1. Zachary's Restaurant
Santa Cruz, CA 95060

American (Traditional),
Breakfast & Brunch
No lie, I decided to go to UCSC after having a Mike's Mess. You think I'm joking? I'm not. It's quite sad really. The funny thing is, I never once regretted my decision. The univeristy was pretty great too.
I'm a veggie, so if you too want to…More »
2. Saturn Cafe
I crave a Tun-o melt every day of my horrible LA life. I can't believe I lived in Santa Cruz for two years and they only started offering it six months before I left.
Even before the advent of the Tuno melt, I never had a bad meal here. From the…More »
3. Del Mar Theatre
Midnight Movies got me through UCSC. Even though I went there straight for two years I never won the freak'n raffle. Regardless of getting loot, I really could not imagine my college experience without those glorious late nights.
The brownies were…More »
4. The Perfumer's Apprentice
Like many others who come here, my friend and I were intrigued by the small sign on Pacific. Make our own perfumes? Fun. We both decided to have a dress-up day (why should 5-year-olds have all the fun) and check it out.
We went up the stairs and…More »
5. Bead It
Albeit a bit small for the hoards of people who storm it every weekend, Bead It is a delightful place to spend a crafty hour. I have more than once stepped in for a quick look and left an hour later with an awesome new necklace. The people there are…More »
6. Pacific Cookie Company
Most blocks of Downtown Santa Cruz have the distinct smell of marijuana, urine and sewage. The exception to the rule comes between Walnut and Lincoln. Here the aroma that surrounds you is what you always with your grandma's kitchen smelled like but…More »
7. Cafe Brasil
This is such an amazingly amazing place. Four stars because of parking and the wait. Don't go here if you want to eat within the hour, it's not going to happen.
The juices are magical. The one with mint is frothy and refreshing.
The stuff on the…More »
8. Santa Cruz Diner
Is this my favorite place to eat in Santa Cruz? No. Of course not. Is it still an ok plus where you can get cheap eats any time of the day? Yes. Of course.
When I lived there, one of my friends and I had a ritual. After a show in San Francisco we…More »
9. Capitola Mall
If ever you have a day where you're just too happy, too full of life, go to the Capitola Mall and you'll be brought down to earth. If you're just having an ok day, keep the razorblades away and cuffs over your wrists.
The only logical explanation for…More »

Whistler Eats (42)So much good food in this small mountain town. Some not-too-good eats, too. |
Lunchtime in WLA (3)I'm lazy. I hardly ever bring lunch. I also see lunch as the time to escape. So boom: lunchtime excursions. |
Places I Used to Work (2)So this goes into questionable Yelp territory, but I think I've still managed to stay impartial. |
Let Me Entertain You: LA Edition (31)Okay, I won't entertain you, but you will be entertained. |
Los Angatbles (12)Didn't your mommy ever tell you to eat your veggies? My mommy did. I took her at her word. Maybe a little too much.These are the vegetarian spots that have taken my heart. |
Oh the Places We'll Go (13)The best road trip of my life was through Brtish Columbia, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alberta and back to BC to catch a cruise to Alaska. Here are a couple stops along the road. |
Shop Whistler (10)On those days you just can't force yourself to get on the mountain.... |
Heating Up Whistler (20)The clubs and bars of Whistler |
Do(go)nuts (7)I don't trust people who don't like donuts. |
Drinking Time (8)Portland is famous for it's booze. The only fair thing is for me to try to see if it lives up to the hype. Right? |
