A Little History and a Lot of Jazz

Escape for dinner and live jazz at Panama Hotel Restaurant & Inn, a 101-year-old bed and breakfast in Gerstle Park.

Whether you're a stay-at-home-mom, working part time, or working full time out of the house and still juggling the demands of mommyhood, every woman needs a break. With that idea in mind, we've begun running what will be a new weekly feature dubbed "The Great Escape." Best part: You don't have to go far to get far away from it all. Every one of these adventures is right here in San Rafael!

Here's one idea:

Go to the Panama Hotel Restaurant & Inn for a little history and a lot of jazz. Built in 1910, the bed and breakfast is nestled in the Gerstle Park neighborhood and originally catered to travellers at the nearby train depot. There's a great restaurant (they even allow pets to dine with you if you sit outside) and live jazz and blues every Tuesday, Thursday and alternating Wednesday nights.

It would be nice if the comments section had "Thumbs up / Thumbs down" like the PressRead More Democrat.

We have been to Pet Emergency a few times with various animals over the years, and they areRead More absolutely FANTASTIC! Top quality medical care, and a very caring and compassionate staff. I can't say that I look forward to going there (sick pets are always difficult), but I am sure glad they are here for us when we need them!
