  2. Cliff House

    In 1896 Adolph Sutro built what the current incarnation of the Cliff House is based on. The building survived the San Francisco earthquake in 1906, but was burned down by a fire in 1907.

  3. Pigeon Point Lighthouse

    Pigeon Point Lighthouse is one of the many (and easily accessible) lighthouses scattered along the California coastline. The last time I’ve been there, the federal government was trying to sell the lighthouse to a private party because the $1 million annual maintenance cost was burning a hole in their budget.

  4. St Peter and Paul Church

  5. Amoeba Music

    Hipsters and Audiophiles alike can agree that Amoeba Music is the record store to buy or sell CDs, DVDs and LPs. If having any album you could ever want isn't enough, they have a great selection of cult movies and foreign films.

  6. Big Creek Bridge

    While Bixby Bridge is one of the most photographed bridges in California, it is likely that neighboring Big Creek Bridge takes top honors. Traveling north five miles beyond Lucia on Route 1, you'll see the bridge in the distance and a paved and often busy parking lot where people are out of their cars looking and taking photos.

  7. Nepenthe

    Nepenthe literally means "the one that chases away sorrow" and it first appears in Homer's Odyssey... more loosely translated, it is the drug of forgetfulness.

    However, the restaurant Nepenthe feels like entering a lair of one of Bond's arch-nemesis villains.

  8. Cardinal Coffee Shop & Lounge

    Situated in suburban San Jose, California, the Cardinal Coffee Shop & Lounge is open 24 hours and is perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner or desert at any time of the day or night.

    If you fancy a cocktail, or karaoke, go through to the lounge for some old school Vegas atmosphere.

  9. San Miniato church

  10. Willow Glen

    Willow Glen - Small Town Silicon Valley
