Fantastic local sushi joint. Nothing fancy, but great people and fresh fish. Go for the five piece Edo roll special with a Jumbo roll. You can also order take-out if you feel like dining in :-)

Best tap selection and American cuisine around. Perfect place for a nice dinner or just a few beers. Plenty of seating, but call ahead if you can because they do fill up.

A little something special open on Saturday and Sunday. Located right off the drag between Agz Ragz and the Smoke shop. Get a classic Chicago-dog and chat with Steve and Tammy about why a steamed bun makes all the difference.

Great local pies. Though the interior could probably use a renovation, this joint always delivers on quality. They will also deliver up to the tiny house!

Drinks & Nightlife
They're a restaurant as well, but it's a real gem for a night-cap. This old mountain inn is like nothing you'll find elsewhere. Relax with a cocktail and enjoy the huge wood fireplace.

There are a billion good breweries in Santa Cruz, but this is one of my favorites on the Westside. Be sure to get some tostados as well and enjoy these creamy ocean brews.

Probably the best brew in the area. They also have a tasting room in Santa Cruz. If you're into sour beers, this is a must.

Essentials
(Now Wild Roots). Local, independent organic grocers. Awesome selection for any needs. Be sure to get some Nancy's whole-milk yogurt. It's divine and very hard to find.
New Leaf also brews Verve coffee for $2 a cup. Well worth it if you're looking for a quick cup on your way out of town.

An absolute gem of a beach. Westside Santa Cruz is for the locals, but this beach does bring in the crowds on the weekend. Come for the gorgeous views and the easy tide-pool for the little ones.

Oh my, does it get more local and insider than this? If you've got an edge to you, drop by this local swimming hole to jump off the cliffs and swing from the rope swing. Obviously, no lifeguard on duty!
Don't mind the hobos if they're hanging out as well, we all get along in Boulder Creek :-)

A bigger set of swimming holes than Junction Park. Won't be as local and edgy, and no cliff jumps or rope swing, but Garden of Eden is spacious and beautiful. An easy way to enjoy the day.
