Sacto is underrated (although I think I'd rather be in sleepier Davis and just train up) and downtown SJ has been overly maligned, often without any direct experience (or any real attempt to look).
I live in the latter now, literally in SoFA (South First Arts district) and certainly before COVID it was a small but damn vibrant area.
- chipotle_coyote 5y agoI definitely know the place! Haberdasher might be the best whiskey bar in the Bay Area. Davis seems like a neat place, although real estate was surprisingly expensive the last time I checked. (Okay, sure, welcome to California.)
- zeruch 5y agoIt used to be half of the Bay Area, but because of the growth in and around Sac, and because its a college town with a pretty well regarded college and mellow attitude (think Berkeley if it was not trying so hard to be so extra; like the show Northern Exposure. but warm). And Haberdasher is my hood, as is its neighbor Petiscos (I painted the wall mural in there) and Cafe Stritch...great area.
