A perfect place to stop by for a walkthrough during the spring — come enjoy the gorgeous roses!

Old Sacramento is the riverfront historic district, with Gold Rush-era buildings, cobblestone streets, and horse-drawn carriages. It’s home to numerous museums, including the Sacramento History Museum and the state Railroad Museum, which offers excursion train rides. Make sure to stop by Evangeline's and peruse the costume floor and pick up some salt water taffy here.

Sutter's Fort was a 19th-century agricultural and trade colony in the Mexican Alta California province. Established in 1839, the site of the fort was originally part of a utopian colonial project called New Helvetia by its builder John Sutter, though construction of the fort proper would not begin until 1841. The fort is famous for its association with the Donner Party, the California gold rush, and the formation of the city of Sacramento, surrounding the fort.

You may not know that Sacramento has some of the best produce in the United States -- but everything is grown here! The Midtown Farmer's Market was voted the #1 Farmer's Market in California and 3rd best nationwide. If you're in town early, make sure to stop by Saturday morning.

Magpie is an excellent place to stop for a good glass of wine and an elevated meal -- without breaking the bank. This is one of Lizz's favorite places in town.

This is our local Chinese restaurant. Hot tip: Order the House Special Chow Mein Hong Kong Style.

A very cool dark speakeasy type bar tucked away in the Ice Blocks, perfect for a nice cocktail or whiskey drink. Bring cash as they're cash only!

One of our favorite bars -- we celebrated here the night we got engaged! Get a freezer martini and a caviar bump. If you come for dinner, be prepared to cook it yourself at the community grill in the middle of the restaurant. If you're lucky, you may catch a jazz singer crooning her heart out.

This is Ryan's top Mexican food recommendation -- he recommends the Quesabirria. Make sure you get the fried jalapeno salsa!
