The bite sized, very accessible, and inexpensive comic convention returns for a return engagement to Campbell! It's ideal for families, people who just want to get a taste of the "comic con" scene, or hard core fans looking for a change of pace with a more intimate affair. Look in our albums for some photos from last year's Campbell Con if you want to see what it was like. Tickets are only $10! Compare that to the $55 cost for an adult for a day at the big shows before you throw in parking and hotel into the mix. It really is the neighborhood pop culture convention that it's billed as.

Yes, Cat's Meow is your destination for Pokemon Go! We dare you to overpower our Gym Leader! Walk into our doors and get $10 off any battle wear you choose.

Monterey Seibukan Academy invites you to come check out our back to school specials! We offer classes in Seibukan Jujutsu for children ages 5 and up, and for adults. The first class is free! Please contact us for more information, 831-375-6797.

Seibukan Jujutsu is modern-day martial art based on ancient Japanese practices intended for self-defense and self-development. It encourages the use of verbal de-escalation, ideally preventing the use of physical force. You will gain a higher understanding of how the body moves, or doesn't move, using strikes, throws, pins, joint manipulation, weapon disarms, and multiple-attacker scenarios. The philosophical aspect of the art improves your relationship with yourself, others, and the global community. The practice of the martial way cultivates the internal connection between the mind, the body, and the spirit. The overall goal is to create balance in your life.

On July 22, Alvarado Street Brewery and Grill rolled out its new Summer Menu! Come taste a bunch of Chef Jeremiah Tydeman's new seasonal offerings, such as Chili Colorado Tacos featuring three corn tortilla tacos, pork braised in a rich, red chili sauce, queso fresco, red onion, and cilantro, or Melon Panzanella Salad featuring grilled sourdough, summer melon, fresh basil, pickled onions, bacon lardons, sweet basil vinaigrette, and feta cheese. Delicious!

They're back! Take a bite out of summer with Chef Snyder's grilled peaches at Esteban Restaurant. Topped with fresh slices of avocado and drizzled in green onion lime vinaigrette, this sweet and refreshing dish is one you don't want to miss before it's gone.

Who doesn't just love Caesar salad?! At Paris Bakery, we assemble our salads fresh to order, and you can make it your own by adding chicken or throwing it into a wrap.
