Malinka European Mini Market is pleased to announce that we now carry delicious, award-winning German pates and sausages made by Schaller and Weber. Visit us at 484 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.
Malinka's selection of Schaller and Weber products includes weisswurst, weiners, gelbwurst, Braunschweiger liverwurst, teawurst, calves liver pate, chicken liver pate, pate with goose, pate with onions, and Schaller and Weber's very own Gold Medal pate, winner of its class at the International Exposition in Utrecht, Holland.
Young Ferdinand Schaller spent his early years working and honing his skills throughout Germany and the Alsace region, until he found himself apprenticing in Hamburg. From there he would set sail for America and meet Tony Weber, with whom he opened a butcher shop in New York City in 1937.
Today, Schaller & Weber remains a New York City institution with Ferdinand's grandson, Jeremy Schaller, at the helm. But while the times have changed, the techniques and craftsmanship remain the same, and the commitment to the recipes Ferdinand Schaller created has been globally recognized. In 2000, Schaller & Weber products entered 20 products in Welser Volksfest of Austria, and came home with 14 gold and six silver medals - a first for an American charcuterier.
The Lighthouse District's annual Movie in the Park on Saturday, September 16, a screening of the surf classic "North Shore," drew a wonderful crowd of people of all ages and had a great community atmosphere. A fun time was had by all! See the photos here.
We want to thank everyone who joined us for a movie night under the stars and helped make it such a good time. Thanks also to our stalwart volunteers who set up and took down the equipment and the 13 businesses along Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey who chipped in to sponsor the event and keep it free for the community. Please stop by and thank them if you have a chance.

The process is easy - just stop in anytime 10am-8pm Mon-Sat or 11am-5pm Sun, check in with one of our buyers, and we will inspect your shoes, determine a resale value, and you'll get paid up to 50% of that resale value. Payout will be determined by item demand and condition (i.e., payout will be more for items like new and in the box and lower if they are beat up or a less coveted style).
We particularly love Jordans, Dunks, AF1s, Airmax, Docs, and Yeezy.
Calling all golfers! InSight Eyewear offers Shamir Golf lenses. This is a Freeform lens designed to ensure that you experience your perfect golf game.
Unlike standard progressive lenses, the three vision zones in the lens are specifically tailored to the needs of golfers to maximize their viewing: the scorecard in your hand, the ball at your feet, and the green in the distance. (The secret is in the peripheral vision.) Shamir Golf provides sharp focus without distortion in these crucial areas.
Visit InSight Eyewear at 490 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey for more information.
Poppleton’s Interiors is offering 20% off all lighting, now through October 15, 2023. Shop our showroom to enhance your home with beautiful lamps, chandeliers, and more. Visit us at 299 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.

Epicenter Cycling invites you to bring in your old bike helmet now through September 30, 2023, and we'll give you $20 off a brand new one here. Epicenter has a wide range of helmets to choose from. Visit us at 230 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey and mention the special code at the bottom of this page to receive your discount. (Limit one per customer; no cash value.)
When it comes to keeping your noggin safe, it's important to wear a helmet designed specifically for the type of cycling you enjoy. For example, mountain biking options range from half dome styles to full face for optimum protection; road cycling helmets boast an aerodynamic, well-ventilated design.
Helmets should be replaced every 3-5 years, or immediately after a crash (whether you see cracks in it or not). Proper fit and regular helmet maintenance are also key to your safety as well.
