Trip to SB
Jul 16, 2014,07:58 AM
SB is a nice place for a weekend visit. One of the fun things I like to do is the Segway tours around town. It's about 2 hours and you ride along the State St, Cabrillo Blvd, UCSB, and various parks.

ps - the Bouchon in SB is not related to the Thomas Keller ones. But the food is fantastic (get the seared scallops!) and I highly recommend it for your next visit.

Canary Hotel Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara is a nice getaway from Los Angeles. It's about 95 miles but the drive up the 101 freeway is always pleasant. For this trip we stayed at the Canary Hotel which is part of the Kimpton group of boutique hotels. It's conveniently located off the...
Jeannine's Bakery and Restaurant

Since we arrived early to Santa Barbara, we had breakfast at Jeanninie's Bakery and Restaurant. The place is located just south of the amazing State & Fig on Figueroa Street. The coffee was good but the best things on the menu are the buttermilk panca...
State & Fig

A fellow PuristS foodie who frequented Santa Barbara highly recommended a restaurant nearby the Canary called State & Fig. We started with a Fig Toast: Grilled crostoni, ricotta, fig jam, arugula, lemon EVOO Some champagne to start! Delicious! Clam Ch...
Persona Pizza

For a quick lunch, we went to the Persona Pizza place which is about a block away on State Street from the Canary Hotel. T Woodfired goodness! The concept is similar to a place we went to in L.A. ( ) where you build your fresh and hot pizza. Pepperoni, s...
Chase Bar and Grill

We really enjoyed our dining experience at State & Fig and was about to go there again but we decided on trying something else. They have a Hungry Cat and Bouchon out here in Santa Barbara so we passed on them. We walked by a restaurant called Chase B...
McConnell's Fine Ice Creams
By: DRMW : July 16th, 2014-00:09
It isn't a trip to Santa Barbara unless you have ice cream at McConnel's! They have a location on State Street but IMO the one on Mission is much better. Both places usually have long lines: There's a reason they have long lines, their ice cream is absolu...

There's a few places around the pier that is really good. Did you go to the Santa Barbara Shellfish Company? My favorite near the pier is Brophy's. -MW ...

I remember those Santa Barbara days back in my undergrad years. I went to school in Los Angeles (Orange County to be exact) and visited an old grade-school friend who went to school at Santa Barbara. Spend the afternoon on State Street, sampling food and ...

If you go to Solvang check out the Hitching Post off the Highway 246 in Buellton (they are only open for dinner). -MW

I wanted to try the pastrami place that is a block away that is supposed to be really good. Is Bouchon in SB better than the one here? -MW
