1. Maid of the Mist
I had always heard people raving about Niagara Falls and the boat ride, and I always thought, psh, probably one of those overrated tourist things. And perhaps it is, in that I'm sure there are spectacular falls in many parts of the world that fail…More »
2. Antelope Island State Park
Syracuse, UT 84075
(801) 652-2043
Categories:
Parks,
Public Services & Government
I passed through Antelope Island in the course of a road trip, and found it to be a lovely, serene spot to chill and take in some gorgeous views. There is a certain stillness to it that I haven't experienced anywhere else. Well, the parts of it…More »
3. Lake Chalet Seafood Bar & Grill
Oakland, CA 94612
(510) 208-5253
Categories:
Seafood,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Lake Merritt
I LOVE MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I just went to Taco Tuesday yesterday for the first time, and it already rocks my world. I'll be getting drunk off half-price margaritas and scarfing down three $2.50 fish tacos (you need at least that many; they're tiny)…More »
4. King's Sport & Tackle
I'm hardly the outdoor adventures type, but I've now had two Russian River kayaking/canoeing adventures with the help of King's, and I've loved every moment of them. They're friendly, affordable, and give you everything that you need.
I had a group…More »
5. Stern Grove Festival
San Francisco, CA 94132
(415) 252-6252
Category:
Performing Arts
Neighbourhood: West Portal
The Stern Grove Festival consists of free, meadow-enshrouded concerts on Sundays at 2pm throughout most of the summer. The park is large, lush, and beautiful, and the performers I've seen here have included Delhi 2 Dublin, Kailash Kher, and, today,…More »

Categories:
Performing Arts,
Community Service/Non-Profit
Located just on the other side of the Caldecott Tunnel, CalShakes is a beautiful place to submerge yourself in nature and creativity. Grab yourself a blanket and enjoy a fun Shakespeare performance in the outdoor amphitheater with the hills as a…More »
7. Sea Ranch Getaway Rentals
12 of us stayed in a huge house in Sea Ranch, and what a fabulous time we had! The location is gorgeous, following a long, windy, and foggy drive up Highway 1.
You can find houses of varying sizes near the hills, meadows, or on the ocean. I had…More »
8. Moonlight Mesa Retreats
If you're going to vacation in Joshua Tree, I say take your pick: either rough it up and camp, or spoil yourself lavish. My friends and I are divas, and we opted for the latter.
There is a two-night minimum stay on the weekends, all for the better.…More »
9. Año Nuevo State Park
I am normally not an outdoorsy person, but I loved taking the guided tour at the Ano Nuevo State Reserve and watching elephant seals mate. This informative, sandy tour is available between December and March, and the trudge is a pretty easy one.…More »
10. Pier 23 Cafe
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 362-5125
A perfectly cute place to have a relaxing lunch and a pitcher of sangria while sitting on the patio and overlooking the water.
The hot garlic prawns and the roasted garlic with cheese and toast were AWESOME, but the crab cakes were not that…More »
11. Morcom Municipal Rose Garden
Oakland, CA 94610
(510) 238-3187
Categories:
Parks,
Venues & Event Spaces,
Botanical Gardens
Neighbourhood: Grand Lake
Several times, I have told people that I live right by the Oakland Rose Garden, and they have responded, "Oakland has a rose garden?" Yes! And it is breathtaking, and practically empty most of the time for some inconceivable reason. But that works…More »
