With NBC 7 San Diego's Darnay Tripp and Derek Togerson behind the mic, On Friar will cover all things San Diego Padres. Interviews, analysis, behind the scenes...the ups, downs, and everything in between.
There are so many things to love about San Diego: food, craft beer, top chefs, cool hangouts, scenic sights, and free or cheap ways to enjoy our city. In these times of COVID-19, navigating the places and things we love to do in our city has undoubtedly changed. Monica Garske, lead editor of NBC 7's The Scene, and Candice Woo, Eater San Diego's Founding Editor, explore how to do just that.
Get your local news and Coronavirus updates from NBC 7 San Diego every day of the week, including Saturday and Sunday.
