Downtown Monterey recently got a wonderful shout out from the Frugal Traveler column in the NY Times!

In A Cheapskate in Monterey , Elaine Giusac explored Monterey looking for great travel experiences that won't bust the bank. She specifically mentioned Ad Astra Bread, Alvarado Street Brewery, Alta Bakery & Cafe, and El Charito Express as some of her Monterey highlights.
