Thanks!
Thank you so very much for posting this. I will be in Santa Barbara in two weeks!
It's a review of, maybe 24-36 hours of SB, sort of. If one has different tastes....
There's no listing of where to stay. It's not cheap, but the Canary Hotel is a great place to stay, just off of State St.
There are a ton of great dining place on/near State St. Don't limit yourself to the ones listed.
