There are quite a few restaurants, coffee shops and bars within a couple of
miles of the Raddison. Old town might be a little more than walking distance
for some, but the train museum there is well worth the side trip. Paddle
boat tours down the river leave from there also. Try Zagat.com or search the
California boards of
chow<http://search.chow.com/search?query=sacramento&search_board_id=3&search_boardgroup_id=1&sort_mode=newest&type=Topic&from_date=1+year+ago>.com
for restaurant reviews. Yelp
<http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=&find_loc=sacramento%2C+Ca&ns=1&rpp=10>might
have some info as well.
