24-Hour Guide to Dining in Monterey and Carmel With Kids - Eater SF
"Once you’ve got your second wind, head downtown and spot some of Hugh Comstock’s fairytale cottages. While you’re at it, do some shopping at Pilgrim’s Way Books & Secret Garden, Carmel-By-The-Sea’s last remaining bookstore. Owners Paul Fridlund and Cynthia Fernandes aim to take every customer through a journey of the written word. The bookstore has a kid’s section, as well as a secret garden that sparks the imaginations of young and old. After all that reading, stock up on cheeses, honeys, jams, and jellies at the Cheese Shop. This is where you bribe the kids. If they’re good, promise to take them to the Cottage of Sweets and the Xocolatl Garden where there’s guaranteed to be a bar of chocolate that will please everyone." - Marisa Churchill
