Sightseeing
For me it's not about the wine, it's about Scolari's Blueberry Burger, couches and 360 views of the bay. Frequent live music on weekends.

The biggest you've ever seen. Much more than flea market, unique collectibles, artwork, crafts, things from all around the world, creatively curated. Flanked by food truck and an amazing view. First Sunday.

Always something going on from dinner music with a great house band, karaoke, jazz brunch. And of course a ginormous art deco theater where you can have drinks and food ordered to your seat.
