Sausalito, CA: December Open Art Studios

On Saturday and Sunday, Dec 7 & 8, is the annual December Open Art Studio in Sausalito. There will be 80 studios open from 11am to 6pm for the public to view the work of local artists over the weekend.

"This year has been very productive and I will have more paintings available
than ever before," said Sue Averell, owner of Sausalito Artists @ Work located on the 2nd floor in Studio 235. Studio 235 is only one of the many studios open for the weekend.

The ICB Art Studios are home to almost 100 artists and offer visitors the opportunity to see inside the working studios of some of the Bay Area's most talented artists. Nestled close to the San Francisco Bay, toward the North end of Sausalito, is this landmark historic building, steeped in the area's ship building roots, and rekindled by the creative juices of a vibrant community of artists.

"I'm so pleased to be showing a large selection of Urban Landscape and Botanicals, two Seascapes, two pieces from my NEW Underwater Series and two from my NEW Inside Out Series," said Sue.

ICB Art Studios are located on the corner of Harbor Drive and Gate Five Road. There is plenty of free parking anywhere in the lot.

San Francisco, CA: Pier 23 Cafe

Pier 23 Cafe is a unique waterfront restaurant specializing in fresh seafood, live music and beautiful views of San Francisco bay. Family owned and operated for over 25 years, Pier 23 Cafe captures the heart and soul of a city obsessed with food. The large bay side patio allows patrons to soak up the California sun while enjoying creative dishes made from fresh, local ingredients and the entertainment of live bands. Night time outdoor dining in the heated tent is complimented by maritime activity and amazing views of Treasure Island and the Berkeley Hills.

Pier 23 Café has always been known as a unique waterfront restaurant in the San Francisco Bay area, and prides itself on offering new creative dishes for patrons while they enjoy a gorgeous view. For a cool, healthy treat, the new Butter Lettuce Salad is a great choice. Thin slices of cucumbers, mangoes and shards of watermelon radish, are tossed with red onion all served over butter lettuce and dressed with a coriander vinaigrette. For a spicier option, the new Seared Beef & Papaya Salad is not for the faint of heart. The chile crusted sliced beef is bursting with heat, but is relieved by the flavorful green papaya. Topped with pickled onion, toasted peanuts, and garlic chips that add nice crunch and layers of flavor that reveal themselves more with each bite.

Pier 23 Café encourages their friends to come down, enjoy delicious dishes and a live show, right on the waterfront. During the week, customers can enjoy some great jazz from artists like Marty Eggers or the Dick Conte Duo.
