I'm probably a lonely person who is glad that shalhoobs is departing... Now, hopefully, we can resume purchasing alcohol from whichever restaurant we like & drink wherever we choose. Standing or sitting near service area of Wabi Sabi isn't pleasant, for example. And how was that rule implemented anyway? Seems a bit of infringement on other restaurants abilities to sell liquor! It is after all, The Public Market!! Not Shalhoobs' extension #1, 2 & 3!!
The Parklet fees are totally bogus & a total shakedown by the city! City council beware... Don't bite the hands that feed you!! What will be left in our fair city of restaurants start closing their doors?? Extremely disappointed in the direction that city council & big flop of mayor randy rouse chose to go down!! Shameful!
With The Palms closed it seems like a good move, where do Carp locals hang out these days?
The Barbary Coast or Cove was quite a Rockin' bar in the 1970's. Not much info on it now,they had a Great Rock band called Gold Street. It was near Hollister and Aero Camino and always packed.
Can anyone please tell me why the nugget would open another restaurant in carpinteria after not being able to keep the nugget open..? I just don’t get it. Maybe they are trying to prove something?? Who knows!
Anyone else curious?
Carp foodie out!
Ex-Seattleite saying Yippee for Piroshky Piroshky! Devine!
I wish they were Pierogi and not Piroshky. Pierogi popup would do very well!!!!
Do u think they put items on the menu that sell?
Does this seem like govt sanctioned robbery to anyone... jes askin.
LOVE IT!!
Only one vegetarian item on the entire menu at Augies! I am so baffled by many of the restaurants in Santa Barbara that are heavily meat centric; get with the times! The environment. And on so many menus, the only veg item is mushroom base. C’mon people, it is not rocket science to have a diverse, tasty and healthy vegetarian selection these days. Santa Barbara feels like the dark ages in that regard. I don’t want to be forced to go to a vegan place, although Rascals rocks, to get vegetarian food. It’s also nice for non meat eaters to be able to dine with carnivorous friends and get more than a salad.
I live on Ricardo (ours is the house under construction, come see it when it’s done!) The house on La Coronilla, with the giant garage, was specially permitted for the owner, who was handicapped, and drove a bus for the city. He got special permission to park the bus at home. We were so so sad to see it converted to a regular garage door opening.
You called it! That San Roque ranch with the pool went for 3.8......and FAST.
Corazon could double their space and still have a line. Assuming all the other restaurants are doing well. Love Empty Bowl also.
Interesting about Shalhoobs.
If you read the details in the agenda it's a $514 preliminary application fee and a $2,500 license application fee. My guess is that the first fee is for the initial review to make sure the application is even feasible (making sure that the property owner isn't proposing a two-story deck structure that sits in the middle of the 101) and all the proper forms are filled out, while the latter is the fee for the actual full review of the details.
Amazing, always impressive to see how people get permits that fast for the remodels… ????????????
Thank you for this! Will check out the trail ASAP....
I wonder why we need another smoke and vape shop when there is already one close by on De la Vina. Especially when smoking and vaping are not allowed in public places in Santa Barbara.
The upper part of La Vista Del Oceano is indeed public, despite the (old) signage. Welcome! It's my bench shown in the opening photo.
From the circle at the top of the street, take the trail alongside 1703 down to Santa Fe Place and Cliff Drive for a scenic circuit. The trail is a public easement over private property, so stay on it. And go at your own risk. Enjoy!
Are pop-ups the cruise ships of hospitality?
I've walked almost every street in Santa Barbara, and La Vista del Oceano is easily one of my favorites
There's more in the Noozhawk article about the trees.
What has happened with the Canary Island Date Palms that were removed from Refugio? Were they able to be planted elsewhere?
I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.
Your tree photos are really wonderful, but the idea of sitting on that bench gives me vertigo!
