2021 has been a wild ride for all of us, but in the midst of so many changes many new restaurants made their debut in Reno and Sparks. New places serving Thai food, beer, empanadas, Detroit-style pizza and juicy burgers are just some of the culinary additions to Northern Nevada this year.

Here’s a look at some of the new eateries here in town:

• Beline Carniceria & Deli opened this spring, quickly earning a reputation for its weighty, cheese-packed tortas and birria, a traditional Mexican stew that the deli has transformed into a beefy torta and cup of soup for dipping and drinking. The deli also features different cuts of meat, Mexican spices, sauces, drinks and snacks for you to try your Mexican cooking skills at home.
• Yu De Thai in Sparks

Now residents of Reno-Tahoe can catch a quick, nonstop flight to the Eureka/Arcata community in Northern California. The inaugural flight service is offered by aha!, an airline powered by veteran ExpressJet Airlines, and began on November 9th.

"We are pleased to begin service from Reno to Eureka, giving travelers in both markets the ability to put together, for example, a short spontaneous two- or three-night trip using lower week-day hotel rates" said
