"Genoa, the Silver State's first town older than Nevada itself is a cozy relic steeped in history that may as well double as a Hallmark movie set this time of year. Just 30 minutes from South Lake Tahoe, Genoa is a place where visitors can escape from the hustle and bustle, trading crowds for peaceful snow fall on the nearby Sierra Nevada mountain range as Main Street comes alive with a twinkle of sparkling lights and a slight winter chill."
"Here, you can start with breakfast at Flutter & Buzz Cafe. Open at 8 a.m. daily, it's the perfect first stop off for an anti-inflammatory cardamom and cinnamon latte or a flavorful mimosa. The menu specializes in fresh breakfast and lunch fare and pastries baked in-house. There is an obvious affinity for local honey hence the name which appears as a main ingredient in several beverages and plates."
"The tree-lined streets boast adorable gift shops including Dancing Deer and Antiques Plus, which is so stuffed you'll have to squeeze in and out of it. One of the oldest surviving buildings in Nevada, The Pink House in Genoa is a 1855 home painted a fashionable cotton-candy hue in the 1870s and turned into a market and sandwich shop in the 2010s."
Genoa is Nevada's oldest town located about 30 minutes from South Lake Tahoe with a population of 786. The nineteenth-century Main Street features restored Victorian storefronts, antique shops, boutiques, and cozy restaurants. Winter brings peaceful snowfall on the nearby Sierra Nevada peaks and festive lights along tree-lined streets. Local dining includes Flutter & Buzz Cafe with cardamom and cinnamon lattes, mimosas, fresh breakfast, and pastries made with local honey. Gift shops such as Dancing Deer and Antiques Plus line Main Street, and the 1855 Pink House now operates as a market and sandwich shop.
