How To Navigate The Sacramento Airport

First you have to get there, right? Airport Taxi Sacramento 1 will get you there. Ask for Moe — he's a French-Algerian scholar turned cabman, and he's got loads of interesting (albeit PG13) stories to tell. If you know French, he'll give you some practice and some tips on honing your accent. He's just about the best cabbie ever.

Now, about that coffee. Sure, you're thinking Starbucks, but you can get the 'Bucks any old place. Peet's is a California-based shop that you may not get once you board that big metal bird. What better way to bid Cali adieu than to sip its caffeinated essence? Sure, they got Dunkin's out East, Starbucks everywhere, Caribou in the Midwest, but Peets is in your back yard. Bon Voyage, suckers!

"But," you say, "it's lunchtime." You hate flying on an empty stomach. The Squeeze Inn is no Inn, and it's hardly a squeeze, but what it is, in fact, is a dope burger joint, with cheese skirts to boot. Feed that hungry beast in your belly, and shove some Sqeeze Inn in that beast's cage. You won't regret it.

Yes, it's that restaurant in the Handle District that you always meant to go to, but haven't had the time. Now you have that time, because you're waiting for that connector from SF. Paesano's does Italian, and they do it well. Gluten free choice abound, and if anything, you'll want to make sure you get to the main storefront in Midtown when you get home.
