I live here and probably didn't know about half of these places. I pass by them all the time and totally ignore them. WOW thank you, now I will be giving these a closer look. And thank you for sharing about that artist, I pass by that place all the time as it's on my way home and I never knew what it was. Makes me realize how much I have taken this place for granted.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for the comment and I am glad the video encouraged you to explore more of your city. I highly recommend that beer can chicken, I still think about how good that is haha.

[@sharusharu143]

Hi are you still in Napa. We will be staying in Napa for two months and This video is a cherry on top! Thank you.

[@vilma4054]

So do I

[@sabree73]

I miss my hometown Napa Valley!! Wow it has changed so much!!! If I ever get to go back I will definitely check out your super cool list!!

[@todddenny1483]

Rutherford Grill is my all time favorite!!!! Lunch or dinner

[@THECLASSICKAT]

Real nice video--definitely going to check Napa out this weekend.

[@toshibavoodoo]

Hope your getting paid for these videos, they are great and I want to see a ton more! I Love to take Scenic drives up the coast, and use your website exclusively. Kudos!!

[@Mollymoolol9898]

I agree too! These videos have helped me prepare for my upcoming trip to California

[@lucienteaford7518]

Across from the Napa High School is a bakery and diner called Buttercream. Across the street from that is a hidden gem, a diamond in the rough, Loller's Liquor store. Although Loller's sells alcohol, it also sells some killer ravioli and malfatti (a sausage made from the filling of ravioli).

[@susanh7710]

It is actually called Lawler's Liquors. And you're right the malfatti is delicious,( but honestly it's all about the sauce,) had a dozen last night for dinner. I got some garlic twists from Round Table Pizza to go with it. Also I used to work a Buttercream Bakery (40 years ago). Still good, but "Happy's Donuts" (located in Riverpark Shopping Center here in Napa) make the best donuts ever, in my opinion. They take cash only. They open early, and are sold out and closed by noon. There is usually a line out the door. Mmm

[@bobbyboombeck]

Favorite restaurant in Napa is Torc. SO good. Great recommendations. We were just there a couple weeks back. We just missed you guys :)

[@juandiazaguilar5279]

I love West Coast I love California

[@ArbitraryExploration]

Great video! Very informative! So many things to do there besides wine tasting.

[@juandiazaguilar5279]

Your documentaries are amazing

[@juandiazaguilar5279]

You show your excellent way to connect clear explanation

[@madfzr]

Great video as always! A+++

[@misskristinn]

This was so helpful in planning my upcoming honeymoon, thanks!

[@WeezyBlendz]

Just go to the napa bowling alley, there’s an arcade, air hockey, and pool. And Saturday nights the neon lights come on and it looks amazing, oh and it’s not a four lane😂

[@nuttkraker2127]

Kidd Dubb fr lmao

[@brendonfreeman1]

Favorite restaurants in downtown Napa that you didn't mention (no particular order): Morimoto, Charlie Palmer Steak, Eiko's, 8 Noodle Shop, Grace's Table, Tarla, Miminashi, Carpe Diem, and Zuzu.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for sharing these, I have only been to 8 Noodle Shop from that list and it was great. I am glad there are more to check out!

[@chriscorsello]

I was born and raised in Napa, and I must say it is nice to see something besides just wine tasting recommendations. Westwood Hills is a nice hike, but I would also recommend Skyline Park. (It also happens to be the subject of my latest video!)

[@napa6595]

That's cool.

[@buggkidd]

Ok so I live in Napa and the oxbow is pretty great the kitchen door is a popular restaurant in there and it’s next to the best cheese I’ve ever had and Annette’s, ohhhh Annette’s that place is the best gosh darn chocolate !

[@ctm479]

Claire Baire what school do you got to middle school

[@xman2436]

The chocolates from Anette’s are really good

[@annd888]

Bouchon bakery is a must. Get the English muffins at model bakery. Yummm

[@gabrielasanchez3410]

I just pulled up to the ABC place you recommended! So excited!

[@californiathroughmylens]

It's a great spot for sure

[@ctm479]

I love to go to the Napa down town I always ask my parents if I could go out with my friends last time I went out at 12:00 pm and came back at home at 7pm we always skate around the place and there is like a small skate park it’s cool there

[@champagnesylvie-lavieenfra1378]

💜 HELLO 💜💜 💙 💚💛 We love VINES VINEYARDS, WINE AND CHAMPAGNE 💬 ▶ good job◀ 🌈 GREETINGS FROM FRANCE 🌈☆✨☆⭐✨☆⭐☆

[@MrSkerge]

Nice recommendations! Will definitely try Beer Can Chicken and visit the 9/11 art. Honorable Mentions?: Yountville's Bouchon and this Water Geyser I came across in St Helena

[@californiathroughmylens]

Both great spots, I love Bouchon, especially the bakery!

[@chriscorsello]

Also, surprised you didn't notice the Oxbow Market's similarities to the Ferry Building in San Francisco. I am told it is the same architect. I am also betting that Gott's being next door is not a coincidence.

[@brojakeyt6782]

[@gardensofthegods]

I could have sworn a year or two ago that some of Napa got burnt in the fires ... that's what somebody said

[@juandiazaguilar5279]

Reggards for you

[@ashleymitts]

[@kelly-fm6eh]
