Like Monterey , Sacramento is where I grew up, spending my teenage years there. I saw it before it became “ a great restaurant city ” and before it had a thriving cocktail scene with its own cocktail week.

Thankfully since Wednesday I haven’t seen news of any other closures but I’m still keeping my eyes peeled.
