Although Clam Chowder is awesome. P4P, next time your in the Bay, hit up Monterey Bay. Awesome city, one of the coolest niche cities in California. Not really a party town or anything and a lot of it is old people, but the place is the most beautiful place in the country. Seriously, it's ridiculous. Hella expensive though. And it's just a short drive from Santa Cruz which is the most stereotypical California city in the state. Plus you got roller coasters like 30 feet from the ocean.
