sutter st.

All of the construction on Sutter street a few years ago has paid off immensely. The whole area looks great and hasn't lost its small town charm. Walking around is fun and relaxing. What's unfortunate is that so many of the shops keep very short hours. My wife and I have walked through on Friday and Saturday evenings (not late night, evenings) and were disappointed to see almost all of the shops were closed. It seems odd for them to be closed at, say 6 PM on a Saturday night, because that's when folks are out walking around. The restaurants are all open, and there are some great ones (Hopsings is still our personal favorite), but after dinner your options are quite limited.

Until our brief visit en route to Lake Tahoe, all we ever knew of Folsom came from the Man in Black, Johnny Cash. What a delightful place it turned out to be.The older part of town is located on the river, and you cross it via one of several bridges. The river is beautiful with rock outcroppings and some small islets, very picturesque. The shops were offering some interesting Christmas decor, but we had to press on as we needed to continue our trip into the mountains.We did not have much time to walk about the town so it left us with the desire to return to explore it further. We look forward to that day.

I guess if you like wine you might enjoy it. Most of the good shops & galleries are gone, many replaced by wine shops, others by home decor shops with lots of shabby chic & other fake old-looking junk. The one ridiculously expensive antique store on the corner has somehow survived, and a new one is upstairs across the street but the merchandise was not nearly as interesting as what we used to find in the previous shop there. The street itself still has some historic charm, but Folsom has allowed new buildings in styles that don't fit in, and the heavy traffic in the area makes old Folsom much less pleasant than it used to be. It's really too bad, since most of Folsom is bland at best, or rather ugly, they should have preserved the character of the old downtown better. One the more charming restaurants is gone. Newer restaurants are crowded, noisy, and without historic character, except for Hop Sing's Palace, which is still good. We will certainly not go out of our way to go to old Folsom again.

I love walking up and down the Old Town's Main Street, although I am very disappointed I never got to see it before they 'updated': it looks way better in pictures the way it used to be.The businesses of Sutter Street do their best to be interesting and friendly. You exit the light rail trains right on Sutter at one end, and there is ample parking in garages and lots at both ends of the main drag, although they have an annoying habit of closing the main parking garage for major events like Folsom Live!! Be sure to plan to stop for a meal: there is everything from Mexican to pizza, and steak houses and pub food along the street. And don't forget to leave time for the Folsom History Museum, which usually has a very interesting exhibit on.

Nice place to walk around and do a little antique or Christmas ornament shopping. Nice places to eat as well.

This historic town has a lot of places to eat and if you like to drink there's plenty of bar's. There are a few antique shops still left. It's a fun place to spend a couple of hours shopping and even a museum. all in all a fun place to visit.

They added railings and concrete. The updating really detracts from the place. We go here less often

Nice selection of bars and restaurants, was quiet on a Wednesday Im sure the weekends its jumping. Easy parking, nice look and feel

This is a revived downtown area - about two blocks long (maybe three).It has some nice shops and restaurants but not a place to spend much time.

Step back into history. Walk the old time streets of Sutter street in old Folsom. Very small modern changes have been made. Enjoy Hop Sings restaurant. Has been on Sutter Street since at least the 1970s

Fantastic. My favorite is American Visions..nice people, great art and wonderful gifts. If you love originals of the local scenery, they have it. The service is wonderful and they put on great artist shows.

It has very nice design of heritage building, if you like the historical place, then this is the best visit. It is free as well. Take some good photograph and enjoy the scenery view.

I loved this street. Alot of historical sites.. I loved everything about it. Lots of great food, bars and shops galore. Folsom is much nicer then i ever imagined. You won't be sorry. Go and enjoy.

Great food, service and atmosphere at fair prices for an upscale steakhouse. They provide a side with entrees, unlike, many of the high priced chain steakhouses.

Stroll and peek into the stores. Unfortunately many real antique stores have made way to boutiques and souvenir shoos. But it's an interesting mix. Lick ice cream while you wander, have lunch, there are a variety of places, most are good, the busiest is sometimes not the best.
