Plato's Closet invites you to join us on Friday, November 27, for our Black Friday Sale! For one day only, everything on the floor will be 50% off. Visit us at 402 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.
Locally owned and operated, Plato's Closet buys and sells gently used teen and young adult clothing and accessories.
The Cat's Meow moving sale continues at 601 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey. As the days have shortened and we officially start our move to our new home, we have modified our hours for the rest of our stay here in Monterey.
New hours: Tue-Fri, 12pm-5pm; Sat, 11am-6pm; Sun, 1pm-6pm. Closed on Mondays.
We won't be on Lighthouse Avenue for much longer, so be sure to come by and catch a great deal on vintage clothing, accessories, home decor, and more before we make our way across the Bay. That's right, cats and kittens, we've found a new location at 104 Lincoln Street in Santa Cruz!
For now, we still have a full store here in Monterey and will continue to be open six days a week until the move is complete.

Are you feeling a bit nostalgic for Halloweens of yore? Well, we are, too. The Lighthouse District's web team is going to miss photographing all your kids this year, since the Children's Trick-or-Treat on Lighthouse has been cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
But we have photos from past years, featuring a lot of adorable children, whimsical families, and incredibly clever costumes! Have fun looking at our photo albums featured below.
Together we'll dream of trick-or-treat events in the future. In the meantime, stay safe out there, everyone.
Folks, we have good news and bad news. Bad news first: everybody's favorite late-night nacho spot, Nacho Bizness, has left Lighthouse Avenue in New Monterey. The good news is that it's moved nearby, to 470 Alvarado Street in Downtown Old Monterey!
Your pals at Nacho Bizness, the little hole-in-the-wall-that-could, now have a big, fun, newly redecorated restaurant where they're slinging piping hot 'chos and burritos for take-out. They've still got great vegan and gluten-free options for everyone and all their take-out packaging is green certified.
To those of you who have been craving nacho awesomeness ever since Nacho Bizness closed for remodeling in December 2019, we encourage you to pay them a visit on Alvarado Street, say hello, and support a locally-owned small business that's opening a new chapter in their story.

We are sad to report that Steve Smith, a much-beloved long-time employee of Carpets & Floors on Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey, has sustained a serious brain injury and is in serious condition in the hospital. He is the sole provider for his four young children and wife, and may not be able to work for quite some time.
His friends attest to the fact that Steve has always been a person who tries to help other people in need. You may have met him outside Carpets & Floors during the Lighthouse District Children's Trick-or-Treat - he always has kindness and a smile for all the kids who stop by. His friends have set up a GoFundMe campaign to try and help him and his family financially. If you are able at this time, please consider making a donation.

People often wait way too long to get their back evaluated. If you’re having back issues, it’s been 6 weeks, and it’s getting worse despite your best efforts, it’s time to get help. Kadalyst Wellness and Physical Therapy, founded by Dr. Nathan Kadlecek, licensed physical therapist, invites you to contact us.
We'll focus on a few things: figuring out way to manage flare-ups; focusing on strength and conditioning (stamina); and addressing unhelpful and self-limiting beliefs that are holding you back.
