MET Gala Style

While the Met Gala unfolded in New York, I decided to bring the glamour to San Diego with my best friend. Our evening was a tribute to high fashion and fine dining, set against the vibrant backdrop of Little Italy. Inspired by the Met Gala’s theme, we curated our outfits to reflect the elegance and creativity synonymous with the event. I donned a sleek ensemble with bold accessories, while my friend opted for a classic look with a modern twist. Our attire set the tone for an unforgettable night. Our destination was Kettner Exchange, a standout in San Diego’s dining scene. Located at 2001 Kettner Blvd, this two-story restaurant boasts the city’s only rooftop patio in Little Italy, offering stunning harbor views. The venue’s design, a blend of industrial chic and nautical elements, creates an ambiance that’s both sophisticated and inviting. Under the guidance of Executive Chef Brian Redzikowski, Kettner Exchange offers a menu that fuses global flavors with contemporary American cuisine. We indulged in dishes like the duck meatballs served over cheesy grits and the big eye tuna ribbons with avocado, each bite a testament to culinary artistry.The cocktail program at Kettner Exchange is as impressive as its menu. We savored expertly crafted drinks that complemented our meal perfectly, each one a blend of unique flavors and top-shelf spirits. If you’re looking to celebrate in style, Kettner Exchange offers the perfect setting. With its exceptional cuisine, innovative cocktails, and chic atmosphere, it’s an ideal spot for any special occasion.
