This is some of the best food in the county! Robert, the owner studied in Naples, Italy to actually do it right! Great wine from all over the world and hand picked beer.
Robert can be a little eccentric. Some notes: No substitutions for anything. It's not really kid friendly, no to-go orders and no parties over 6. Honestly, you don't want to substitute anyway. Robert is a sommelier and his skills are impressive. His pallet is amazing. When I go there, I simply ask Robert to suprise me and I am never disappointed... EVER!

This used to be Mary's Diner 30 years ago. The "Hot Chocolate Mug" still stands. Good food and coffee. everything is made to order and there's usually a wait... but it's worth it.
Saturday nights throughout the summer Caffe Blossom has live music starting at 8pm. Always a great crowd and lots of fun.

So... Ed's is a smoking friendly (Hard to believe they still exist) total dive bar. I recommend it only because it is the real deal. Ed's has been the same bar since it has opened. They won't make any specialty drinks with fruit juices and stuff, unless it's OJ or grapefruit. The place stinks of smoke and stale booze... but, it's sort of out of movie. Poke your head in if you're feeling brave.

Parks & Nature
What can I say about this place? It is my favorite place in the world. I go two or three times a year and every time I am awestruck by its beauty.
As John Muir put it: "It is easier to feel than to realize, or in any way explain, Yosemite grandeur. The magnitudes of the rocks and trees and streams are so delicately harmonized, they are mostly hidden."

The miniature golf course in Twain Harte has been around since my mom was a kid. Open during the summer and on weekends until snow (usually) this is sort of a "must do".
