The Sac Foodies team recently tested out the new fall menu at P.F. Chang’s in midtown. These “lollipop-style” wings bring an amazing and spicy twist to the usual fall comfort foods. Green onions and sesame seeds add the perfect finishing touch.

Downtown Ice Rink Opens This Friday
This Friday marks the start of the 22nd year of one of Sacramento’s favorite holiday traditions: the opening of the downtown ice rink. To celebrate, the Downtown Sacramento Partnership is hosting a free community skate day on Friday at noon at the rink located at 701 K Street.
Can’t make it until after work? No problem. The rink stays open until 10 p.m.
Watch for special promotions throughout the holiday season, like Tuesday Family Skate Nights, theme nights every Thursday and My58 Fridays featuring half-off skate rentals.
But the best promotion might be on Mondays when from 4-8 p.m. you can bring a receipt from any downtown restaurant and get a free skate rental in exchange.
Happy Holidays!
Grand Opening of Bike Dog Brewery
Attention hop-loving foodies – there’s an innovative new brewery in town! Bike Dog Brewery opens its doors this weekend for their grand opening celebration on Saturday, November 2 from 2:00 to 9:30 p.m. Not only is Bike Dog Brewery one of West Sacramento’s few breweries, it is also the only one in town with a tasting room. Now you can try before you buy these specialty taps.
“Hop” on over to this weekend’s event to enjoy their expanded tap list, food from Drewski’s and local music. And if you ride your bike, there is a free bike valet service, courtesy of Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates.
Bike Dog is founded by four Sacramentans with a love for bikes, dogs and exceptionally fresh craft beer. In an effort to keep their beer as fresh as possible, they will operate a three-barrel brew house on site. The small size of this brew house means that only small batches can be brewed at a time, ensuring that the beer is always fresh and the recipes innovative.
Can’t make it to the event this weekend? Follow them on Facebook and Twitter to keep up on latest news, or stop in during their business hours from 5:00 – 9:30 p.m. on Fridays and 2:00 – 9:30 p.m. on Saturdays.
