Excellent place to dine in or out. Breakfast is to die for. Get there early as they don't take reservations and there is a wait.

A very easy walk from my house. The museum, located on NMC campus, has a rotating collection of art and sculpture, one of the largest Alaskan Inuit displays and even a childrens area. Don't forget to check out their gift shop.

This transformed historic train weigh station that was once occupied by a cherry warehouse in the 1800’s, is now home to the Parlor. Crafted cocktails with a prohibition era feel. You most likely will find music on Friday and Saturday night. The food is good, too!

This place is full of history. Formerly a state psychiactric hospital, it has been restored into a bustling retail, office and condo space. Tours are available, which includes the tunnels! There are three great restaurant; Trattoria Stella, Pepeneros and Red Spire. Also located in and around Building 50 is Cuppa Joe, Pleasanton Bakery, Earthen Ales, Left Food Charlies Winery, Higher Grounds coffee roasting and Spanglish, just to name a few. Best of all is the 100 acres of hiking behind the buildings. Visit the Hippie Tree and climb up to the highest hill for a stunning view of East and West Bays. Hard to believe we have this available right in the neighborhood!
