You need a margarita from Maria's. And if you like cilantro, ask for their green salsa to eat with the complimentary chips.

Newly-renovated & it looks so good! The revamped restaurant, Golden Gate, has an eclectic upscale menu and the cocktails are AMAZING. Our favorites are the Palomita and Violett French 75.

Some say this is the best pizza spot in town, while others think Frank's Pizza down the street takes the cake. However, Pete's has delicious wings & a great beer selection.

For our bagel lovers! Fun Fact - Caroline's sells Bubba's Bagels. They're delivered fresh every morning. Not as large of a selection, but if you don't feel like hopping in the car to drive to Bubba's, you can walk down to Caroline's instead.

City/town information

Like Sedona, AZ, Nevada City is a "spiritual vortex" as well as a historic gold mining town like Grass Valley. It has a similar downtown feel but the crowd that hangs here seems to be a little younger than those in Grass Valley. Definitely recommend the short 7 min drive to explore!
