Photos are now online of the Fifth Annual Children's Trick-or-Treat on Lighthouse, October 26, 2013. We hope you enjoy them!

If you see yourself or your child in one of the photos and you'd like a high resolution copy of it e-mailed to you, please contact us at info@lighthousedistrict.net.

The New Monterey Business Association would like to thank the many hard-working volunteers who made this event possible (including a fantastic team from the Defense Language Institute) as well as the many participating businesses and families who made it a great success!

The New Monterey Business Association is pleased to welcome West Coast Tea to the Lighthouse District! Located inside Cat's Meow at 601 Lighthouse Avenue, it offers premium, special, and rare loose leaf teas from around the world as well as many helpful items to prepare and enjoy tea such as cups, tea pots, strainers, and exclusive electric samovars.

Contrary to many teas offered by other suppliers in the US, West Coast Tea's certified lab technicians in Germany are limited by German law to release teas with only minimum amounts of pesticides and chemicals, so you can be assured they only carry teas which are truly good for your body and soul.

West Coast Tea is open for retail trade seven days a week, 11am-6pm, and serves tea Friday - Sunday, 11am-6pm.

Monterey Copy Center has been renamed Pixels! Still located at 730 Lighthouse Avenue in New Monterey, Pixels has the same local ownership and staff and continues to specialize in graphic design, print, and copy. We've just changed our name to better reflect our business. For more information on our many services and pricing, please phone us at 831-333-0174.

At the Lighthouse District's newest fitness center, Velocity Performance Training, located at 828 Lighthouse Avenue, you don't see rows of cardio equipment like you do at most gyms. We use a much more effective (and a lot more fun) way to do "cardio". Our VPT Metabolic group sessions are our version of a cardio workout. They burn calories, get your metabolism revving and give you the cardiovascular benefits you're looking for.

In the research, interval cardio training has been shown to be the most effective for fat loss. We've taken it up a notch and incorporated exercises in multiple planes of motion, using all kinds of equipment such as TRX, kettle bells, ropes, sand bags, medicine balls, and more into an interval-style workout. You'll have a blast and you'll torch fat.

Halloween on Lighthouse 2013

Posted on October 1st, 2013 by Lighthouse District

New Monterey's Lighthouse District invites you to join us for our Annual Halloween Celebrations! With children's trick-or-treating at the shops on Lighthouse Avenue, parties for adults and kids, an outdoor screening of Spielberg's E.T, a great selection of costumes, and a special costume fashion show, Halloween in the Lighthouse District promises to be fun for all ages!

Be sure to view the full list of events and specials here and to check back regularly because this list will grow like the number of giant monsters emerging from a wormhole in the ocean floor in a Guillermo del Toro film.

Prime Monterey is pleased to announce two new classes led by instructor Mia Hurst, a gifted yoga teacher whose attitude is uplifting and whose cues are easy to apply. Bring a water bottle - shoes and mat are optional.

PRANA YOGA
Tuesdays, 12pm

Regular Prana Yoga practice is a powerful therapeutic tool for healing the physical and mental body. It slows the aging process and keeps you open sexually; it creates strength, flexibility and muscle tone; it improves posture, and it will increase your sense of grace and overall well being.

MAT PILATES
Thursdays, 12pm

Pilates develops alignment, breathing, and a strong core and improves coordination and balance. The mat exercises are the foundation for the entire system. Mia allows for all exercises to be modified according to your level.

To register and for more information, please phone Prime Master Trainers Jolie at 831-809-2571 or Jen at 831-224-7119.
