Is kava an acquired taste that I'm too plebeian to understand? I gave this place a visit recently…read moreand did not find their drinks appealing at all. The Cloudbreaker immediately met my taste buds with bitterness and then left my tongue completely numb for several minutes. Perhaps those sensations would have paid off if they were followed by a calming or THC-like effect, but I didn't experience any change in mental state. The comfortable atmosphere saves this establishment from 1 star. Dim lights, leather couches, chill music, and colorful tiki wall art make for a decent study spot or date night. However, if you're hanging out at a business, you gotta support it, and to support it, you gotta buy something -- I can't see myself buying anything kava-related with any ounce of enjoyment. Surely there must be some variation of a kava drink that tastes delightful. I don't want to spend any more money finding out though.

She's a great listener and did exactly as I showed her as far dmsu styling and color. The salon itself emeas very clean and well decorated/organized.

With renting the place out, there's also a large kitchen with fridge, stoves and other things that are available (just as long as things are kept clean and put back). Language classes are taught here by fluent speakers/teachers and membership with the I house will allow you to take any class you like (dance classes included too along with other event). There's storytelling for younger children each month and gathers for others weekly. Many other events happen weekly, just check on their website to see what's available and interests you :] Every year, the International House puts on the International Festival and there are many activities and performances. It's clear that everyone there is very passionate about their work and helping people out. Just come and check this place you, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. This place is just run by a few people so they can be stretched pretty thin. Don't hesitate to leave message and they'll get back to you as soon as they can. There are many volunteer opportunities here too! Final Thoughts: Very nice place to study with comfy chairs :]

Just go to the Student Community Center and BAM it will be right in front of you as you walk in. This office opened in 1990, but basically it is a cultural center that celebrates various events such as Black Family Week and Mixed Heritage Week. Their major events they do annually would be the Pow Wow and Asian Pacific Leadership Retreat (APLR). The Cross Cultural Center has a very welcoming atmosphere and they do have study rooms! They are generally full, but some rooms are for share anyways. They are always looking for volunteers, so definitely check them out!

Goodness, where to start. I grew up in Stonegate, I've lived here almost my whole life and…read morestonegate has been an integral part of my development, growing up years, and family traditions. We attended almost every Fourth of July picnic. I participated in tennis camp and my sisters sailing camp. Stonegate was and is an essential part of our daily life and tradition. The gym was recently renovated and has tons of beautiful equipment. 4 stationary bikes, a high quality stair master, rowing machine, 3 treadmills, and a weight room. It gets the busiest in the mornings and right after work on the weekdays. The lake is beautiful when the sun starts to set and makes for a beautiful picnic spot. There are 6 tennis courts that sometimes require a reservation (definitely reserve during the summer if you want to play). There's food all table, ping pong table, and pool table. I will say that the pool table and room is a bit lacking. The table is slanted and last time I tried to play there was only one cue with a tip (all the rest are missing them). The pools are great. One baby pool, one kids pool, and a lap pool. The changing rooms and bathrooms have showers and lockers and the space near the office can be rented for events! We love stonegate!

It's cool that they're run by volunteers and that supposedly all proceeds go to the Davis Library,…read morebut what threw me off was how they have a whole section dedicated to Zionism. It was the last thing I expected to see in cute ole Downtown Davis. I'd say come to Sac if you're looking for bookstores that won't make you feel weird entering. Edit: To clarify, I found it pretty disappointing that there was an entire shelf dedicated to European history, and another shelf generalized as "world history". Within the "world history" shelf, I saw a row of books specifically about Israel and Zionism, albeit not labeled as such. The only book with Palestine in the title was on display, but on the back cover it specified that it recounts the "experiences of Zionist women settling in Palestine", and not indigenous Palestinians. I scanned the shelf and didn't see a single book about Palestine, despite a fair number on Israel. Given how charged this topic is with the ongoing genocide in Gaza, I felt uncomfortable as it seemed that the bookstore had taken an intentional stance by not providing, at the very least, accounts of both sides of the matter.
