With lime-ginger sauce and soy glaze, rice and mango salsa. $5
Hula’s Island Grill, Santa Cruz CA
This tasted ok, but the squid steak had a super squishy texture which I didn’t like. I liked the sauces they used and the addition of rice and mango salsa though. It was also nicely fried so it wasn’t greasy.
Orange-yellow hibiscus flower (Malvaceae), The Mystery Spot.
With Bulleit bourbon. We came here randomly one evening and it was pretty dead. The lady bartender was REALLY nice and accommodating though and she did a good job on the Manhattans. We had arrived pretty early so towards the end of our visit the nightly DJ had begun setting up his station. Playing a few games of pool was fun, but their table was on a slant so the balls never really did want you wanted them to do.
The Blue Lounge, Santa Cruz CA
Train tracks toward the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.
Fresh berries and maple syrup. $10
Solaire Restaurant + Bar, Santa Cruz CA
These were just your standard French toast. They tasted fine but they weren’t anything special.
Chicken sausage. $4
These sausages were pretty sad especially when they cost four bucks!
Ketchup, maple syrup and butter.
