2016 Edition: Some might argue that travel guides are history. I agree, and that is why this is not your traditional travel guide. Over half this book covers the fun and exciting dining and nightlife scene of Reno. In addition to covering the traditional travel guide basics, it covers one of the greatest cultural movements both locally and nationally, the move toward natural, sustainable, local, independent, bio-diverse, eclectic, and authentic cuisine and drinks. It covers the whole new, exciting neighborhood of Midtown. Also in a nine square-block area of southwest downtown, there are a dozen restaurants and twenty bars, the majority of which have opened in the last several years. Reno also has several large annual bar crawls like the Santa Crawl, Superhero Crawl, and Zombie Crawl. This is one of the most exciting times to live in and visit Reno. Get the most out of your stay in Reno, and if you live here, get out and discover the great new things happening right under your nose.
