We have a New Year’s resolution for you: Broaden your horizons and try to eat at more restaurants downtown!
Starting January 11th, you have the opportunity to participate in Sacramento’s 10-day culinary celebration Dine Downtown, where 35 restaurants will be offering a special 3-course menu for only $35. With so many delicious choices to choose from it could be overwhelming to think about where to start but we have a few questions for you to answer to help narrow it down:
Step 1: Is there a restaurant that you have been dying to try but haven’t had the opportunity? Or are you looking to re-visit an old favorite?
