Playa, Mill Valley’s Popular Modern Mexican Restaurant, Recently Received a 2024 Michelin Bib Gourmand Accolade and Has Just Unveiled an Exciting New Menu!
In keeping with the adventurous spirit at Playa, General Manager, Manfred Mendez has designed a new cocktail program with stunning and colorful concoctions that complement Siegel’s spicy and earthy flavors. The Santa Madre combines two mezcals and sweet and spicy notes from pineapple syrup and ancho verde. Allspice adds a warm note to a Tepache Cocktail of mezcal and house-made tepache. The whimsically named Smokin’ Mirror is inspired by the classic Manhattan but offers a decidedly Mexican twist with Tequila, Mezcal and port.

Over the last eight years, MEF has received an average of more than $177,000 per year from the county. For the fiscal year that began in July, however, the county had budgeted only $100,000 for the organization. Lucan said the allocation was reduced because de la Rosa would be carrying some of the load. Nevertheless, Lucan said he considers MEF a “big success.”

Wreckless Strangers is a collective of six friends and musicians carrying the torch for San Francisco’s grand rock ‘n’ roll tradition. Their unique stew of “Bay Area Gumbo” melds the contemporary blues stylings of Bonnie Raitt and Boz Scaggs; the songwriting sensibilities of Sons of Champlin and Fleetwood Mac; the swashbuckling Americana of the Lost Planet Airmen and Peter Rowan; and the funk of Sly Stone and Tower of Power with a dash of Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane for flavor and unpredictability.
Read MoreMarin Voice From Ace Thelin, of Forest Knolls: Sadly, Rampant Homelessness a Sign That Capitalism Is Working as Intended
Capitalism is thriving because morality and common decency is absent from the policies imposed by the capitalist class. The way I see it, high demand (lots of people) and low supply (not enough available housing) will always create fierce competition and drive up the cost of rent and mortgage payments. When adequate housing is guaranteed, the rental market will crumble. People will no longer sign a contract in which half or a third of their income goes to rent because they will no longer have the fear of being homeless.

Read MoreThe Hiker’s Trail Map is Back! With Help From a Group of Dedicated Volunteers, Mill Valley History Society Installed a New & Improved Painted Mt. Tamalpais Hikers Trail Map
The Mill Valley Historical Society installed a new and improved map in the same location as its predecessor on November 15, along with updated historic signage telling its story. The old trail map, painted on redwood siding in 1946, had been protected for approximately 50 years hidden away under siding in its previous location at Clark’s Grocery. When the store was demolished for new development, MVHS procured the map and in 2018, after obtaining agreements from Mill Valley stakeholders, a restored trail map was installed on the wall of 34 Miller. It did not hold up well to weather in its new location, however, and a team of volunteers determined in summer 2024 that it wasn’t feasible to save the original map and replicating the original with new protection was our best choice.

At the other end of that Throckmorton Ave. block, there’s also no doubt that another relative newcomer, blockbuster hangout haven for a slightly different clientele is Angela’s Organic Ice Cream, the latest edition in a long line of fantastic ice cream shops in the 94941 (shout out to Baskin Robbins’ incredibly long run ‘til it closed in 2011.) In each case, the lines out the door say it all. Angela’s Organic Ice Cream was originally founded in Petaluma as Lala’s Creamery. Angela Garat and her son, Ignacio, purchased the business and recipes in 2017, and it’s been full speed ahead ever since. There is MUCH more to come, as you’ll read here.
