This spot has something for everyone! Bustling market in an old Navy building with hip eateries, bars & specialty food & craft vendors. After you fill up, head outside for a walk. There's a nice path that runs along the waterfront. This area has unique architecture as it was originally one of the U.S. Navy's Bootcamp locations. I'm partial to it, since I'm a Navy Veteran myself ;)

Amazing freshly made pasta & sauce. It's my favorite because you get to pair your pasta & your sauce! Indoor & outdoor seating. I highly recommend a reservation!

Neighborhood Grocery/Specialty Meats

If you forgot something at the grocery store, you can always pop down to Siesel's. They are known for their specialty meats, but also have everyday grocery items.

Drinks & Nightlife

For the beer lover. Hip gastropub & brewery with international eats, craft beers, bocce games & outdoor tables. They've done an amazing job with the landscaping that surrounds the outdoor eating spaces. In the summer they usually offer classic movie nights. Think drive-in movie, only bring lawn chairs for you & your pals or a blanket to snuggle up with your sweetie.

Arts & Culture

Wednesday is OB Farmer's Market Day (4-8pm)! There's a bohemian vibe & a live band to make you wanna move your dancin' feet! It's so close to the ocean that, when you've had your fill of the food, music & shopping, you can have a stroll on the beach or catch the sunset.
