UCHIBA:

Uchiba is a sister of the famous Uchi and Uchiko restaurants, run by Chef Tyson Cole. Even though it’s a little more casual, this place does not disappoint!  Open for lunch and dinner, with a cozy, cool vibe interior, including bar seats and lounge along with an enclosed patio. Right in the middle of the 2nd street district, this is a perfect place to dine with your friends or on a date.  The service here is second to none, and I love how many different varieties of Japanese food they have, for any eater, including non sushi dishes. It’s one of our favorite spots to dine, so you’ll most likely find me here during the week!

TIP:  Open daily Reservations recommended. Valet available for dinner.  Happy Hour is amazing! 

YUMMI JOY:

Yummi Joy is a perfect description for this spot right down the street from The Guest House. After enjoying your meal, and yummy savory goodness…a sweet is a perfect ending. It’s a candy store with lots of choices of nostalgic candy, fudge coffee beverages and soft serve ice cream. Young or old, this will bring out the “kid” in everyone who steps into the store. 

TOY JOY:

Toy Joy, owned by the same group behind Yummi Joy, right next door,  where you can get lost for hours perusing the endless nostalgic toys, novelties, and games at any price for every age.  Have you always dreamed of being a hipster?  They have 6 months of temporary mustaches delivered for only $5 a month.

2nd STREET DISTRICT:

2nd Street District, which is where these stores are located, with heaps of restaurants, boutique shops,  and a grocery store.  They have continuous events throughout the year, and is a great place to spend the day or night.

TIP: Parking can be found on the link above.
