Agreed!
You must try Riviera bread!!
Same owner, but Little Heart Cafecito in The Public Market has my favorite chilequiles.
Corazon Comedor has a queso fundido special on the menu right now that may be the best dish I’ve ever had in Santa Barbara—
Erik , I love your dish choices ! ( Only dish missing for me would be one from Secret Bao .) I am sorry the secret of Oat Bakery's charcoal sesame sourdough bread is out ! Now it will never be on the shelves . ;-).
Melville: 120 State St.
100% agree!
LIVE LIFE AND SAVOR WINE- YOU WON’T LIVE FOREVER!
I would never go on a cruise but something about seeing the ships offshore is appealing. They are huge and then they are gone. I watched the Harbor Commission meeting on You Tube and some people I know spoke out against the ships because they "pollute." The irony is thick. Since that meeting on February 15, we have seen Miramar beach closed because of a sewage spill, West beach opened after 9,000 gallons were spilled in Mission creek. But the most insane news is the 500,000 gallons of sewage spilled into the Goleta slough last week. . . wait. I was online a bit ago and the spill has been updated to over 1,000,000 gallons. There is no threat of pollution from cruise ships compared to what we are doing to ourselves.
Sam- I am so blessed, and my gas tank is FULL! This is happening as we all know who will be in office after the 2024 election- the leases will all be open again and SB County- as much as it deserves NADA- will pay many many bills and pensions with the tax revenue. And you and I will be proud of our contributions to our Country! Love ya!
I had all the same thoughts about Abrigada but wasn’t aware it was part of a kitty litter dynasty. Lends an additional dimension of LOL to the whole thing.
Foothill is the most drab and uninspired thing I’ve seen. Doesn’t anyone doing renovations or design in town have any personality anymore? Blegh. Sometimes I browse LA listings just to see some homes that have a soul, despite hating LA with every fiber of my being.
I like that the speculators on Chelham added the tasteful stone wall out front. It wasn’t in the street view and that’s a really lovely addition.
Imagine being so willfully ignorant and yet so confident? Sigh...
Bless your heart Christine!
Even more reason to welcome them- why on EARTH we fly globally without a care in the world yet try to tell fellow Americans they suck for daring to sail their own coastline and visit their Riviera. Absolutely stunning audacity - we employ thousands to serve tourists!
Thanks! Helpful to know.
Monterey has stopped allowing cruise ships to stop there, so if a line wants an itinerary with a stop between L.A. and San Francisco, we're it's only choice.
"The cruise lines need us more than we need them." Just curious what you are basing this comment on.
Common sense says relying on the comically UNSURE & never stable Middle Eastern sources, especially at THIS TIME, is laughably unwise. Thanks for the laugh
Offshore drilling so close to the mainland is unnecessary and unwise. Closing much of Alaska is equally unwise. There is plenty of crude to be had in places that so not pose such an extreme environmental risk. Let common sense prevail.
The loss of Linden Hall is SO disappointing.
Carp is small, and we should be TRYING to get new businesses and cool ideas into our empty spaces. The council needs to stop dragging their feet and putting up red tape, and start bringing life back into our closed and shuttered spaces. Red tape is strangling Carp and soon Linden will be empty like State St.
HA! Did you purposely post the "bad oil people trying to re-up" on top of "Goleta out of money gonna take gas tax money for car infrastructure" - you are hilarious! DRILL BABY DRILL! Lets contribute to National Security, local jobs and bring oil back- THAT IS THE MESSAGE!
Well, I will have a drink on the Biltmore patio and toast to its long storied history. Hope they haven’t done too much changing of the interior.
The city is to blame. They make Everything 100 times more complicated than it needs to be. There needs to be an overhaul of city employees in carpinteria. Should only allow people with business experience to serve. I don’t think Nick has worked in a regular job that is not for the city . Ever!!
Carp local out!
Bettina’s potato pizza, Corazon’s Norteno and Tijuana tacos, empty Bowl’s wings and Thai beef salad, superica’s number 16, Los Agaves sea and earth Mocajete, Arigato soft shell crab salad and mushroom truffle sushi roll-some of my fave things in SB.
Hey Erik! Have you tried Riviera Bread yet? It's...unreal.
totally agree
Thank you for keeping us posted
I love this post! Thanks. Oat Bakery, Bettina, Corazon. Yum!
