The Melting Pot World Emporium is another must-shop, especially if you\u2019re looking for festival wear, neon, or funky hats. It is \u201cyour source for everything great.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eating in Reno<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Chef Mark Estee and his team are making \u201clocally-sourced\u201d and \u201cfarm-to-table\u201d\u00a0household terms on the Reno culinary scene. He works with local Nevada ranchers and farmers to bring the freshest ingredients to the table. Reno Provisions<\/a>\u00a0is Mark\u2019s popular marketplace and demonstration kitchen where foodies can watch ingredients for his restaurants being prepared by his team of butchers, pasta makers, and bakers. Two of Mark\u2019s other not-to-be-missed restaurants are Campo for rustic Italian and Heritage for farm-fresh goodness.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Art in Reno\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sculptures can be found all over the city, especially along the Truckee Riverwalk and at the Nevada Museum of Art. The Generator is a community arts space in Sparks, Nevada, where anyone can drop in to participate in the creation of all kinds of art. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Day trip to Lake Tahoe<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Lake Tahoe is only about a 45-minute drive from the heart of Reno, making it the perfect day trip! Rent a paddleboard on the crystal-clear lake and take a hike up to Monkey Rock for sweeping mountain views. Catch the sunset and roast some gourmet s\u2019mores at the\u00a0<\/span>Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe<\/a>\u00a0before heading back to Reno.<\/span><\/p>\n
