Outdoor seating coming to Cafe Trieste

Cafe Trieste will soon have an outdoor seating area, using the two parking spots right in front. This is a pilot project as part of the downtown Monterey revitalization plan. Awesome idea. We have the weather for it, so why not take advantage? Looks like they are just about ready to go.

The little chocolate-toffee cookies are yummy -- don't think about the calories.

Lunch with a View

Jack's in the Portola Hotel is a nice place to sit outside, have lunch and a glass of wine, and watch the goings on in Custom House Plaza. You might get seated next to a party of seagulls. This guy wasn't too picky about the menu...whatever's left over is fine.
