Need a Place to Park Your Husband?

While you shop Carmel’s amazing boutiques and galleries, that is?

A.W. Shucks, a great little oyster bar on Ocean Ave. at San Carlos, has everything he needs: a bountiful selection of beer, appetizers, seafood… and (do I really need to say this?) three televisions tuned into the latest sporting events.

Because, let’s face it, vacations can be stressful, and even the most loving couple needs time apart. This is the perfect arrangement: you go hunting and gathering to your heart’s content – while he relaxes in a cozy man cave with a nautical theme.

Of course you can join him just in time for the last quarter, the last round, the bottom of the ninth… whatever.  Because after a hard afternoon of shopping, you might need some sustenance yourself. Perhaps a steamed artichoke with their special spicy Bloody Mary?

Or, if you’re feeling adventurous… how ’bout a tequila-lime oyster shooter?
