On our way to Reno, we toured Virginia City , the location of the Comstock Lode, where a huge cache of silver was discovered in 1859, sparking an influx of fortune seekers to the area, which is pretty bleak--some hills and mountains poking up out of a desert. Dry reddish brown sandy soil, sage brush, yucca, not much else. Not sure how they fed horses, mules or livestock.
Now the major industry of Virginia City is tourism, a fun place to bring children and others who love history of the old West.
We stopped for breakfast at the Canvas Cafe, 110 N C Street, Virginia City, NV 89440, on the main route through town, toward the end if you are coming from Carson City headed to Reno.
It's a quaint little old house converted to a cafe, with indoor as well as outdoor seating on the side porch. Original (for sale) artwork bedecks the walls and ceilings--even the tables are creatively painted.
I enjoyed the Applewood Smoked Bacon and Eggs--Thick, applewood smoked bacon and eggs with home fries and toast. The bacon was ample--at least 4 large slices, perfectly seasoned and cooked.
Mark was pleased with the Classic Benedict--An english muffin topped with applewood smoked bacon and smothered in hollandaise sauce.
We both agree that the Canvas Cafe is a good choice for breakfast if you are traveling through Virginia City and want a well cooked breakfast of fresh food, a rustic artsy ambient and local flavor.
