Great Eats by Feet
Restaurants Around the ¡°Tech Comm Summit Triangle¡±
By Adrienne Tange | Member
Part of the fun of attending an
STC Summit is to sample the local
cuisine. Luckily, Sacramento, CA, this
year¡¯s location for the 2011 Summit,
has many diverse restaurants to
choose from. The good news is you
do not need to drive to them, since
many are within walking distance
of the Convention Center.
Downtown Sacramento¡¯s 66-block
area is called The Grid since it is
laid out in a simple grid format.
The geography is flat so it is an
easy walk to most places. The neighborhood that surrounds the state
capitol has a variety of restaurants,
including American, Mexican,
Italian, and Chinese.
For a list of restaurants near
the Convention Center, go to
Urbanspoon Sacramento (www
.) and search for
restaurants near the Sacramento
Convention Center Exhibit Hall.
This site has a page that lists places
to eat sorted by distance, price,
and popularity.
Another helpful website is
the Downtown Grid (http://
sacramento.). This
site displays restaurants by type,
provides discount coupons, and an
Eat the Grid map that shows eateries
by these locations: Old Sacramento
and river dining, Uptown (1.5 miles
north of Downtown), Downtown,
East Sacramento, and Off Broadway
(southern part of Sacramento).
Favorite Sacramento
Restaurants
My daughter, who is a third-year law
student, lives six blocks from the
Convention Center. She has tried
many of the less expensive and casual
26
restaurants downtown, since she is
on a tight budget. Here is her list
of 20 recommended restaurants.
Breakfast and Lunch
Walking distance: 0.5 miles
It has a wide selection of crepes either
as a meal or as a dessert. They also are
known for their omelets, salads, and
sandwiches.
La Bou

This is a bakery that serves
sandwiches, salads, and soups.
Ambrosia Caf¨¦ & Catering
1030 K Street

A great coffee shop that serves
pre-made breakfast and lunch. There
is a small selection, but all the choices
are good ones.
Old Soul Co.
1716 L. Street Rear Alley
Walking distance: 0.5 miles
One of the best coffee places in town;
they roast their own beans. Old Soul
is known for their strong, bold coffee
and their delicious pastries which they
make there.
The Bread Store
1716 J Street
(916) 557-1600
Walking distance: 0.3 miles
It is a bakery similar to La Bou. The
menu selections are smaller, but it is
less crowded during peak lunch hours
and the quality is the same.
Starbucks, Jamba Juice, and Spinners
(In the Westfield Downtown Plaza mall)
547 L Street
(916) 422-4000
Walking distance: 0.3 miles
Spinners is a cinnamon roll shop.
Capitol Garage
()
1500 K Street
(916) 444-3633
Walking distance: 0.2 miles
A twist on the traditional American
cuisine. I highly recommend this
place, especially their pumpkin
pancakes with Grand Marnier
whipped cream! The portions are on
the larger size. Capitol Garage has a
great happy hour.
Chicory Coffee
1131 11th Street
(916) 444-5107
Walking distance: 0.6 miles
The coffee is great and they are
known for their European-style cakes,
which are individual-sized for the
perfect treat.

in Sacramento! Warning: It can get

March 2011
Ma Jong Asian Diner

This restaurant has great
vegetarian options. It does get
crowded after 8:30 PM.
Mikuni Japanese and Sushi
()
1530 J Street
(916) 447-2112

It is a causal lunch spot for sushi.
For dinner it is a little more
upscale. I recommend making
reservations for dinner.
MVP¡¯s ()

Sports bar with traditional American
food. If a game is on, then this place
is a fun place to go.

Good choice if you need something
quick but don¡¯t want fast food.

is great. Zocalo serves $2 tacos,
$5 mojitos, and margaritas.
