2605 El Paseo Lane Sacramento, CA 95821 (916) 973-0249 www.shoptownandcountry.com
Town and Country Village is not one of those massive super malls. It is a charming, outdoor village-type shopping center with covered walkways and smaller crowds. The parking lot is easier to get in and out of than your standard huge mall. The specialty boutiques, salons, and restaurants here are enough to keep you busy all day. Pick up a truffle or twelve at Capital Confections and swing through Trader Joe's on your way out.
