Seizing Summer : Your local summer bucket list ! by Miriam Ndao
Common interests bind communities together , allowing us to find connections within one another . We share so much in common , and there is one crucial commonality that has allowed for human development : the thirst for exploration !
With the warming weather , the perfect time for exploration is approaching … summer ! With school out and sunny days , summer is the ideal time to step out of your comfort zone . Finding new activities , recreational interests , and fun places can be seen as burdensome or requiring one to travel to far places , when , in reality , these gems are right in your own backyard . Here is your guide to taking advantage of all of your local attractions and making the most out of your summer !
Gilroy and Morgan Hill are the perfect places to find fun activities to occupy your time . Morgan Hill has a plethora of drink and dessert places that I have enjoyed hanging out with friends — TeaLite for boba , Snowee for ice cream and boba , YesYogurt and Frozen Treats , Baskin Robbins , and many more .
In Gilroy , Neveria Alaska Ice Cream , Cold Stone Creamery , and Tristan ’ s Cookies & Cream are delightful spots to enjoy a sweet treat ! Additionally , there are a few new spots that are opening up in Gilroy that are definitely worth a visit : Savvy ’ s Downtown Sweets is the perfect place for every sweet treat that you can think of , and Camino Coffee for a cozy setting and a refreshing drink . These are casual and perfect for a refreshing treat on a hot summer day !
On the other hand , if you ’ re looking for something more filling , let ' s dive into downtown Gilroy and Morgan Hill ’ s diverse food options in the heart of the towns . From Mediterranean cuisine to seafood , Gilroy has a platter of restaurants to choose from : Mama Mia ’ s for a Mediterranean assortment , Old City Hall Restaurant for a classic city experience , Jellyfish Seafood Bar for coastal platters , Westside Grill for a laid-back meal with delicious menu specials , OD ’ s Kitchen for all-American choices , Black Bear Diner for breakfast cuisine , and Pineapple Village for Southeast Asian dining options .
