Va de Vi in Walnut Creek, California

At Va de Vi, diners can eat in the dining room, at the "chef's counter" with front-row views into the kitchen, or on the deck, under a 350-year-old oak tree.

The oh-so-appropriate strains of Madonna's "Material Girl" float out of a shop. While you wait for a cappuccino, a pretty fashionista asks who designed your handbag.

That's downtown Walnut Creek, where North Main Street overflows with designer threads, deluxe consignment shops, and diverse eats.

Go to score gifts for friends or the perfect party frock for you, and enjoy a stroll and a glass of wine amid the preholiday bustle.
