Good ole' fashioned West coast style BBQ joint. We eat here too frequently (good thing we live in an active place!). There is NO way you can go here without trying the mac n'cheese. If you're vegan, we understand but for those who aren't... get the mac n' cheese! The naked jalapeño poppers are amazing, and Big, the ribs are tender and smokey, the smoked chicken sandwich is flavorful and satisfyingly crunchy from the coleslaw, the brisket and burgers are awesome too. Oh and the greens are flat out amazing. Eat here before you leave Tahoe!

A little bakery that is a hidden gem in South Lake Tahoe. It's easy to miss because it is tucked away in a weird yellow shopping center. You have to try the: cheesecake brownie, cheesecake, lemon meringue, and apple turnovers. Popular items run-out by mid-morning - bagels, croissants - but baguettes are always fresh to take on the run

A beautiful park with trails that lead to the beach and creek. The trails are very accessible for wheel chairs, walkers and people on canes. The rainbow trail is a loop that is about a half mile. The scenery you see on your way to taylor creek is breathtaking. At the beginning of the trail there is a deck that overlooks the wetlands. This area is the home to several bird species as well as beavers. The creek is a short walk down the trail. The kokanee salmon spawn in this stream ever year. Early October is spawning season.

Green Tahoe Market delivers beer to your home. But why bother when you can walk there :) Fantastic beer & wine selection for a corner store. A combination convenience store and liquor store, plus has a small selection of groceries, plenty cheesy souvenirs, and miscellaneous stuff that you may need if you're just in town for a couple of days and forgot something (gloves, socks, beanies). Plus, the service is usually very friendly.
