The visitor's center and Amtrak station are located just south of the new Mill Creek park that includes a beautifully lined water way, walking paths, access to a few great restaurants and the Bakersfield Museum of Art. One of the most common questions we get in the visitor's center is 'Where can I eat within walking distance?' A few years ago the choices were slim, but after the Mill Creek redevelopment project, I am happy to report success in finding some great (and quick) eateries close by!

As most days are in Bakersfield, today the sun is shining, temperatures are nice and there is not a cloud in the sky. For lunch I decided to walk over to the new Mill Creek Deli and enjoy the surroundings. I grabbed the Friday special, a sandwich and chips for $5.50! I was in and out in 30 minutes and back over to the office after an easy five minute walk. 

If you have a layover at the Amtrak station or are just looking for a nice place to walk and eat, I suggest getting over to the Mill Creek area and enjoying the great redeveloped area!
