Parks & Nature

Worth the visit for a relaxing stroll. This is a free city park, that was formerly the ranch home of Leo Carrillo. There are a number of historic adobe buildings and old ranch structures. But the best... dozens of peacocks wandering the grounds. Grab some subs from Jersey Mike's and you're set for a nice picnic.

Drinks & Nightlife

World-class beer. Great food done well. Try Belgian Street Frites....yummy. They have an outside roof-top dining area, which we prefer over the noisier downstairs area.
