Saturday morning farmers market is the best but there are others around town during the week that are good too! During summer, Thursday night markets are super fun!

Cocodine is by far the best Thai food in Chico. It's located in a shopping center on the south side of town but is worth the drive over there!

This hole in the way bar is the best place to get cheap drinks. It is not fancy at all but always a good time.
