I guess you could say we did the full Locals experience: a surf lesson at Locals Surf School…read morefollowed by a meal at Locals Collective, which shares ownership with, and is only a block away from, the surf school location at Beach 69th. Locals Collective is such a sweet l'il cafe. The vibe is relaxed and lovely, with friendly, helpful staff (especially the woman wearing the ramen cat shirt, whose name I didn't get, unfortunately). The menu is small, but includes some healthy options like the breakfast sammy (with two eggs, avocado, sprouts, tomato, Monterey Jack cheese, and spicy aioli on whole grain toast), acai bowls, wraps, overnight oats and that sort of thing. The breakfast sandwich wasn't very big -- or rather it was a normal size, well filled, but made with commercially standard-size sliced bread, not a hero, sub, or roll -- and was perhaps a touch spendy at $12. The Progeny inhaled the sandwich after snarfing down a sushi roll we'd brought -- and still wanted two large protein bars, after. (I guess surfing cultivates a good appetite.) He said he enjoyed it, though. My iced coffee was a touch weak, but serviceable. There's pleasant seating indoors and out, with a few folks working on laptops. There are quite a few dining options on this particular block, including burritos, pizza, ice cream, and a few full-service restaurants -- but in terms of aesthetics and overall look-feel, Locals Collective takes the win. Surf boards (I think soft tops only) are available for rent at Locals Collective, for $35 / 2 hours. Prices are a bit higher than at Breakwater Surf, which rents for a jaw droppingly low price of $5 an hour -- but Locals does offer additional amenities like changing rooms and a shower, which I'm prima-donna enough to think is worth it. You can also rent a wet suit, which you'll probably want if the air temp is anything cooler than 75F. Waves at Beach 68 are fairly small, but reportedly consistent. We'll be back for more, I'm sure.

From simple petite goat cheese rounds to a cranberry & pecan mixed one to a robust blue cheese and milder inbetween ones accompanied by several house cured and smoked fishes...truly heavenly. A smoked sea bass topped with a black flakey salt was incredible. The lox was not at all fishy and seasoned just enough. For our variety of entrees, ordered the new tagliatelle pasta creation: perfect handmade pasta cooked al dente ribbons in a super light cream sauce laced with nicely toasted pecans fried sage leaves, an amazing combo of flavors. The crispy pan fried perch encrusted in crunchy buttery pecans was a very good balance of sweet and savory and the accompanied mashed sweet potatoes and sautéed haricoverts were a nice touch. The porcini encrusted sea bass was perfectly cooked however we were unanimous that it needed a different side other than the brown rice it was laid ontop of...suggested possibly a creamy cheesey polenta instead. The handmade fluffy gnocchi with a luscious creamy vodka sauce I could eat my weight worth. To round it all out the mac & cheese spring rolls were both hearty and light at the same time plus quite addicting as well.
