CULINARY SPOTLIGHT
Healdsburg
Little Saint Events
Successfully positioned as a local gathering place and haven for art and anything cultural, Little Saint events have been a favorite amongst recent guests; particularly, the concerts. Every Thursday evening the restaurants 2nd level is transformed and guests seem to walk away even more in love with the area than ever. I haven’t had the pleasure of going quite yet but it’s definitely on the to do list! Peruse their lineup here
French Bistro by Night
“Our favorite sandwich shop by day is now a French bistro by night! “I thought that putting the same effort of cooking into making sandwiches was going to fill my tank, but it just didn’t,” Chef Sean McGaughey said on the heels of his first week of dinner service at the newly reminted Troubadour Bread and Bistro. Jury is still out on the food, if you go, let me know what you think! More info
