Lilify is beyond thrilled that Ad Astra's beautiful bread is back at the shop on Fridays! The talented team at Ad Astra Bread Co. is baking in Seaside, we are harvesting herbs here in our garden in New Monterey, and our exclusive Lilify Loaf will be available in the shop this Friday and in the Fridays to come.

To ensure that we have a loaf waiting for you, feel free to pre-purchase your loaf online by Thursday at midnight and we will hold it for you on Friday for pickup, 11am until closing, at our shop at 281 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.

The Lilify Loaf is sourdough bread with seasonal herbs harvested from our personal garden including (but not limited to) rosemary, sage, parsley, oregano, and thyme.

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.

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.

If you’re struggling to walk, run, lift, hike, sleep, or just do basic household chores due to your back, it’s possible to get relief and take back control through physical therapy and training.

Kadalyst Wellness and Physical Therapy is located at 191 Lighthouse Avenue, Suite B, in Monterey. For more information or to contact us, please visit our website or phone 831-531-7177.
