"Bad Animal in Santa Cruz is co-owned by former University of California, Santa Cruz professor Andrew Sivak and chef Jessica LoPrete, who worked at Zuni Café, Contigo, and Greens restaurants in San Francisco. They have a three-pronged focus: food, wine, and a highly curated selection of used books, mostly fiction, poetry, philosophy, and the occult. A Thai dinner-only pop-up, Hanloh, started in late 2022 in the bookstore’s front, next to the wine racks and bar." - Sharon McDonnell
