Hey Modesto! Happy February!
It’s officially the month of love. Do you have any plans? I want to share some things I love about Modesto.
Our beautiful ash trees located here are magnificent to look at. I also enjoy the fiery pink and orange sunsets we get to witness. I love how involved our community is and how accepting we are! A wonderful thing about Modesto is it consistently holds many activities for all ages. Did you know Modesto has its very own symphony orchestra? Not only that, but we also have a Modesto Youth Symphony Orchestra! Our youth can show off their inspiring gifts and musical talents to the world. Students get to interact with professional musicians and conductors. They put on shows at the Gallo and other places around the region. They also perform at local schools, which is a great way to show the importance of music in our lives. There is an upcoming concert on February 11th at 2 pm, located at our very own Gallo center for the arts. I highly recommend attending and supporting not only our youth but the arts too!
Since February is the month of love, I’d like to share some restaurants I love. Chefs of New York recently opened back up, and it is to die for. Their margarita pizza is sure to invoke romantic feelings, especially even if those feelings are your love for carbs. Don’t forget to save room for one of their authentic New York cannolis. I also love Ralston’s Goat. This is located right at the intersection of J street and 10th. Ralston’s goat not only has delicious food, but they constantly have a source of entertainment going on. This includes open mic nights, DJs, and much more. They post events weekly on their website and Facebook.
Check it out! I hope you all have an amazing February filled with lots of love and excitement!
