Trying to decide between pick-up or delivery from your favorite restaurant? If you want to support small, locally-owned businesses, pick-up is the way to go.

Delivery charges can be expensive for independently owned restaurants. If you're able, please consider picking up your order yourself - you'll bypass the middleman and ensure your meal arrives nice and hot.

Don't want to wait onsite during the pandemic? Place your order in advance over the phone or online. Don't want to go indoors? Some restaurants offer curbside pick-up on request - they're listed in our online Dining Guide. You can enjoy great take-out food and still stay safe from Covid-19!

Om Studios' next Gentle Yoga Class Series begins on Monday, March 15. While Om yoga classes continue daily in the gardens of Cooper-Molera Adobe in Downtown Old Monterey, this class will be held in Jewell Park in Pacific Grove.

If you are just beginning (or re-beginning) your journey into yoga, this Gentle Yoga Series is for you. Om Studios owner Lindsay Wetterau will guide you in building your yoga practice from the ground up. Each posture will be taught in a way that allows the student to develop a strong, healthy, safe, and mindful yoga practice.

This class will incorporate poses into a slow, meditative, calm practice. It's perfect for beginners, or even advanced practitioners wishing to slow down - we'll use gentle movement and breath work to welcome soft openings and mind-body awareness.

Classes will be held Mondays, 11:30am-12:30pm, beginning March 15 in Jewell Park in Pacific Grove. Cost is $69 for 6 weeks. For more information and to register, please e-mail Om Studios. Space is limited, so reserve your spot soon.
