Can't stand the heat, so I got near the kitchen
5:00pm on a Sunday isn't the best time to head to Santa Cruz. Well, unless it's over 100� in your front yard, then the 62� fog will seem mighty appealing. What makes it even more appealing is the chance to grab dinner at Vasili's. The food here is fantastic ranging from generous Souvlaki to an incredible Veggie Mousaka. (Ok, probably won't find that on your next trip to Athens, but this IS Santa Cruz and you're not THAT far from the campus). The staff is warm, agile, and accomodating. Dinner is better (and pricier) than lunch, but both are well worth the trip. Lunch has a number of good cheap eats, but ends at 6pm. Oh, and two tips, they tend to be a little heavy handed with the oregano on the fries, so if you're not a fan of that, you may want to have them skip it. Also, come hungry.
