Things To Do
Santa Barbara Zoo
This is Sanjana's favorite thing to do because of the giraffes. From Sanjana: Growing up, my parents would bring Smayana and I here all the time and it is where I fell in love with my favorite animals- giraffes. They had the most beautiful crooked neck giraffe and I would just be in awe of how calm and graceful they were.
McConnell's Fine Ice Creams
This is our favorite sweet treat that we look forward to getting at least 1-2 times a month. Our favorite date night is sunset + sushi back in Pacific Palisades and we would ALWAYS end the night with scoops from McConnell's! Sanjana's favorite: Santa Barbara Strawberry & Double Peanut Butter Chip- TRUST ME, it just works! Arvind's favorite: Santa Barbara Strawberry & Sea Salt Cream & Cookies
Mony's Mexican Food
Truly some of the best and fast Mexican food. We love their tacos and order at least a couple each and some chips and rice to go with them!
Finney's Crafthouse - Santa Barbara
We love any reason to go to Finney's! We love their happy hour with friends but we really come for the buffalo cauliflower and end up ordering more because everything is good here!
