The folks at the ALS Therapy Development Institute believe that Drug Discovery Is what will end ALS.

The Experience, Richmond: Sailing Goat Restaurant Day Trip
The Experience:
Want to get away from it all?
It’s always fun to watch first timers as they descend the hill to Point San Pablo Harbor past the goats to the Sailing Goat Restaurant on the dock. Surprise, bewilderment, glee, gasping, “I had no idea this was here!”
Huge outdoor sculptures greet you as you park your car and then a bit of serenity envelopes you as you sit down for lunch.
Dive into the Classic Fish & Chips first. Made with the local fish of the day, served with French fries and tartar sauce (they have a dedicated fryer). The breading is light and the fish moist. And the fries of course, top it off.
If you are more in the breakfast mode, the Summer Frittata is a fantastic Brunch treat with summer squash, corn, potatoes and Manchego cheese, served with a mixed green salad. Many more options with lots of gluten-free choices.
It’s peaceful looking out over the water and walking down through the marina checking out the vibrantly painted houseboats. By the time you leave, you feel like you have been in a different world, far away from your usual day
Weekend hours: Fri, 11:30am – 8:30pm; Sat/Sun, 11am – 8pm — Brunch Sat/Sun, 11am-4pm (Brunch & Full Menus) and Full Menu 4-8:30pm.
What to expect:
On the water at Pt San Pablo Harbor, a bayside escape to nourish the body and feed the soul awaits. Down at the harbor, you’ll relax with wonderful vistas and the gentle lapping of water. Items from the sea and land and gardens guide the menu. Pizza is baked outside in a wood-fired pizza oven. And, they are serving up regional small batch craft beer and wines.
There are pathways along the water and houseboats, hiking paths up the hill with fantastic views. So many options for you, your family and friends when you visit the Sailing Goat!

The Experience, Alameda: Mosley’s Cafe + Trail Walk
The Experience:
The morning that turned into a treat!
You’ve been in this situation. You are on deadline plus, you have to deliver something somewhere and you have to walk the dog. I experienced it yesterday morning. Strapped by time, I threw the dog in the car along with SF on the Bay’s Alameda Trail Guides and drove to Mosley’s Café at the end of Grand Ave near the boat ramp – your go-to Café on the water.
Once I gave owner Scott Mosley the maps, I drooled over the freshly baked pastries on display, but was tight for time. I asked him how far I can walk on the trail heading towards Webster St. He thought it is now open all the way to Alameda Point. With a husky in tow, I have to get mileage in if I want to work in peace the rest of the day.
Got the dog and went trekking, promising I would be back soon to relax with a coffee & one of those great homemade pastries with Summer.
What a great walk along the shore of the Alameda/Oakland Estuary with water views, parks, natural habitat. We only did 1.5 mi out to catch a fun view and audible revelry (!) of the Youth Sailing Club out in front of Encinal Yacht Club on the water. Walking here was a completely different experience of Alameda – from that shoreline. When I go back, I will definitely have one of Mosley’s pastries or focaccia. They have made focaccia with strawberries, blueberries and goat cheese, as well as with sausage, cheddar cheese and chives. Yum!
On my list for my next trek.
Join the Café crew in the Grand Marina for a peaceful morning on the dock with Seven Seas organic coffee, freshly baked homemade pastries, grilled cheese sandwiches and more. Local beer and wine also for that late lunch.
Plus, they can’t wait to meet you!
