RIP FUNK ZONE
Its not gone or going away. And it is a fantastic lunch option, with polite staff. Don’t go if you don’t want, but stay the F OUT OF MY WAY if you see me turning onto State street. Its very rude to assume your tastes fill every cup honey
Not sad about Chick-Fil-A at all — still anti-LGBTQ and a traffic hazard on State Street with their backed-up drive-through and the frustrated/ragey drivers trying to unstuck from that mess. Bye!
The second photo only went up after I added the answer.
Riviera Theatre on APS. Look closely and you can see the sign over the arched entryway.
I just love your site. Your posts really encompass so many activities, dining options, events and real estate all in one that it makes me feel more a part of the community . Thank you for keeping us informed !
Just heartbroken to hear that Chocolats du CaliBressan is closing their downtown SB location. Their salted caramel Buddha is the best! My go to chocolate for lifting my spirit. Jill and JeanMichel are just the nicest people.
Assuming that ilFustino (that shared their space) will be shuttering that location as well?
Screw anti-LGBTQ Chick-Fil-A... good riddance.
Very much agree with the comments by Steven. The old Miramar is very much missed by the “Cito Rats” who grew up on the “Mar”.
The new joint is fine for the L.A. crowd, but too “Kardashian” for this local...
Bwhaaaa! Ridiculous, but fun to see the ol’ Miramar (I miss it!) in the Jacqumentary
Another worthy guess, but no.
The SB courthouse.
Nope, but another good guess.
News Press building De La Guerra Plaza
Afraid not, but thanks for guessing!
I think this is the SB Post Office on corner of De la Guerra and Anacapa
The blueberry scones were sold out this morning! Big rush after this was published!
As of an hour ago, Peasant's Feast closed until further notice as one of their employees has COVID. Check their newest Instagram post, it's a crazy pivot.
The Lark’s take out is delicious and I ordered the Cardamon buns for Christmas breakfast! The beer garden should absolutely have a wine bar on the roof! Thank you for your wonderful posts!
I just emailed you contact info for Gipsy Hill Bakery (whose website will be up soon). If anyone else wants it, let me know.
Dying to find out more about Gipsy Hill cardamom buns. Alas, I don’t use Instagram and can’t even access the page without an account right now! (Facebook likes to try to bully people into signing up for an account.) I lived in London and cardamom buns from a Swedish bakery were my Friday morning made-it-through-the-workweek treat to myself. I’ve missed them ever since moving back to SB. Is there a physical location? Google directs to Instagram and more articles. Thanks!
"gluten-free" snow....hahaha!
Well, if you insist.... For what it's worth, I can vouch for seven of these, and two of the others are on my to-try list.
I love this. Awards are so arbitrary, but hidden secrets are for everyone!
But in future years, we'll need the Siteline editor(s) to verify that these are all 3.5/4.0 awesome ?
That is not entirely true about Solvang. The city did give permission businesses to operate as usual should they choose to do so (much like other cities such as Beverly Hills and Pasadena) but everything is still closed.
