There are some great places to eat in Sacramento. I personally tend towards the Mom & Pop, non-commericial restaurants and we sure do have some great ones! There is Plaza Hof Brau in Sac on Watt Ave/ El Camino Blvd. Great Sandwiches! For Breakfast try Pancake Circus on Broadway. The best burgers are from Squeeze Inn on Fruitridge, it's sure off the beaten past, but you'll never have burgers like these. For entertainment/ good food, try Max's Opera Cafe in the Market Place section of Arden Fair Mall. La Bou is a local cafe chain with excellent sandwiches/soup. On the upscale, one of the best restaurant's in Sac is Biba's. It's Northern Italian. Biba's is always rated as one the best in Sacramento. Well I could write more & let me know if you do want more specific's, because in Sac we sure do have quite a bit to pick from!
I've lived in Sac for 20+ years.
Couple of quirky places:
True love Cafe (go at night and bring your clove cigarettes)- 2406 J st.
Da Big Kahuna (HUGE burgers)- near K st, 1128 8th st.
Sunday Farmer's Market under the freeway-located under Hwy. 50 near 5th st. (organic produce and great people watching)
Flea Market-near Folsom Blvd./Watt Avenue(great book barn & people watching) weekends
Evangeline's (joke gifts & oddities)-Old Sac, 113 K st.
Beer's Books (quirky, good mix, moving to this new location end of Aug.) - 915 S st.
Lucky Cafe (breakfast) -1111 21st st.
Zelda's pizza (dark, deepdish) - 1415 21st st.
American River Raft Rentals (self guided, easy trip starts at Sunrise Bridge & ends at Goethe Park where shuttle picks you up)- (916) 635-6400
Merlino's Freeze- (a MUST, ask any local) - 3200 Folsom Blvd.
You won't go hungry in Sac
If you happen to be in Sacramento during NBA season, try to go see the Kings at the Arco Arena. They are a great team who almost beat the Los Angeles Lakers for the Western Championship in 2002. The Sacramento fans are great and VERY noisy! Here is a pic of my favorite team member, Mike Bibby
The Pony Express Statue marks the Western Terminus Site of this mail service. On 1860 the first rider left Sacramento to start mail on a 1966 mile run to St. Joseph, Missouri, the Eastern Terminus. There were 121 known riders and 119 relay stations along the trail.
They have great Mexican food to enjoy
from tortas (my fav) to tacos they have a wide selection to choose from
a restaurant/bakery/market they have most of what you are looking for wether it be ingredients for a special dish or cakes for special occasions Torta de carne azada It's good because well because it just is i've had this food from many different places but i have found that this is the best place for this
after almost 29 years of living in California... I finally went to the state capitol and looked around. It was interesting. a must see if you are doing to touristy thing. one pretty neat thing is they had some of the old offices set up and there were people dressed in period costumes and those people would tell the tourists about that specific room... like who what when where why and how. pretty cool.
Many train buffs go to Sacramento just to visit the California State Railroad Museum. Its extensive collection of locomotives, railroad cars, and related memorabilia probably makes it the best museum of its kind in North America. Visiting the museum is an excellent way to learn about a bygone era--when the railroad was king.
The museum is located at Old Sacramento. It is open even on Saturdays and Sundays. Adult admission fee is $6.
