Very romantic place - I loved visiting here with my pig pig - perfect for a hot date night…read more Old Sacramento is good fun - it is different from the typical McDonald's, Walmart, Costco cities that are carbon copied now everywhere with cookie clone houses. Old trees, charm, all the houses nearby are different - my Grandma - a fairly well off city girl from Europe approved - and I can see why. Coming to the USA with nothing but two suitcases and 3 kids she quickly worked her way up to the Land Park neighborhood. A stunning house with 4 car garage, metal roof and pool. She loved old Sacramento and looked down on village or town or junky places. She too good for that. Piggy was too good for that. The romantic river once had the pirate boat shows - pig pig loved them. The old bridge - I love driving over that. Come here stretch your legs - now is the perfect time before it heats up for the summer.

I like to walk here and listen to the water and watch the boats move through the river. I also love the views of the Tower Bridge off in the distance. Parking can be a headache, but there are some good seafood spots and you could even do a river cruise. There's just something about hanging out near the water that feels grounding and peaceful and I always enjoy my walks and times in this area.

Whether you're walking, biking, or just driving across, the golden lift bridge stands out beautifully against the skyline, especially at sunset when the colors reflect off the Sacramento River. It's a perfect spot for photos, with great views of the city, the river, and Old Sacramento. The walkway is pedestrian-friendly, and if you're lucky, you might even catch it lifting for a boat to pass through. It connects Downtown to West Sacramento seamlessly and is a must-see for both locals and visitors. If you're in the area, take a stroll across and enjoy the scenery. It's a simple but classic Sacramento experience.

Is there anything more Sacramento than this golden, iconic bridge? I feel like everyone knows…read moreexactly where you are when you see this bridge. I was driving over it the other day and it reminds me of going to Old Sac as a teenager, just hanging out with friends and walking across the bridge. It goes over the Sacramento River and just celebrated its 90th anniversary a few months ago. It is a nice little walk if you ever get a chance to do it and quintessentially Sacramento.

REVIEWER #1 Okay, so…read morewhen I hear a Taco Festival I am expecting the BEST well known Taco Trucks to be there...Right? Well I was so wrong! ARGH. Good thing I didn't make this only the only event to attend on a lovely Saturday, OH BOY! I would have been disappointed. I walked in around 12PM and it was a good amount of people. They had about 10 booths and it was along the streets of Del Paso Blvd which they had most of the areas blocked off. It cost $10 to get in, plus you had to pay for the food and drinks. I was kind of excited to see what tacos trucks they would have there to represent the festival and the options were not high end or nothing to brag about: *Jimboys Tacos- Tacos were aight but nothing to brag about. However the taco shell was nice and crunchy. The seasoning was salty, which was unbearable after the 5 bite. *Azteca Street Tacos-Long to pay and wait for food was a disaster! *Tina's Tacos Catering-Sold out by 1PM!! WTF?? They also have other vendors there such as: *Issa's Gelatos- No Yelp page for this business *Snowie- No Yelp Page for this business *Spirit Cakes- Selling their cakes and cookies *Little Rich's Italian Ice *Pork Daddy's BBQ No bathrooms or porta pottys in the area. Wtf? With the hot weather and all the water I just can't believe it! Also no trash cans so people are just throwing all their trash on the floor...so disappointing! Conclusion of the story-They cannot get 3 stars!! Only 2.5! And I'm being generous! I heard they were not doing well last year and I see the status hasn't changed. Would I come back next year? NA, I can get tasty tacos in my area for much cheaper and tastier! ..NOT WORTH COMING Review # 38/196

The steel tiles appear as leaves in the design, reflecting plantlife and the flow of the water, with its proximity to the river, and allow it to blend in with the scenery with its mirror-like finish, while at the same time continuously changing, as the artist, Federico Diaz, intended. If visiting the River Walk Park, it's worth taking notice of this simple yet beautiful artwork.

I absolutely love coming and getting Carmel apples from here, so now it's time to do a review…read more This trip I got an Apple Pie Apple and the ones covered in Carmel, toffee, and chocolate! This shop is super small and quaint, a little over packed for me, but still clean 4/5. The workers are always super nice, though they should probably clean the knife after cutting each apple because the cinnamon of my apple got onto my friends separate order and she's allergic to it, outside of that I give the workers 4/5 for quick and kind service. The apple pie apple has always been one of my favorites, vey simple 4.8/5, but the toffee one (not-pictured) blew my tastebuds away! I shared it with my friend and he also felt it was a hard 4.9/5. Overall I rate this place a 4.4/5

Another month and dinner with the crew. Only five of us this time. Hope to see everyone next time…read more Some of us wanted to try the new restaurant by the great Kru. Chu Mai was a nice looking place. So vibrant paintings and art in the back. The bathrooms were a little weird. One door and I think three bathrooms for any type of person. Well I had reservations so we were seated right away. In the back at a big table. We started off with some of their specialty cocktails. I got the Golden Child since it had Cognac in it. Very strong and I liked it. There were two that got the Chu Mai Tai. which they enjoyed. The last one was the Boy with the Dragon Tattoo , which was bitter a little too much. We got several plates to share. The BO Tai Chanh, was just ok. Eliza wanted the shrimp chips. The Bun Rieu Capellini was ok to. We got two orders of the Mui Choy Kau Yuk , pork belly. It was flavorful . Finished with the vegetable fried rice and added an egg. We noticed that all the serving sizes were pretty small. I know it's from Kru but come on. Most of the dishes we could of made ourselves. Nothing to write home about. We were disappointed. Oh well. maybe they will come up with better items later. but for now I would pass on this place. At least we came once. Great for my UYE but not great for the food. I would give a 3 star if that. We still had a fantastic time with the crew, catching up. Till our next food outing.

If you want to get technical (and I do), it's actually called the Shepard Fairey Mural, after the artist who painted it. Fairey painted this particular mural in 2018, as part of Sacramento's annual Wide Open Walls mural festival. The design is based on a photo taken by famous photographer Jim Marshall. According to his biography on the Wide Open Walls website, Fairey founded the OBEY clothing line, as well as the Studio Number One agency. He was commissioned by TIME magazine to create two Person of the Year covers, including one of Barack Obama. A quick Google search of his name leads to dozens of other incredible murals. Personally, this is one of my top ten favorite murals in Sacramento, and I consider it a must-see. I find it hilarious that the previous reviewer pointed out that it's "free to see," since it can be publicly seen from so far away. Anyway, my favorite Johnny Cash song is Hurt. What's yours?

We do a lot of food tours when we travel but have never thought about doing one in our own city…read more Our friend who was visiting booked the Midtown tour it and it turned out to be a really wonderful afternoon! We tried five different places that she chose based on the group's preferences. We had a cocktail, a coffee drink, a dessert, and a few different dishes from midtown restaurants. I never felt full (the F word!) but I was happily satisfied at the end. I had never eaten at any of these places so now I know more great places to try. Dawnie has an amazing depth of knowledge about the area, the food scene, and the history of our Farm to Fork capital. She loves the city and it shows in how she highlights it in her tour. The biggest surprise for me was the street art. I had never noticed these murals nor did I realize we had a history of street art and unique festivals. I will definitely be checking those out more in the future! I hope to do more of their tours and explore other parts of the city in the future!
