Food scene
We would recommend making reservations for Friar Tucks. It is an upper-end restaurant (though you don't need to dress up) and has a great selection of steaks, seafood, chicken, etc.

Neighborhoods
Nevada City has an eclectic vibe to it. Stroll through Broad and Commercial streets exploring unique shops and tempting cuisine. Drive around to explore the many Victorian homes and historic places along the way. Pioneer Park is located in Nevada City and has walking paths and a small creek running through it. Great place for a picnic!

About 5 miles out of Grass Valley on Highway 20, Penn Valley is small town worthy to explore. Western Gateway park is an expansive area with picnic areas and an easy walking trail. Come enjoy some quiet time in Penn Valley and check out the shops and restaurants.

The Saturday Farmer's Markets are a Must!
There are two in the area...both on Saturday. One is in the new Target shopping center parking lot. Take Hwy 49 North to McKnight. Turn left. The new Target is on the left.
The other farmer's market is in Nevada City. Take Hwy 49 North to Broad Street. Turn left. The market is to your right at the first intersection. Park along Broad (if you're so lucky!).

December Visitors! Victorian and Cornish Christmas!
A must-see for anyone visiting in the month of December. Each week there is both Cornish Christmas (in Grass Valley) and Victorian Christmas (in Nevada City). The towns are closed to traffic and visitors are taken back in time to celebrate the Christmas season the old-fashioned way!

Wineries! Breweries!
The Placer Wine Trail in Auburn is a must-see for wine lovers and Auburn and Nevada City are overflowing with local breweries. Our little house is in the perfect location to explore both.
Our favorite local vineyard is Naggiar and our favorite tasting room is Luchessi in Grass Valley on Mill Street.
