OMG…I lived in Humboldt County for about 2 years and I absolutely LOVE Arcata/Eureka! My favorite thing about this place is all the AMAZING resaurants and hippie-owned stores…some of my favie restaurants are Arcata Pizza and Deli, Wildberries Co-op, Tomo Sushi, Bon Boniere Ice Cream (maple nut!!!!), Organically Delicious and Kyoto Sushi. The Eureka Co-op also has THE BEST sandwiches!
Arcata also has it’s own rules pretty much…there are always festivals and everybody is really friendly. It’s like its own little world….one of the most unique places you could ever go.
