FREE Train Tickets in Southern California


Metrolink, the primary SoCal train system, is offering 4 FREE train tickets for travel in Southern California.  LA County and south are where people can utilize these tickets.  This means if you want to take the train from downtown LA to San Diego, you can.  

We, the deal gurus at Qmania, think that this is a crazy deal.  Here's how it works.
  • Fill out the form you find here
  • Leave the reservation field blank
  • Receive tickets in mail 2 weeks later
  • (you can call them also:  1-800-371-5465)
You have a choice on tickets.  You can get 4 1-way trips or 2 round trip sets.  It's up to you.  

Think about it.  You can take that day trip with your buddies to LA from San Diego.  Or you can finally take that romantic getaway with your girlfriend down the coast.  We don't know of many other train systems that are offering the same sort of deal.  We did write about another train deal that is great for high school students planning on touring colleges.

If you find yourself down in the San Diego County area, go here for the best sandwich you'll ever have in your life.  Trust us when we say that the Carlsbad Board & Brew is the bomb.

Where ever you plan to go, make sure you use a deal and save yourself some cash.  We like this Popeyes Hawaii Deal.

Del Mar Icon: Board & Brew to Open Location in Carlsbad


The sandwich, cerveza and surf institution known as Board & Brew in Del Mar, California is opening a second location in Carlsbad in May.  It's true and you heard it here on Qmania first.  People talk about these sandwiches like they cure cancer.  They may very well get deep into the marrow and heal your soul.  We wouldn't know.  We've never been!  We're almost too ashamed to admit that.

The folks of "North County" (what locals call Northern San Diego County) are in for a treat.  The 2nd Board & Brew is to open in Carlsbad in May of 2009.  We can't imagine how popular this place is going to be.  As popular as Shady Grove in Austin?  As popular as the Wiener Circle in Chicago?  Pink's hotdogs for tourists in LA?  Probably 10 times all of them combined, based on the reviews people are writing about the original location on Yelp.  These people are zealots!  Yikes!  This is what we like to call "cult dining"...with a sun tan.

We feel the peer pressure to take a special trip out there just to try the Turkado sandwich people keep raving about.  But then we'd have to compete with the starving surfers and students at Carlsbad High, MiraCosta College and all of the other schools in the area.

Here's the address:

Board & Brew (Carlsbad)
2675 Gateway Rd
CarlsbadCA 92009
(760) 929-2739

If we have any say in things they'll have a great deal on Qmania!  Stay tuned and well fed.
