The usual stuff you'd find at a non-chain type of pizza joint but really good! Frozen yogurt shop next door as is a movie theatre. All of this is across the street from tennis courts and Howarth park.

Sightseeing
From our house head West on Hwy 12, through Sebastopol until you get to Bodega Bay. Grab lunch then head north along the Sonoma Coast for about 1/2hr or so until you get to Jenner. Turn East and come back through Guerneville along the Russian River. Generally takes less than 2 hours. One of my favorite local motorcycle rides.

Arts & Culture
Wine country tour! Head East on HWY 12 to Sonoma. Visit many, many wineries along the way. Then head over towards Napa on HWY 29. More Wineries. Continue on to Calistoga passing through Yountville and Saint Helena and more wineries. After Saint Helena, jog north to Silverado Trail and take it into Calistoga. Spectacular! Out of Calistoga grab 128 all the way to Geyserville...and more wineries! Along with the cooling fog, this is why we live here! Head home on 101 south.
