Food & Drink
IT IS ALWAYS TIME TO EAT AND DRINK!
This is top of our list at most any time. You may have eaten about 20 minutes ago, but the right thing may make you eat again. There is a huge menu of great restaurants in Modesto, some big, some small. We especially like the downtown restaurants that are in walking distance from the theaters, clubs, the State and the Gallo Center. We try to expose most of the good restaurants, give chef tips, interviews and secret recipes. We will also keep you up to date on local coffee shops and great cocktail spots.

TweetBarView Pinky Drinks By Kate Serpa Photos by Philip Johnson Nothing says pink, warm, and sticky quite like venereal disease, except for possibly Valentine’s Day.
