Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Stockton, California, was founded in 1849 as a result of the California Gold Rush. Originally settled by miners looking for their fortune, Stockton quickly grew into a thriving city due to its strategic location on the San Joaquin River. The city was named after Commodore Robert F. Stockton, a naval officer who played a key role in California’s early development. In the late 19th century, Stockton became a major transportation hub with the completion of the transcontinental railroad, connecting the city to the rest of the country. The city continued to grow with the establishment of industries such as agriculture, shipping, and manufacturing. In the early 20th century, Stockton suffered from the Great Depression but rebounded during World War II with the demand for agricultural products. Today, Stockton is a diverse city with a rich cultural heritage and a strong economy. It is known for its historic waterfront, vibrant arts scene, and beautiful parks.

The top 10 restaurants:
Dave Wong’s Restaurant
2828 W March Lane
Dave Wong’s once again took the top spot on Tripadvisor. With over 400 reviews, guests raved about both the food and the service. This is a great spot for family-style dining, so you can pick out a few options and share. Pro tip: start with the lettuce wrap appetizer. The garlic chicken is also a popular option, with fans saying it’s the best you can get in town.
Market Tavern
236 Lincoln Center
Market Tavern continues to draw rave reviews. It’s diverse menu is a hit with diners, as are the atmosphere and the vegan/vegetarian friendly options. Another element that really wins over diners is the efforts they go through to source all of their ingredients locally. Freshness is something that can’t be faked, and Market Tavern is all about authenticity. Pro tip: try the Thai-style Brussels sprouts. They’re life changing.
Angelina’s Spaghetti House
1563 E Fremont St.
If you’re in the mood for Italian, then the Tripadvisor reviewers say Angelina’s Spaghetti House is the place to go. Many of the reviews rave about the raviolis, they’re a big deal here. It’s said you’ll know an Angelina’s ravioli with the very first bite. Add that with their red sauce which is practically a local institution in itself, and you have the makings of a legend.
The Waterloo Club
10447 Waterloo Rd
Fans love both the “old timey” vibe and the delicious food here. When it comes to the food, this place is legendary for ribs, chicken and pesto pasta. Another popular option is the French Dip, which one reviewer praised as “The best I ever had in my live.” Another bonus, you can buy their BBQ sauce to go so you can enjoy a bit of The Waterloo whenever you want at home.
El Rancho Inn-Steak & Lobster
1457 East Mariposa Road
If you consider yourself a true carnivore, or a “meat and potatoes” kind of guy, then this is the place you want to try. You’ll have your choice of a cut of meat cooked how you like it. A lot of the reviewers raved about the surf and turf options as well, but it’s the steaks that are the star. One reviewer even going so far as to say it’s the “best meat in town.”
Midgley’s Public House
296 Lincoln Center
Fans love coming here for both lunch and dinner to partake in wings and the prime rib slider, but the clam chowder is the star of the show at Midgley’s. Located on the famous Brick Walk in Lincoln Center, do some shopping in the afternoon and time it so you can be done around happy hour at Midgley’s, which is a perennial winner of “best of” competitions in town. Do yourself a favor and get the fried avocado appetizer. It’s phenomenal.
