many rare and collectible books here and book search services.
Lestat's Coffee Shop offers living room comfort with special blend coffees and yummy munchies. Open 24 hours, with out-of-the-ordinary live entertainment nightly.

Quicksilver Antiques features quality furniture items and paintings. The owner also is adept at stained glass and Fen Shui. Located right across from the Antique Row Café, you can browse for tables while waiting for table for lunch.
Antique Row Café is the only place in Normal Heights you will want to go for breakfast. These people do magic with eggs, potatoes and sausage. Check the daily omelet specials. Lunch and dinner served depending on the day and time of year.

Antique Cottage pours out on to the sidewalk with antique furniture. Inside, find more, along with art, lamps and silver.  		Zac's Attic Antiques
Zac's Attic Antiques merchandise is largely  the result of estates that they have liquidated, creating a diverse inventory that at any given time may include glass, china, silver, art, state auto license plates, furniture and textiles.

Rosie O'Gradys bar (and sometimes grill) the original Normal Heights Irish pub, becomes even more Irish each day closer to St. Patrick's Day. Not only a great neighborhood hangout, but with the many new faces that come and go, newcomers don't draw attention. Live music weekends.
The Ould Sod is Irish, Irish, Irish! The accents are as thick as the heads on the Guinness served here. Known to all the Irish in San Diego, The Ould Sod will make anyone Irish after just one visit. St. Patrick's Day is standing room only (as well it should be)

Joyti-Bihanga turns vegetarian and vegan dining into an art form. Run by the devotees of Sri Chinmoy, you will find a peaceful and meditative atmosphere along with memorable food. Their "neatloaf" with mushroom gravy is no joke. Some Sundays offer all-you-can-eat brunch.
Phoenicia Cuisine & Bakery is Normal Heights' answer to "What good tasting things should we wrap up in grape leaves today?" A few tables and a friendly lunch counter will give you a seat to the Middle East. Bring a liking for lamb, kabobs of all kinds, pilaf and humus. Breads & Baklava baked here daily.

Folk Arts Rare Records is presided over by none other than Lou Curtiss. Lou is the "Mr. San Diego" of folk and country music and history. Thousands upon thousands of vinyl and 78 records are everywhere! An extensive tape library is second only to the Library of Congress.
Revivals Antiques has undergone any number of changes over the years, all for the better. Today you can find furniture, dishes, clothes and some architectural salvage. Be sure to visit the "Oriental" room and the "Retro-50's" room.
