This great neon sign looks like the ''COOL '' 50's
by Waalewiener
Yes just like that ,the neon signs looked so
'' Cool '' in the 50's 60's.
Yes I am old enough to remember ,I did not live in North America then but I sure watched the old movies and commercials in our old Movie Theaters in the Netherlands . This '' Landmark '' Tower Theatre & the Tower Cafe was a lot of fun to see .
And the gardens around it ,fantastic.
There's nothing quite like a fall day ..
by va8eha
spent in Apple Hill - wandering the apple orchards, sampling local produce (apples, pears, pies, cider, etc.), wine tasting, taking photos ... I once came home with more produce than I usually buy in a visit to the grocery store - fresh, too. During the peak of fall, you can park and ride a bus that goes between all the orchards - there're about 25 of them. It's about a 40 minute drive from Sacramento, and well worth the trip. If you have kids, they'll love it! There's miniature corn mazes, horse rides ..
Best Mexican Food in Town
by Zandra about Ernesto's
Ernesto's was just around the corner from my boyfriend's apartment...so we went there quite often. If you like Mexican food, this is the right place!!! The food's excellent (huge portions) and so is the service. I've tried several of the dishes and everything was good, but my absolute favorite is the 'Carne Asada' - marinated top sirloin thinly sliced, grilled with fresh onions and spices. Served with guacamole, pico de gallo and hot homemade flour tortillas. Also the Fajitas are delicious..., and even if you normally don't like Tequila, you ought to give the frozen strawberry Margarita a try!!!
Check out Ernesto's website for the complete menu!!!
I have a million favorite...
by politigal
I have a million favorite restaurants, one of which I just had lunch at, so I decided to add it to my list. Tower Cafe has wonderful 'world cuisine'. I had the jerk chicken, which is fairly authentic I thought, having had it in Belize. My hubby had fish and chips, but you get your choice of fish, which I think is really cool: salmon or traditional cod. Parker (my son) had bread which he tore to little shreads and scattered about the floor.
Wonderful patio and wide ranging cuisine. I like to go here with a group of people becasue no matter what their tastes, they will something to satiate them on the menu at Tower. Nice wine selectio, terrific beer selection. Go for lunch or dinner or brunch on the weekends. I'd have to say the jerk chicken....SO GOOD!! But they also have an incredible Chinese chicken salad (now I don't know if this is authentic, being that I didn't have any salads that I can recall while in China lol!!)
