This is a great hangover cure spot. It's a little dingy but they can mix up an excellent Bloody Mary. The Chicken Fried Chicken with Sausage Gravy is a favorite. The gravy is so good you might find yourself drinking it. Also a great place to watch a game.

If Sacramento knows how to do one thing, it's brunch. There are so many places you could go but this iconic spot has always been my favorite. The Madame Cristo is orgasmic. If the weather is nice, make sure you sit outside, their patio is a beautiful paradise. But do expect a long wait on weekends and holidays.

Everything Else
You could park in the parking garage and spend the whole day checking out the cool shops, eating some good food, walking along the water, biking on the trail, having drinks and taking in the history. There is actually a historic tour that will take you underground, it's really neat. Fanny Ann's Saloon is a great watering hole in an old building. Laugh's Unlimited is a fun comedy club that usually has deals on Groupon. The California State Railroad Museum is very interesting. Evangeline's is an eclectic toy and gift shop, as well as a costume shop during Halloween. The Hornblower does River Tours and Murder Mystery dinners. So much to do in this small area!
