Eco-friendly, laid-back, progressive, with leafy streets lined by impressive professors’ homes and fraternity houses—戴维斯 has all the hallmarks of a classic college town. But it’s got its own unique vibe too—thanks in large part to its flat topography and fertile Yolo County setting, 15 miles west of Sacramento. Started as the agricultural extension for University of California, Berkeley, 加州大学戴维斯分校 soon became its own campus, with strong veterinary, viticulture, agricultural departments. Today it’s the fourth largest school in the University of California system, with around 40,000 students.
As for that flatness, it makes the town a haven for bicycles—it’s said there are 更多的 bikes than people here, the town is home to the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame, with memorabilia and gear from top racers and events. Rent a bike for as little as $10/day at places like Green Bicycle Depot to follow some 100 miles of bike lanes (the first such system in the country—click here for a map) and paved paths. Loop through the lush U.C. 戴维斯 Arboretum, then pedal 市中心 and continue your explorations on foot. You’ll find streets lined with boutiques, galleries, bars, coffee shops and restaurants serving comfort foods as well as cuisines from around the world (Woodstock’s Pizza, 缅甸吃, Zumapoke & 郁郁葱葱的冰 are standouts). As could be expected with tens of thousands of thirsty college students on hand, 戴维斯 has embraced the California’s craft-beer boom—drop in to sample the creations at Sudwerk Brewing Co., Three Mile Brewing, Dunloe Brewing, or Super Owl Brewing, to name just a few. Time your visit to sync with the twice-weekly farmers market (the city’s West and East Quads, as well as Central Park Gardens, are perfect for picnicking), or to catch a performance at the soaring Mondavi Center for the Perfor最小值g Arts. Insider tip: Check out what’s going on in town and surrounding Yolo county at 泥土.
