Above all, Sausalito has scenery and sunshine, for once you cross the Golden Gate Bridge, you re out of the San Francisco fog patch and under blue California sky (I hope). Almost all the tourist action, which is basically limited to window- florianopolis shopping and eating, takes place at sea level on Bridgeway.

Also new to the Santa Cruz section is Rosa s Rosticeria, 439 Lake Ave. (& 831/479-3536), where Latin music goes well with the sunny seating, harbor view, Cuban cuisine, and wickedly good Black Margaritas; and The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave. (& 831/429-6994), a local favorite serving 15 styles of delicious crepes.
