Of Note: Eat, Drink And Be Bear-y

As we bridge the gap between late summer heat and sweater weather, October offers a multitude of fun dining and travel experiences around the Bay. This month, Napa has a new must-visit boutique inn; the amazing Hatch chiles of New Mexico take the spotlight in Calistoga; and 52 artsy bears are on view in Los Altos. Hurry before the real bears and the Bay Area hibernate for the winter.
Stroll around downtown Los Altos and discover all 52 fiberglass bears decorated by local artists — like the “Crazy Rich Bear” presented by the city’s legendary restaurant Chef Chu’s — then bring one home by bidding on a bear. Proceeds from the auction, which closes on October 9 with the Hibernation is Over party, benefit the artists as well as charities selected by the Rotary Club of Los Altos.
