The Pizza Place On Nori San Francisco
LOVE this place. Probably one of the only places I know in SF (there are more places in the East Bay) that is both for adults - (sports on tv, beer, pizza) AND for kids (other kids, pizza, tv and parents are happy) - lots of them running around! Great crusty pizza too!

It's insurance, what can I tell you?

Glass Pro Customer Oakland
Good deal, I guess. Didn't look around for other prices though. Just down the street from my work. Friendly staff though it's usually busy (they talk pretty fast!). Make sure you write down the estimate you get online - and double check that with the receipt before you sign anything!

Farmer Joe's Marketplace
A good in-between place. By in-between I mean, in-between safeway and whole foods type place w/ a dash of a farmers market - but not anywhere near the size of the combos of those places. Still, I found items for cheaper at my local Grocery Outlet (don't knock it till you've tried it) - the same exact brands. YES, organic stuff too!

fnoo Do they carry anything that you can't find elsewhere?
riddlefish I love farmer's markets! Such cheap produce! The only thing is, it doesn't stay long, given the lack of artificial preservatives. Sort of a catch-22.
The Fish Hopper
Great place with a view. Not pretentious. Moderately priced and good food and service. They have a kids menu and didnt mind that we had a cranky toddler (granted he just did a face plant onto metal railings at the Aquarium!) If you are looking to get a souvenir that says Monterey - buy their mug. It was only $2.15 with tax!

Mont Bay Aquarium G&b Monterey
If you buy the Monterey Bay Aquarium natural bag - DO NOT PUT IT IN THE DRYER. Unless you like shredded bags, to me it wasnt useful.

Drawbrah Was the aquarium fun at least :D
tinyheat of course!
Monterey Bayaq Internt
Went here when i was a kid and then recently took my kid here. Definitely buy tickets online and save yourself the wait in line. got there 10 mins before they opened. wizzed pass the lines up to will call, got tix and they let us in while the rest had to wait for the ticket sales to open. It does get packed (we went on a saturday) but get a stamp so you can go in and out throughout the day!

Duarte's Tavern
This is my 2nd time here. I honestly don't know what all the hub bub is all about. They were featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Prepare to wait for at least an hour. This place is crazy busy and popular. It was good food but not spectacular for the wait and the price is more than i would expect for a diner type place. Get the green chile soup instead of the artichoke - or get the combo - chile AND artichoke. But most people swear by the artichoke soup. Granted, I didnt have anything else off of their menu but the grilled cheese (yum) and the soup (which I really liked) and they have a pretty large menu. So maybe i havent had the life changing menu item yet.

beverlynoelle Where's this at?
tinyheat It's in Pescadero, CA. http://www.duartestavern.com/ - The area and tavern has a lot of history, which I like.
Quality Inn Monterey
Stayed for the weekend of my birthday. GREAT free breakfast - waffles, biscuits & gravy, bagels, cereals, muffins, coffee, tea and juices. Did I mention it was free?! Stayed in a not so quiet room that faces the main road. Good size had a fridge, king sized bed and a couch. We aren't fancy people so it was perfect. Old school tv (small 20"). Indoor heated pool/jacuzzi shared by another hotel - the Clarion (thats why they had the same exact pool pictures online!) I'd go here again. The price was decent.

Great market with local and organic choices similar and sometimes cheaper than the farmer's markets.

I heart Ross. Don't knock it till you try it, my friends. seriously. I will never shop department stores ever again. Unless I get a gift card.

Comcast
I really want to cancel my subscription to Comcast. The last time I tried though, they talked me into continuing and adding another service. I was vulnerable damn it. It's like quitting a gym membership you never use. They always seem to pull you back in. Our service is spotty. There have been major outtages and hell - they connected our cable by splicing our neighbors. I could of done that myself, for free.

The Walking Dead - Days Gone Bye
It was good. I wish I hadn't read so many reviews before watching an episode though. My expectations were definitely swayed by reviews such as "for someone who doesn't like zombie movies/shows, I liked it". Good thing I like zombie movies. Reminded me of elements of 28 days later. I didnt read the graphic novel so I can't attest to how it translated to the show. My interest is piqued so I will probably continue watching.

Cupkates Bakery Oakland
Yummy! Very moist cupcakes. Not too much frosting. I'm always a sucker for a good red velvet cupcake. Also tried her pumpkin spice and salted caramel one. Delish!

CODA
Went here to watch Rayband (Ray Charles cover band, like you wouldn't believe!) - it was spectacular! I would go here again. Portions were good. Staff was pleasant. I wish more people would of danced instead of just standing there. Furniture arrangement could use a little help.
