Sassafras re-opens at Hot Springs Road location
While many were looking at South Tahoe Wednesday night and a grand opening of the Hard Rock Casino, there was a Carson City opening noteworthy of its own with Sassafras Eclectic Food Joint, re-locating to 1500 Old Hot Springs Road.
As many in Carson City know, the Sassafras in downtown was not only very popular among local foodies, artists and musicians but its following crossed other boundaries, too, from doctors, nurses, deputies and firefighters to old school conservative politicians and progressive lawmakers.
And then the restaurant was told to vacate from the 318 North Carson Street location in summer 2014 because the owners of the building had found new restaurant-bar tenants. As of early this month, the promised tenants of the location did not materialize.
But underneath the bizarre politics of Carson City, a new Sassafras was born out of the ashes.
It opened Wednesday night, quietly, at its Old Hot Springs Road location among its friends, families and fan following patrons. Go here for the Facebook page which offers some of what is to come, and check out these photos provided by Jeff and Kristy Moser of Carson City.
