这一季的 降雪的记录 is reason enough to plan a trip to 太浩湖 soon, but the delicious year-round food is another. On a road trip from the mountain towns of 北太浩湖 to 萨克拉门托, California Dream Eater mixes snowy activities with the best local cuisine.
Day One begins in 太浩湖 with breakfast at Tahoe City's 火象星座咖啡馆, where he samples the indulgent banana bread 法国 toast with blue raspberry sauce. 接下来，他大胆地 北极星度假村 for some ice skating followed by a “Dirty Snowman” cocktail: a blend of hot chocolate, 榛子力娇酒, 香草伏特加, 和爱尔兰奶油. He also stops by locals' favourite West Shore Market Deli for lunch (try the loaded veggie sandwich) and takes the aerial tram up to 露台餐厅 & 酒吧 at 太浩栅栏 (formerly Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows), where drinks come with a panoramic mountain view.
To finish his day in the mountains, Dream Eater goes 迪斯科管 太浩栅栏 然后在 特拉基's 穆迪酒吧 & 垮掉的一代, where he enjoys a New York Steak with a live music background. After a very full day, he spends the night at Cedar House Sport Hotel to rest up for a full day in the capitol city.
The next morning, Dream Eater drives down the mountain to 萨克拉门托, where he starts his day with a Gibraltar (two shots of espresso, 泡沫, and whole milk) at local roaster 寺庙咖啡, followed by cream-filled classics at 玛丽的甜甜圈. To get a sense of 萨克拉门托's artistic side, he does a self-guided skateboarding 壁画之旅 of downtown, which you can also do on a bike or 两条腿.
The surrounding Central Valley is California's biggest agricultural hub for a variety of produce, 包括杏仁. You can taste a variety of flavours at the Blue Diamond Growers Nut & 礼品商店. After sampling his way through Blue Diamond, Dream Eater heads for more tasting at Ruhstaller底层. The downtown taproom offers 14 rotating taps, which often include small-batch R&D啤酒. Other stops in 萨克拉门托 include Shoki拉面馆 for a healthy "bowl of dreams," 瓶 & 巴洛 for cocktails and a haircut, and 妈妈。 for a super-seasonal vegetarian meal. Before he leaves town, Dream Eater takes a tour of the cutting-edge 黄金1号中心.
