If you haven&#8217;t tried this restaurant, I highly recommend it &#8211; Pacific Thai offers friendly service plus fresh, delicious food including first-rate Tom Kah (Coconut Milk) soup available with your choice of tofu, chicken, prawns, or mixed seafood. Note: the soup doesn&#8217;t have &#8220;Thai&#8221; in its title so it&#8217;s not discounted on Tuesdays, but it&#8217;s well worth the investment (and reasonably priced). Another bonus of this restaurant:\u00a0 you can see beautiful fruit carvings by employee Petcharee Tamawong; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/restaurant-in-san-jose\/santa-cruz-open-studios-fruit-photography-exhibit-carving-class-pumpkin-carving-contest\">read about her carvings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Location: 1319 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, (831) 420-1700<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a wine lover, you\u2019re in luck: On Tuesdays, the popular, well-stocked wine shop and wine bar <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vinocruz.com\/\">Vinocruz<\/a> offers two wines for $5 per glass from 4-6:30pm.
