Jamal and I still drool when we think about the brunch we had here. Don't forget to add the biscuits + jam!
La Bicyclette Restaurant
Phenomenal pizza and wine! Feels like a little slice of Europe in CA. Make sure to make a reservation ahead of time!
Monterey
Monterey is home to many California firsts, including the first state capital, the first brick house, the first public library and the first printing press, which printed The California, California’s first newspaper. Monterey is known for its coastal beauty, as well as top attractions like the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row and Old Fisherman’s Wharf.
Old Fisherman's Wharf
A visit to Monterey isn't complete without making a stop at the Wharf! Get a cup of clam chowder and watch the seals as they sunbathe on the rocks.
