Delicious, creative takes on traditional Italian cuisine. Gets our vote for the best food in town (unless we happen to be cooking ;-) ). For two hungry people, order a pizza, a main course, and an appetizer.

Authentic Thai food, right down to the spice level. Generous portions. Exercise caution -- "medium" spiciness will make most people sweat. If you order "spicy", have milk ready.

Good beer and great bar food (or great beer and good bar food, depending on which of us you ask). Hipster-ier than its nearby competitor (Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing), come here if you want to mingle with the UCSC crowd and drink hazy brews.

Sightseeing

Run or walk this 2.5 mile (5 miles round-trip) stretch of stunning California coast. Or just amble down to John and West Cliff, grab a bench, and enjoy the view. The beach faces south, so sunsets are stunning in the winter and early spring.

A miniature, affordable version of the more ostentatious (and expensive) Monterey Bay Aquarium. Great for the kiddos -- pet a swell shark, feel a sea otter pelt, explore the touch pool, see giant whale skeletons, take a walk along a gorgeous, peaceful slice of coast.
