The last tip from Reddit might be the best one 🙂‍↕️

No one wants to be stressed during the holidays, especially before you even get to your destination. 

So here are a few extra travel tips if you need them:

- You can bring food from the outside world into the airport. Sandwiches and burritos make great travel meals. They might get a little cold, but they beat rushing around during a short layover.

- Bring an empty water bottle so you can fill it once you’re past security. Most airports have bottle filling stations now, which makes it super easy. Just remember to empty it before you go through security.

- SMF has some solid spots for snacks, meals, and drinks. We also heard they’re adding even more options soon, so we’re excited to see what comes next.

If you have some travel tips, drop them below! There are definitely some elite ones out there, and the internet can vote on your ideas by liking your comments. 

We can’t wait to see what everyone shares to make holiday travel a little less stressful.

Who has been gatekeeping this deal this whole time!? 👀

We had absolutely no idea Sophia’s had a mojito night on Thursday nights AND that the mojitos are only $5 each!

Seriously, where else are you finding a made to order mojito for five bucks? You can choose between mango, pomegranate, coconut, or the classic version if you’re keeping it traditional. We liked the mango and pomegranate flavors. You also can’t go wrong with the classic but everyone has their own preference!

It makes perfect sense that one of the most popular nightlife spots in town also has one of the best drink deals around. Great drinks, great location in downtown Davis, and great vibes. This is one of the coolest things we have heard about in a while!  

So we’ll ask again. Who has been gatekeeping this the whole time!?

It’s back and better than ever 🎉

3rd and U has officially reopened under new management, and we couldn’t wait to check it out. This place has been a staple in Davis for years, and seeing it alive and back again just feels right.

We tried some of their new menu items and worked our way through a few drink specials. Everything was awesome. Here are a few pro tips if you’re planning a visit:

- This is one of the best people watching spots in town. Grab some food and drinks and hang out on the patio when the weather is nice. You can watch the flow of students and locals heading between downtown and campus. It’s a great way to flex that you are eating and drinking while they aren’t.

- Check out the drink deals. They have $7 glasses of wine and eight different beers, plus a non alcoholic option, ranging from $3.99 to $6.75. These prices are very solid for Davis. When combined with the TVs for sports, this is going to be a solid place to hang out.

- The food is legit. We tried a little bit of everything and loved it all. The wings stood out with a savory and spicy flavor balanced by a touch of sweet honey. Really unique and not something you find elsewhere. The burgers and sandwiches were also great and absolutely worth ordering again.

In case you forgot, 3rd and U is at 223 3rd Street, right across from campus. It is one of the most convenient restaurants if you spend a lot of time on campus and a perfect place to relax between classes or meet up with friends.

Check out their new website if you’re curious about the menu!

They are open now and ready to welcome you back!

Average day at UC Davis 😂

Make sure you’re tuning in to watch our Aggies this season! They’re having a great year so far and need the support!

Where are you guys watching the games when we aren’t playing at home? 👀

Day in Downtown is BACK! 🤩

This event has become one of the most lively moments of the season. The streets fill with local vendors, familiar faces, and that energetic downtown buzz that only shows up when the whole community comes together. If you have ever wondered what a true Davis afternoon feels like, this is it.

The best part is the food and drink scene. Local spots are rolling out some seriously fun deals for anyone joining the event, and it adds a whole extra layer to the experience.

Davis Creamery is offering buy one scoop get one free from 1-3pm.

Steve’s Pizza is taking 20% off your entire purchase.

HoneyD Cafe is giving 10% off your order.

Red88 has fifty cent potstickers along with half off pitchers and wine bottles.

Acai Fresh is offering $3 off any bowl per customer.

El Patio is running all day happy hour with $7 fries and taquitos, $7 for two mulitas, and $6 margaritas and draft beers.

Be sure to mention Day in Downtown at checkout to redeem any of these deals (they are only available during the event so make sure you get them while they are hot)!

If you want an afternoon filled with shopping, good food, and that cozy downtown Davis feeling, this is the event that delivers every time. Come hang out, explore, and make a whole day of it.

