If she's a foodie, then plan to go to one or more of the farmer's markets for amazing local produce, plants, and prepared foods.

Saturday is the big day, with the fisherman's market starting at about 6 am (or when the boats get in) at the marina and continues till about 10...althought the best will be gone in the first few hours, as the local Asian community will be there en-mass to buy fresh spot prawns, rock and spider crab, mussels, and whatever fish are in season right off the boats.

Saturday's also the the day for the main downtown farmer's market running 8:30am - 12:30 pm in the parking lot at Santa Barbara Street & Cota Street, typically with 40-60 vendors.


Tuesday evening's Old Town farmer's market is also very good, where they close off the 500 & 600 block of State Street for vendors. I'm not sure whether they'd be on summer (4-7:30 pm) or winter (3-6:30 pm) hours.
