This is an organic micro brewery and restaurant/bar. They have a small range of their own beers - I don't like beer and they managed to find one that I like! They also have a full bar with other beers (organically produced). The restaurant sells a range of organically produced food and the staff happily advise you of the day's specials (their baklava with local walnuts and ice cream was the best ever.) They also have live music at the weekend.

Mendocino is north of San Francisco, Napa and Sonoma counties. Still undiscovered but with some wonderful small wineries, mostly organic and some also biodynamic. My favourite is the Parducci Vineyard who are the first carbon neutral vineyard in the US. And as a bonus, it is one of the very few which exports its wines to the UK.

Fabulous all-American bar in one of the best NY hotels where the bloody mary was invented. You have to go in the cosy bar with comfortable leather armchairs, fabulously attentive staff, lovely nibbles and, of course, the best bloody mary in town.
