Santa Cruz: Fine, Funky Elegance
Santa Cruz: Fine, Funky Elegance
A visit to Santa Cruz, California is always a special treat. This smallish Bay Area town hosts an eclectic mix of wealthy Hippies, starving artists and San Franciscans 'getting away' for a weekend at the beach. Navigating around town can be a hassle, especially if you want to party with your friends. Parking near the beach is nearly impossible on a Saturday night. Get smart and hire a safe and spacious US Coachways limousine and all the aforementioned hassles are gone! The moment you first step into your limousine, you'll know that you made an excellent choice. Go all-out, if you're in that sort of mood, and invite ten of your closest friends along for the adventure. And an adventure is exactly what tonight will be.
Begin with a fabulous Asian feast at Uncle Kwok's Szechwan Restaurant at 7960 Sequel Drive, just up the coast a minute in scenic Aptos. Uncle Kwok's serves the finest Chinese food in town- ask anyone! One good thing about eating at Uncle's is you still feel light on your feet, even after a scrumptious dinner. Everyone agrees that some dancing is in order, so climb back into your long, lovely limo and ask your professionally uniformed driver to escort your party to the Blue Lagoon Lounge at 923 Pacific Avenue in Santa Cruz.
The Blue Lagoon Lounge has a different flavor of live dance music seven nights a week. Saturday nights it's 'Deep House' music, while later in the week DJ Tripp hosts 'The Big Eighties' dance party, with shoulder pads, big hair and all the other accouterments of the '80s. If you're not up for a good old slam-dance, you might want to head over to the Kuumbwa Jazz Center at 320 Cedar Street for an entirely different kind of sound. Kuumbwa offers jazz, hot and cool, for your pleasure every night of the week. World-class acts often play at Kuumbwa's -- this March the McCoy Tyner Trio as well as Dave Brubeck will entertain the intimate crowds with their unique jazz stylings. Arriving at one of those gigs in a limousine, of all things-- How excellent is that?
Even this fine evening must draw to a close, and a lovely place to wind things up is at Cafe Buzz. Located at 415 River Street in Santa Cruz, Cafe Buzz serves the best cappuccino in town, late into the night. And what a night it's been. Tonight your dreams will have a jazz soundtrack and you'll wake up wondering when's the next time you can hire a limousine and do it all again.
