People rave about going to the scenic lookouts , and those are great, but there's no better collection of restaurants in Monterey than Cannery row. Check out The Sardine Factory or The Chart House.

John Steinbeck famously described this stretch of former sardine factories as “a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream.” (From Aerial America) Read more
