That night I went to the Gilded Cage with a purpose and was dressed accordingly: blue sports jacket, slacks, loafers without socks, white shirt open to the third button. I arrived early and found a stool at the semi-circular bar, put a fiver on the bar for effect, ordered a Millers High Life, lit a cigarette, and looked around. The bar-stools were almost all occupied — by men. Soon they'd be three deep, it being Friday night.

With its breathtaking setting at the northern end of Monterey Bay, vibrant and progressive Santa Cruz County makes a fabulous and friendly destination for a short getaway. Stroll a couple of blocks east and take the pedestrian bridge across the San Lorenzo River, and then continue south along the multiuse Santa Cruz Riverwalk , as it meanders in a southeasterly direction along the levee, over the Branciforte Creek Bridge, and eventually along Cliff Drive. Cross back over the San Lorenzo River via the cantilevered pedestrian bridge that runs alongside a handsome steel-truss trestle bridge built by the Southern Pacific Railroad in Beyond the boardwalk, if possible at around sunset, venture out onto the bustling Santa Cruz Wharf , soaking up views of the bay clear across to Monterey—about 22 miles south—and listening to the animated barks of seal lions, which you can view through observation windows, cavorting below the wharf on wooden planks.

Truly, Monterey is a city with much to offer!
