Midtown Sacramento Arts and Food Tour

Overview

My husband and I went on the Midtown Sacramento Arts tour yesterday. It was a small group as there was only one other couple. Ciara (sp?) was our delightful tour guide. She met us at the scheduled start time with our first sampling: tacos al pastor from Azul on 20th St. It was a great way to start the afternoon. The focus of the 3 1/2 hour walking tour was twofold: local art and murals, complete with plenty of background info AND sampling the local food fare in the Midtown area. We learned about the city's efforts to counter tagging by allowing individuals and groups the freedom and process to create beautiful murals throughout the area. We walked down alleys and streets alike. Amazing art projects! We stopped at 7 different food venues: Azul (awesome tacos!), two premier coffee roasters: Patchamama and Temple, Rick's Dessert Diner (we had our choice of any one of their fabulous desserts!),"Veg",a Thai-influenced vegetarian restaurant (Blue flower lemonade and two sample entrees), the Golden Bear Bar for pizza and beer. We finished the day off at Ginger Elizabeth's, chocolatier, with one of their signature ice cream/macaron sandwiches. Incredible, top-notch food choices! Everyone greeted us warmly too. Apparently, the tour company has partnered with several more local restaurants so the tours can vary from day to day, depending on tour size and food allergies, etc. Ciara is a very fun, articulate, knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. Having grown up in the area, she had lots of tidbits of info about the area. She made the tour totally enjoyable! The pace of the tour was very relaxed. The distance covered was not overwhelming at all (several city blocks via streets and alleys). We had ample time at each locale and didn't feel hurried at all. We started right at 2pm and left Ginger Elizabeth's at about 5:15pm. A FABULOUS afternoon! We enjoyed it so much, we are planning on bringing our friends here soon to try one of their other tours, though I wouldn't mind doing this one again.

Our tour guide was fun and had some great information about the city. The food we had was really great, I only wish there had been a couple more tastings. The tour was a long one and a little more food and a little less art and walking would have been nice. But overall, I did enjoy myself and I would recommend the tour.
