A nice spot to grab a clean meal of poke over rice with various sauces and some vegetarian options. Most of the bowls will run you about $12-14.

A nice hole-in-the-wall place to grab some sushi. I went to school with the proprietor's daughter, Shiho, who may be behind the counter. VERY friendly people and a nice array of options.

The most authentic bar in Monterey - no pretensions about it. Cozy up next to the fireplace or pick a track on the jukebox. It is DARK inside no matter the hour of day. Definitely a dive but my favorite spot to grab a drink and have a chat. The only downside is there are no beers on tap - everything is in bottles.

Monterey's best British Pub (out of 4!) Traditional English fare and a nice variety of beer on draft. Right next to the Osio movie theater!

One of the most beautiful meetings of land and sea in the world. Most of the trails aren't too technical. Park alongside the highway and walk in if you want to avoid the ~$10 entry fee!

Arts & Culture
Most people don't know that the Monterey Museum of Art has this branch. It has awesome rose and rhododendron gardens. It used to be a private residence but the owners donated it to the local art museum. My wife and I were married here in 2013 and it doesn't get much traffic. You'll probably have the place to yourself!
