Find Unexpected Dining in Nevada’s Historic Capital
Downtown Carson City, Nevada
Carson City's dining scene is rooted in its rich and colorful past with a range of diverse dining from Italian and other Mediterranean cuisine to Indonesian and Americana.
CARSON CITY, Nev., March 30, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Located 25 minutes from Lake Tahoe and nestled against the Sierra Nevada range, Nevada's capital city is home to a variety of outdoor adventures with endless opportunities to work up an appetite. Visit Carson City presents the city's charming and vibrant food scene, including an array of new dining options with unexpected menus and dynamic spaces for gathering.
Founded in 1858, Carson City is named after the famous frontiersman Christopher "Kit" Carson, and the city's dining scene is rooted in its rich and colorful past with a range of dining from Italian and other Mediterranean cuisine to Indonesian and Americana, including good Southern cooking.
"We want customers to leave feeling like they've sat in our kitchen, at our table, and that we've fed them as friends," said Chuck McCray, co-owner and fry cook at Tee Jay's Corner Cafe, an Indonesian-American restaurant with a 12-seat diner counter located in the heart of Carson City. McCray and his partner and restaurant co-owner, TJ Saputra feature a menu of classic American fare like cheeseburgers, hot dogs and biscuits with gravy, as well as authentic Indonesian dishes like drunken noodles and nasi goreng (Indonesian-style fried rice).
Husband-wife team Francisco and Eve Espinoza opened their first restaurant, Eve's Eatery, in 2022 to bring modern cuisine - like the porchetta sandwich and agnolotti, a ravioli dish made with fresh pasta and braised short rib - to customers in a beautiful yet relaxed atmosphere. Visitors and locals alike can find an abundant selection of hearty breakfast options and indulgent lunch meals at Eve's Eatery.
Leading a restaurant staff, along with raising their four children, the Espinozas have found further purpose in their restaurant. "Our two oldest sons help at the restaurant, and it's incredible to see how they're taking pride in the business," said Eve. "They see how hard mom and dad work to build something for the entire family, and I hope they'll want to continue it."
The COVID-19 pandemic put a pause on gatherings - now there's a special hunger for creating a sense of community at Carson City's eateries.
"We wanted to create a place where people could feel comfortable, connect and just have fun," said Kitty McKay, co-owner of Nashville Social Club, a 10,000-square-foot restaurant, lounge, and music venue. "We're all about good food with world-class music acts - it's a vibrant place that we're proud to offer our community."
McKay opened Nashville Social Club with her husband, John Procaccini, in July 2022. Having worked for decades with artists like Frank Sinatra, The Doobie Brothers, and Peter Frampton in tour management, Procaccini brings musicians and bands to play at Nashville Social Club. Meanwhile, the kitchen serves up tantalizing Southern food like shrimp 'n' grits, Nashville hot chicken, and fresh biscuits with house-churned butter and peach-bourbon jam.
Other must-try dining in Carson City:
- Fox Brewery & Pub: Located inside the historic Saint Charles Hotel, the Fox Brewery & Pub serves 17 house-crafted beers alongside their menu of elevated food, including "angry" mussels in a spicy sauce made with their house-brewed Honey Ale. Owner Jim Phalan completed major renovations in 2022, and the location boasts two full bars and brewery operations.
- Piazza: In Italy, the neighborhood restaurant is where people gather for a drink and snack after the end of the workday - that's the feeling owners Jenny and Mark Lopiccolo have created at Piazza. Paired with a robust wine list, the seasonal menu includes ingredients sourced largely from the Carson City Famer's Market, including chicken piccata, seasonal salads, and flatbread topped with fig jam and prosciutto. Jenny said she "fought for the lamb pops to be included on the menu and I'm so glad I did - they're incredible."
- L.A. Bakery: Another husband-wife duo, Leila Tavakoli and Ali Arbabha - L.A. stands for Leila and Ali - offers breakfast, lunch and seasonal pastries with recipes rooted in the Mediterranean, like the mouthwatering baklava, hearty falafel pita wraps and more. The duo both have degrees in engineering, but have put their efforts into building recipes with a wide variety of gluten-free, vegan-friendly and sugar-free options at L.A. Bakery.

Campworks, the World’s First Fully Electric RV, Withdraws From RV Market, Enters Save the...
BOULDER, Colo., March 22, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Campworks, designer of the World's First Fully Electric RV, the NS-1, withdraws from RV Market, electing to pioneer the Save The World Industry instead. Kristian Rene, Campworks Director of Community and Communication, states, "It has come to our attention that there are two impressive new players in the RV market, determined to electrify the industry. They come to the table with bigger battery banks, and a determination to dominate this market on an outdated premise that bigger is better."
Campworks began production of the world's first fully electric RV / teardrop trailer in early 2020. They have since redesigned their "Nomadic System," to be the first personal, mobile infrastructure with power capable of recharging an electric vehicle, anywhere in the world. The NS-1 operates at peak efficiency, requiring less battery power to accomplish tasks like heating and cooling, expanding the utility of the whole system far beyond a weekend away. "We are always maximizing efficiency, which is different than just switching from fossil fuels to electric under the illusion of less emissions. We are decreasing consumption without sacrificing output, productivity or access," Rene outlines, "and these design elements yield carbon-offsets and a tool for future building."
"We wanted to design a better system of living," Rene states. The Campworks NS-1 has an electrical system designed in partnership with the Navico Group, a division of Brunswick Corporation, utilizing the Fathom® e-power system, a complete lithium-ion power management system. "We needed an electrical system that operates the way a user expects from the grid. What we've learned is that people hate to be inconvenienced, the best products are ones that make life easier and more comfortable. We needed a partner who understood the ability to expand power access requires regeneration, thus literally and figuratively empowering the individual user; an individual who now owns and manages their own infrastructure."
The Campworks team share expertise in environmental science and design, field medicine and scientific research, agriculture and global supply chain, off road / track racing, and automotive mechanics and tuning. Their interdisciplinary backgrounds brought them to the conclusion that if they want to save the world, they must integrate the best technologies available into a singular system. According to Rene, "We chose the camper platform because it's the smallest habitable space and most people understand it's meant to be recreational; we believe the future has to be fun and the work has to be worth doing if we want to see progress. We then modeled new energy storage and generation around one person world-building. We integrated heating and cooling, air purification, and water filtration and we optimized, then packaged, these processes into an autonomous, thermodynamically outstanding container. This is biophilic design at its best and it offers an experience that connects with, and helps to rebuild, nature."
Campworks has bundled the essentials and programmed them to operate exactly as the user expects. This model provides the essentials of living and integrates methods to manage water, electricity and air, using less resources in an inspiring and effective methodology. "When using the NS-1, your energy and water use become a game. We've become so accustomed to resources being limitless that we've never learned to moderate our use," Rene explains. "The NS-1 interior UI/UX design cultivates behavior that, at this point, purely for fun and recreation, mimics MindCraft-style-living to create new patterns of resource use, which ultimately, transfer into home life, potentially reducing consumption and waste generation unilaterally."
"Our next steps include scaling this model into larger applications including forest service, farming and ranching, and environmental studies," Rene outlines. "If we can work on climate change mitigation in a recreational format, we stand a chance of creating a new culture that's highly proactive and actually moving towards net-zero. We're not dreaming of the great American road trip. That's an old story that ends after a week. We're traveling the long-haul."
