Tastes, Tales & Tours – Fresno’s Best This Weekend

Happy weekend, FresYes friends! 🌟

This week’s lineup is serving up flavor, nostalgia, and opportunity. Natali kicks things off with a bite-by-bite journey to Main Street Burgers—smash patties, Cajun fries, and classic shakes that’ll make you feel like a kid again.🍔👯

Then it’s my turn to share a trip down memory lane to Storyland, where those little plastic keys still unlock pure magic. 🧚From childhood wonder to serving on the board, I’ve seen this Fresno gem through the years—and the magic never fades.🚂

We’ll keep the momentum going with live music and wine at Tap & Cellar and a drop-dead gorgeous North Fresno open house you’ll want to see in person. Let’s dive in!

I’d had a long workday out of town with a colleague, and we were ready for a hearty dinner to cap off the day—burgers sounded like a good option. We wanted to try somewhere new, and Main Street Burgers, located in the Marketplace at El Paseo shopping center at Highway 99 and Herndon, was highly rated on Yelp and conveniently on our way home, so that became the destination.

Once Upon a Time in Storyland… 🧚‍♀️

Having served on the board of directors, I’ve seen Storyland through many seasons. But my roots go even further back—to my childhood, when I first discovered the magic of those little plastic keys. Insert one into a ride’s story box, turn it, and you’d suddenly hear your favorite fairy tale come alive. That click… that rustle of the vinyl key… pure wonder. Read more…
