Time flies when you’re having fun, Sacramento. And boy did we have fun in 2022.

This year, we sent 200+ newsletters and wrote around 350 posts on social media with the goal of keeping our community informed, activated, and engaged.

So before we celebrate the beginning of a new year, we wanted to look back on the top SACtoday stories from 2022 + give a huge thank you to our readers and members of the community that made this year so spectacular.

1️⃣ Sac’s Municipal Equality Index score | Dec. 2 | 💥 656 views
We broke down how Sacramento nabbed a perfect score on this year’s index from the Human Rights Campaign, tracking local policies and resources for the LGBTQ+ community.

2️⃣ 10 brunch spots | April 8 | 💥 465 views
Check out some of the best spots to live out your “Sex and the City” fantasy — because we both know you’re such a Samantha.

3️⃣ Local gift ideas | Nov. 30 | 💥 387 views
Sac Etsy sellers have some of the best gifts for your loved ones this holiday season.

4️⃣ Eight swimming holes | Aug. 23 | 💥 346 views

5️⃣ Burger spots in Sac | Aug. 8 | 💥 342 views
Considering we received enough feedback to update our list three times — and produce a spin-off — it’s no wonder this story made the cut.

Editor’s pick: As someone who used to live in Carmichael and ate a lot of Adalberto’s, I’ve never laughed so hard at a tweet — but when it comes to late night Mexican food, they are the GOAT.
