The people of Riverside live a charmed life. From the charming orchards and hillside views to the old school charm of downtown to the oh-so charming Riverside residents, this sunny California city has a delightful soul.
The history of Riverside is said to have started in Eliza’s garden. Eliza Tibbets, the activist-spiritualist-agriculturalist and incredibly interesting Riverside pioneer, planted two Brazilian orange trees in 1873. The trees grew, their fruits became a big hit at local fairs, clones were grafted from the buds, and bam, the second California Gold Rush was on. One of Eliza’s two original trees still lives, bearing fruit at the corner of Magnolia and Arlington in the middle of Riverside.
Flash forward to modern-day Riverside and you will find a flourishing metropolis with all the perks of big city living. Shops, restaurants and nightlife are all at your doorstep. From the gastropub scene at the Salted Pig to the festive fare at Mezcal Cantina, there is no shortage of food options here. If you’re looking for fun, you can catch a Flamenco show at Cafe Sevilla, go dancing with the Empire Swing Orchestra, or check out the hip bohemian scene at Back To The Grind, a popular spot with coffee, live music, art shows and vegan grub.
