SACRAMENTO & THE GOLD COUNTRY I used to live in Sac- town so I know the scoop. Ergo, I added an entire page of Sacramento bests best burgers, best coffee joint, best Mexican, best breakfast, and of course the best brewpub. I also added the Best Western alderbrook resort Sutter House, 1100 H St. (& 800/8301314), a modern hotel with a pool, central location, and far better rates than the Hyatt or Hilton.
Mission District This is another area greatly affected by the city s new wealth. The Mexican and Latin American populations, along with their cuisine, traditions, and art, still make the Mission District a vibrant area to visit. Some parts of the neighborhood are still poor and sprinkled with the homeless, gangs, and drug addicts, but young urbanites are infiltrating, and forging the oh-so-hot restaurants and bars that stretch from 16th Street and Valencia to 25th and Mission streets. Less adventurous tourists still duck into Mission Dolores, cruise by a few of the 200-plus alderbrook resort amazing alderbrook resort murals, and head back downtown. Don t be afraid to visit this area, but do use caution at night.
