A Ranking of Snack Shack Eats at the Arcata Ball Park
Trips to the concessions stand are part of the baseball experience — central to it, for some of us. At the Arcata Ball Park, the tab is surprisingly inexpensive, with food items topping out at $9, a pittance compared to big stadiums. This leaves you with a little extra to earn a "Tip, tip, hooray!" from the staff. (They're too busy to dwell on a missed tip, but trust that everyone behind you will notice the silence.) We've also got a strong lineup on the whiteboard menu. Pro tip: Extra cheese — nacho or shredded — on the side or atop whatever you're having is available for a small charge. As for other customizations, concessions manager Genie Dickinson says, "You talk to one of us and we will make it happen." Here are our top picks for dining around the diamond.

What's Good: A Dipped Cone to Save the Day
Dipped soft serve cones saved my marriage. When, at the age of 28, having been a licensed driver for more than a decade, I needed to learn stick shift, it was my husband who put his head in the lion's mouth. We practiced every day on backroads and in empty parking lots in upstate New York, testing the limits of his patience and my frustrated rage, both of which proved more or less boundless. It was the first true test of our fledgling marital bond. Wisely, he ended each day's lesson by pulling into the Red Rooster Drive-in and ordering us a pair of dipped cones. Would we still be together if they only had sprinkles? I can't say.

The Kitchen at the Heart of the Eureka Woman's Club
Built nearly flush against the sidewalk at 1531 J St., the Eureka Woman's Club sits on what Second Vice President Murline Georgeson describes as "a postage stamp-sized lot." The ladies who paid her late father-in-law architect Franklin Georgeson to design and build the Craftsman-style hall from old growth redwood in 1916 were not interested in wasting space. While the lot they'd purchased awaited construction, they leased it for a farmer to graze his cow for $1.50 per month. Raising money has since grown more challenging.

Witness Coffee Roasters is Where it's Supposed to Be
On Saturday, May 3, the line at Witness Coffee Roasters (734 Fifth St., Eureka) went back to the door emblazoned with the words, "You're exactly where you're supposed to be." It was also mostly comprised of people with homemade signs in hand. "No Kings," one reads. Located across from the Humboldt County Courthouse, the staff has grown accustomed to the rush of customers that accompany the big protests against the Trump administration and its policies since the rallies started weeks after the café's opening in March.
