Top Six Things to Do in Folsom
This Sacramento suburb is a terribly underrated travel destination. The mix of open space, historical charm, and friendly locals make Folsom a fun place to stay and play. Conveniently, it's only about a half-hour drive to or from the heart of the capital.
Historic Sutter Street is a few blocks of old-time charm. Covered walkways and colorful storefronts evoke the Gold Rush era, and visitors can shop in boutiques, candy stores, and galleries. There are plenty of eating options on the street, and a small museum on local history.
For a cheap, tasty meal, there's no better place in town than Chang's Mongolian Grill. It's certainly nothing fancy, but has a nice homey atmosphere. Like other restaurants of this type, you pick your own ingredients and sauces to suit your taste, and some guests have called this place the best grill they've found.
