Food Scene

Good happy hour if you can get a seat at the small bar. Good farm to table, seasonal menu.

Good selection of deli fare. Really good sandwiches and cheap too. The bomb thing to get is the fresh baked Focaccia bread only available on Saturdays. I'm not ashamed to say that I'd eat one by myself if I didn't have to share it. Plus, don't forget to try their pastries. Lines can get long at lunchtime and it's take away only.

Really fancy espresso machine so their coffee is good but pricey. It's close enough to walk to which is why I go there.

Decent Mexican food but we go for their Cadillac Margaritas! Dangerous so don't overdo it! You've been warned.

Really good pho and bun, and they have Vietnamese crepes! Can't find that in many Vietnamese places around here. They also have vegetarian pho offerings.

Good pho but not as good as Pho Cafe's. The plus is that they're closer and they have really good banh mi sandwiches (only until 5 p.m.)

Good burgers, but the bun can get a little soggy. The Belgian fries with aioli is a must.

Bring a book, bring a friend, or just commiserate with the rest of the people waiting in the extra long line to get the chicken that you need blue latex gloves to eat! They're that hot! Of course, we haven't ventured into that territory yet and just go up to medium hot.

Great selection of cheeses and charcuterie. The baguettes and sandwiches are delicious!

Parks & Nature

Really nice hike. Has more shade than some other trails out there. There's a small creek to cross and these quaint, small houses along the way. The bonus is the small waterfall at the end (when we're not in a drought). There's also a cafe above the parking lot that has good burgers. Maybe they're only really good because we're famished after the hike.

Arts & Culture

They've got a great jazz night and Latin night with free music. Bring a chair or blanket then buy yourself a glass of wine and just enjoy.
