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 plethora 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.

AllAgesView – Happy June Modesto
AllAgesView By Sofia Johnson Happy June Modesto! As we all know, there is nothing that screams Modesto more than cars and American Graffiti.

FoodView – Velvet Grill and Creamery
FoodView By Chris Murphy Classic Fresh Tastes for All There is really nothing that goes with classic cars, cruising and rock and roll like a cheeseburger, fries and a milkshake.
