Gonna be in Sacramento from Sat to Thurs by myself. What do you recommend to do and see? good places to eat? how is the drive to SF from sacramento?

thanks guys

 

Hit up the Capital, Old Sacramento, and check out the River parks. That's what I did when I was there.

 

weather is freaking perfect today! i'm gonna head to SF for the Giant's game in like 3 hours though h:. The drive to SF will take you between 1.5-2 hrs not that bad.

happy hour locations - cowtowneats.com. good place to grub is check yelp and look for places downtown sacramento, or if you tell me what you want to eat i can recommend some places. my go-to place is burgers and brews on R and 15.

old sacramento, various malls, go karts, golf courses, theres a Kings pre-season game tonight you can find cheap tickets for. folsom has a thursday night market if you wanna drive out like 25 mins. plenty of playoff baseball on today so you can find a bar and watch the games.

 

I stick to my little dirtball corner of it whenever I'm home.

 

Thanks. I was thinking of just hitting up pubs for dinner since im rolling by myself and probably fast food joints that we dont have in nyc like in-n-out, etc. Any places you can recommend downtown or maybe a few minutes drive? How are the mexican joints out there?

 

Cornerstone for Breakfast, 1930 K St

Rubicon for microbrewed goodness, decent bar food too, know the brewmaster, has a an old POS BMW sedan, met him doing a vintage car rally.

El Novillero is best mexican food in town

In Old Sacramento, train museum is cool, if you are into that sort of stuff, Fanny Anne's is a touristy bar down there, The Firehouse is a nice place for lunch down there, Laughs Unlimited, comedy bar in Old Sac. Towe Car Museum near Old Sac, Front St near L or Capitol, something like that, a few blocks south of Old Sac.

State Capitol is an impressive building, near 10th and Capitol, Sutter's Fort is an 1850's era structure 26th and Capitol that is a State Park.

I am partial to Carl's Jr for fast food.

There is a farmer's market on Saturday mornings under the freeway at X St that is pretty kickass. On the way from SF to Sacto on I-80 there is a killer fruit market at Dixon, on right side of I-80.

 

ohhh just saw you said saturday to thursday. where are you staying at, that way i can recommend places by you. but as for fast food joints in-n-out, not sure if you have sonics where you live. habit burger, carls jr (since most are hardees), jimboys. ohhh you need to go to a adalbertos to get a california burrito and carne asada fries. besides SD, sacramento is the next best spot for those items.

if you are going to sf i say go on saturday, weather is supposed to be really nice this weekend in sacramento and the bay.

the farmers market tobra is talking about is actually on sunday. i live like 2 blocks from it, but its dope.

for barbs/pubs to hang out downtown i would say shady ladys saloon, r15, de vires pub, streets of london are all good choices. each have a different vibe though.

shoot me a PM and let me know where you are staying and want to see/go then i can recommend some spots. i'll be helping my cousin paint her house fri-sat and out of town mon-weds or else i would try and meet you up somewhere.

h: that weekend i'll be in san diego for a bachelor's party. i'll see if i can check stuff that might be happening that weekend. it would have actually been perfect this past weekend as i realized it was second saturday art walk :-/
