Food Scene

This used to be a small little hole in the wall. When the tenant next to them moved out, PMH rented in and expanded. Its not a large location with plenty of seating, open late and in down town central Santa Cruz. There are plenty of other restaurants on the same street, ice cream parlors, coffee shops, etc.

This is a staple in downtown Santa Cruz to go and have an actual sit-down dinner at a place that doesn't feel like a fast food joint which is what most of downtown Santa Cruz has. Great personal pizzas, pastas, and much. I usually end up here on nights out in downtown SC if I want a place to sit down at a table.

This is seriously a great place to go to with the ocean as your view while you eat. Its a little on the pricier side.., but the food is good and the view is great. If you can get there for the sunset, its A-Mazing.

Downtown Capitola needs no explanation. You can go there and enjoy all day long in an area thats the size of an NFL football field. Every restaurant on the water is great, plenty of food options and awesome little shops to enjoy thru out the day.

Its the boardwalk, if you've been to SC, you know all about it. If you've never been there, its time to go. Its free entry to just walk around and enjoy the beach, the food, the arcades, and much more. Even at night when its closed, the arcades are open late, theres a bowling alley across the street, and plenty of places to eat all on the same street and most are open late.

An awesome quaint place to go to just kick back and relax, listen to some music, dance a little and just enjoy the night with some cool people. Years ago, the 2nd floor if I recall used to be a hookah lounge, i'm not sure if they do that anymore.

Its a bar and night club. The bar side has seating and tables to eat and drink, and on the weekends the back side usually has a DJ and dancing. Its up on the 2nd floor, but you have to climb up about 2 flights of stairs to get up to it. So be careful how much you drink so the walk back down the stairs doesn't turn into a fall back down the stairs.
