I know a girl who moved to Eureka to farm marijuana. Any recommendations on any good places to eat or cool places to go in the cultural hotbed that is Eureka?

MY ANSWER:

I haven’t spent a lot of time there in the last 30 years, but there’s a good Vietnamese restaurant down by the co-op in Eureka. Mariscos is a great Mexican seafood place, I think they moved to the lovely town of Fields Landing. Watch your back. Mostly, I would go hiking. Go to Trinidad —that part of the coast. Eat at Larrupin’s. Get a tattoo at Sailor’s Grave. Buy some records from The Works. Check out the bird sanctuary at the foot of G st in Arcata. Stay in at night! The dead live!
