Welcome Guide for New Visitors

If you're reading this today, chances are you're a new visitor from SacBee.com. Welcome to Cowtown Eats (and thanks to the Sac Bee for selecting Cowtown Eats as the featured blog.)

I wanted to take the time to point out a few of the site's features.

This site is about cheap eats and drinks for those who work or live on The Grid in Sacramento. Mostly, that's happy hours, but that also includes coupons and other things that I think the readers will enjoy.

Across the top are links to happy hours organized by day. For example, if you're looking for a good happy hour today, click on the Monday tab above.

Cowtown Eats is updated every weekday. On Thursdays, Cowtown Eats recaps the restaurant reviews and news of the week and on Fridays, the posts are about Half Off Sacramento deals.

Stay in touch with Cowtown Eats through the Twitter feed and Facebook fan page for those who want to be notified of new posts.