“There are no good restaurants in Davis” 🧐

One of the quotes that will live with us forever.

As long as places like Hikari Sushi and Omakase are here, along with so many other local favorites, we are in very good hands.

If you are looking for one of the best restaurants in Davis, we can’t recommend Hikari enough. You will not find this level of quality at these prices anywhere nearby, and the fact that it’s tucked away in a little college town makes it feel even more special. This family owned restaurant truly represents what it means to pour your heart into your craft, and you can feel that from the moment you walk in.

From the owners to the staff, everything here runs with a level of care and professionalism that makes dining feel like an experience, not just a meal.

If you want to try something unforgettable, their weekend omakase service is the move. Omakase means you leave the menu entirely in the hands of the chef, and you could not be in better hands. They serve you the freshest ingredients delivered that day, so every service is completely different. The chefs talk you through each dish, where the ingredients come from, what flavors to expect, and why each piece is special. It’s one of the most intimate food experiences you can have.

If you can’t snag an omakase spot, you should still go for dinner. The ingredients are still incredible and it is easily one of the best meals you can get in Davis.

We are so happy for this restaurant as they approach four years in business. Davis is lucky to have them.

If you have a special occasion coming up or you are just looking to treat yourself after a long day, this is one of the best places you can go.

Seriously, just look at these photos. Did you expect this restaurant to be in Davis!?

Day 2913 of finding new Davis businesses:

We’ve got a good one for you today, folks. Meet Above and Beyond Hospitality!

This locally owned business literally brings the bar to you. It’s such a cool and unique concept, especially in this modern era of delivery and convenience.

They handle everything from bartending to hosting craft cocktail-making classes, and they couldn’t have been nicer. We had a blast learning how to mix our own fancy drinks. It’s perfect for dinner parties or any event where you want to impress your guests.

From corporate gatherings to private events, they do some seriously fun stuff. In a college town like Davis, where celebrations happen all the time, this is a great fit for the community.

Huge thanks to the Above and Beyond team for having us and letting us tag along for the day. Just hit us up for the next event, yeah? 🍸

Finding deals. AT NIGHT! 😎

We accidentally showed up to a Halloween party at Steve’s in our sweats, but no worries, we got the scoop for you so you don’t make the same mistake.

Turns out one of our favorite pizza spots in town is stepping up their late night game with $5 beers, shots, and slices every Saturday night during their late night hours.

If you’re out on the town, consider stopping by Steve’s. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or drink on your way to the next spot or sticking around for the whole night (those $5 drinks make a strong case), it’s a solid move either way.

Also, can we normalize sweatshirts and sweatpants at night? We live in Davis, this feels like one of the perks we can all unlock as a community. Right?

We’re conflicted about revealing this one…

A world-class vineyard in Davis? 🤯

If you haven’t heard of Great Bear Vineyards, you’re seriously missing out. It feels like it belongs in wine country, but it’s actually right here in our backyard. You can literally bike there from downtown Davis. It’s just 2.5 miles away. Head straight down F Street and you’ll end up at one of the prettiest spots in town.

It’s pretty amazing that this place exists in Davis. You can enjoy a world-class selection of wines on one of the most beautiful properties around. We can’t recommend it enough.

Even if you’re not the biggest fan of wine, you should still go check it out. A tasting here costs way less than one in Napa or Sonoma, and the wines are every bit as impressive, many of them award-winning.

Just visiting the property is worth it on its own. Go during golden hour or in the summer when the vines are in full bloom. It’s honestly magical.

Some tips if you go:

1. Try any of their wines. If you need a recommendation, just ask. They have so many varietals, and most of them have won awards. We really enjoyed trying them all.

2. If you’re looking for a place to host an event, this is it. It’s peaceful, convenient, and absolutely beautiful.

3. Go during sunset. The views look straight out of a movie, and we’re convinced it’s one of the best spots to watch the sun dip behind the mountains.

If you’re still not convinced this belongs on your Davis bucket list, we don’t know what to tell you. So many cities would love to have a spot like this, but lucky for us, we’ve got it right here in Davis.
