In our own garden, and throughout the peninsula, it's thrilling to observe the transitioning of the seasons. As spring arrives, and blooms are abundant, we at Lilify love to use our ceramic vases. They come in varying sizes, colors, and pattern.

Handmade in California by Alex Marshall, these are an absolutely chic way to display your favorite flowers. Sleek and stunning, our cylindrical vases, sold individually and pictured here, are available online and in the shop at 281 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.

Pixels Graphic Design is now readily available at the touch of a button. The past year required that we do business entirely online and we believe this adjustment to be a good thing. We have updated our processes and invested in technology that allows instant contact with you, our customers. Now when you visit our website, you can speak or chat with us. We can share files and discuss your project remotely and conveniently.

We would like to continue to evolve and improve communications, so that it's easier and more timely for our customers, than we've been able to offer in the previous year. Go to www.pixelsmonterey.com and click on the chat box in the lower right of your screen. We encourage you to visit our site and give it a try! You may ask the assistant about common questions or request a chat or call. In moments, a Pixels Team member will be with you to help. We are available 9am-5pm, Monday through Friday (we break for lunch 12pm-1pm), but of course you may still give us a call during those hours or email anytime.

Pixels has taken our reputation for personal service and quality to the next level. Our work has always been via computer and now our business is too. The year is 2021. Welcome to the future!

Attention, chocolate lovers! Lilify proudly carries Mast chocolate bars - small batch, certified organic bean-to-bar chocolates handmade in New York.

A variety of 1 ounce mini-bars - including dark chocolate, milk chocolate, almond butter chocolate, coffee chocolate, and tea chocolate - are now available in-store and on our website.

Pearl Hour is proud to carry Uncle Nearest 1856 Premium Aged Whiskey and Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey. Spice, maple, fruity and grassy, these are blends of premium aged whiskies between 8-14 years. Visit us at 214 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey and try it.

In the traditionally cloistered male and white world of whiskey, Uncle Nearest is a brand that is proudly Black-owned and operated, rooted in the history of long-overlooked Black innovation in the beverage space, and, by its very existence, a refutation of the old narratives that white-washed the American whiskey industry.

Uncle Nearest is the legacy of the Godfather of Tennessee Whiskey, Nearest Green. Each small batch comes from barrels chosen by the founders and each blend is curated by a fifth generation Green descendant, Master Blender Victoria Eady Butler.

Butler is a descendant of Nathan “Nearest” Green, the man who mentored Jack Daniel in the craft of whiskey distilling. Green, who was enslaved until 1865, was a highly skilled whiskey-maker and an indispensable advisor and distiller for Jack Daniel’s.

Pearl Hour invites you to join us on Tuesday, March 2 at 7pm for a four-course tasting experience by Pearl Hour and Chef Alec Moreno. Fee is $85 per person and seating is limited - please reserve your spot online. Ages 21 and over only.

Pearl Hour has recently acquired some incredibly luscious liquids from Japan. These bottles represent our continued dedication to partner with producers who care about their craft. We will highlight these products in cocktails served alongside beautifully prepared little bites by Chef Moreno while you sit under the stars by the fire in our secret garden patio. View the menu here.

Pearl Hour is located at 214 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.

The City of Monterey offers a parking program which allows Monterey residents, displaying the proper decal permit, a maximum of two hours of free parking, per day, per parking facility. The decals are honored in the Cannery Row Garage (at Foam & Prescott), Downtown East and West Garage (at Franklin & Tyler), and the Waterfront Attendant Lot (at Washington & Del Monte).

A resident parking permit decal can now be obtained online here. You'll need to upload a picture ID, current vehicle registration, and proof of residency (current utility bill, property tax bill, or rental agreement). All active military personnel and their immediate family are also eligible for this program.

There is an annual $20 administrative charge for each decal permit, and the permit is valid for 12 months from the date of issue.
