Happy Friday!
Happy Friday! I had people guess what airport we landed in with a photo of this awesome installation I shared on twitter and people guessed right, pretty quickly. Do you have an idea? If you do know, do you have tips for the area?
Have a great weekend!

Sacramento! If you love ice cream like I do, you'll love Vic's in Land Park. And Ettore's off of Howe makes the best scones in the world and it's such a fun place for lunch. East Sac (on H St?) has a great called Selland's market with yummies to grab for a picnic. It's super fun to rent tubes and float down the river, or be more adventurous and go up to Coloma to go river rafting. And Tahoe is my favorite place in the whole world. It's about a 2 hour drive. Have a blast!
Have a great time!
You must try Big Spoon frozen yogurt on J St - delicious!
Walking the American River Parkway, floating the American River, kayaking Lake Natoma or catching a Rivercats Game are great ways to spend an afternoon.
Cheap (but great) Eats - Petra, El Palmar, Burgers and Brew, Ink
There's also some great wine tasting east of Sac in Amador County.
So fun! Hope you have great time...wishing I were there!
sacto!
my husband and i went to school in chico about an hour and a half north. if you get a chance to pop up there it's a lovely, funky, artistic little town.
hey! I'm in town too! check out the grange for sure. And downtown is always a blast for second saturday. xo.
If you're still here tonight (Saturday), you must enjoy Second Saturday Art Walk all around midtown and downtown Sacramento. Thousands of people, street entertainment, art showings -free! It typically starts around 4pm -
45 minutes or so away http://www.nuttreeusa.com/#/Hompage/ -- cooler than cool ;)
Hello Sacramento : ]
The Naked Lounge is a coffee shop in midtown that everyone I know absolutely adores. I highly recommend the "Bowl of Soul", it's a chamomile latte that is divine.
And you're just in time for Second Sat, always an interesting night in midtown : ]
You can venture into Shenandoah for tons of free wine tasting, head to Placerville to explore historic Main Street or head to South Lake Tahoe ~Natalie
Other fun places Masullo Pizza http://www.masullopizza.com/,
Pangea Has great beer and it's across the street from a local ice cream shop.

Old Sacramento is also a fun place to walk around.
Have a good trip.
Just moved from Sacramento area, love that airport, if you like a good burger: The Squeeze Inn
Sacramento: my favorite airport to fly into :) I always like to eat on the patio at the Tower Cafe off Broadway and at Gunther's Ice Cream on Franklin. Enjoy your trip!
Sacramento! I just graduated from the University of California in Davis, just 20 minutes outside of Sac. Check out the Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings and have a burger at Burgers & Brew in Davis :) Have a great trip!
I think I'm too late. But for next time....
For eats I would go to Ettore's, Gunther's Ice Cream, and Silva's Sheldon Inn!
OMG! That is so cool. Love the photo and very tumblr worthy!
I know that airport well. Sacramento! I fly into Sac anytime I fly home from LA. :)
I wish I would have seen this earlier! I have lived in Sacramento all my life except for a few years in college. But, it sounds like you got some great tips from other readers! Hope you enjoyed you trip!
Yay, Sacramento, my home town! The suitcase installation is called "Samson" and it's by artist Brian Goggin (in case anyone was curious).
My favorite places to eat are the Pheasant Club in West Sacramento (I dream of those garlic steak sandwiches) and The Virgin Sturgeon, which is right on the river.
Also, the Crocker Art museum just expanded recently and it's phenomenal in there.
