"I wanted to create an environment
that people would be attracted to, to
come and eat, shop, drink, play. I wanted
there to be a big element of discovery
here," Aldridge said.
I think he nailed it. Here are a few
more not-to-be-missed attractions to ex-
plore at The Barlow:
n Zazu Kitchen and Farm, 6770
McKinley Street, #150. Owners Duskie
and John Estes have created an airy, in-
dustrial chic eatery with full bar where
you can get an exceptional line-up of
locally raised pork products from their
own Black Pig Meat Company among
other dishes. Don't miss the special
barbecued ribs, caramelized bacon pop-
corn, chicken wings, Cuban sandwich
and housemade gelato in flavors such
as rocky road and pumpkin made from
fresh local squash.
n Taylor Maid Farms, 6790 McKinley
Street #170. This popular Sonoma County
coffee roaster has a huge roasting area
as part of its set-up. Call for a free tour
The Community Market's produce department.
