Description:
Few can resist the temptation of fine chocolate. Throw into the mix a full bar with talented bartenders and tasty deserts, and they will need a stick to beat the hordes away. This place is stylish, though you do not need a suit and tie. This place is situated next to the Truckee River, which give this place ambiance both inside and outside. Try the chocolate fondue and a cocktail. Not recommended for those on the Atkin's diet! Yummy!
Author note:
This will be the early evening fun to set the tone for the night. Don't count calories here‚ and don't expect only chocolate. Great mixed drinks available‚ and all this only a hop and skip from downtown. We'd say leave room for dinner‚ but that would just not be in the spirit of things.

Description:
This is the type of place in which Jack Kerouac would have been at home. In downtown Reno, down by the river, this second-floor diner has been the staple of many locals for two decades. Healthy, vegetarian food, micro-brews, wines, and darned good coffee. Try the Wellness Beverage for the morning after. Yummy waffles every Sunday morning!
Author note:
This place is vegetarian‚ but this is not a warning; instead‚ this is a pointer. Sunday is waffle day‚ and if you have what might be a hang over the "Wellness drink" will bring you back to 100%. The Huevos Rancheros is our favorite breakfast dish. This place is so popular‚ so please have patience...expect a line of those who know where the best food is found. You'll be back!
