A good set of trails for a nice workout outdoors. The toughest one is the Spring Ridge trail to the Windy Hills summit which climbs 1400 ft in 2.8 miles.
Excellent pizza, their Salsiccia is outstanding. Add Fra'Mani Salame Piccante for extra kick. Don't miss the Prosciutto Pie, perfect arugula and prosciutto combo.

Beautiful park with coastal redwoods. Amazing hiking trails through the middle of a forest. Go to Alice’s for lunch afterwards.
New Englad clam chowder done right. The lobster roll is decadent, and worth a try. 자세히 보기
Visit the mighty California Redwoods. The 3-mile Monte Bello loop takes you through diverse ecosystems -keep your eye out for wildlife roaming the land.
This place is new and GOOD. Really cool beer list, good interesting wines and super nice owners. So happy to have this in San Mateo!
Great blue bottle location! Excellent staff, great cozy decor. Just be aware it gets super busy during the morning coffee rush. But still worth the wait for these amazing folks!
Best song selection in the bay with modern facilities, although with rather premium prices. Go for happy hour! Also, VIP membership offers sweet discounts everytime.
Best ramen in San Jose in my opinion. Don't go for the atmosphere (you are basically eating within a supermarket, but the ramen is killer. Tons of Japanese people are eating there all the time, whic
The 'Orenchi Ramen' is their staple, try that if you've never been. orenchiramen.com
Some of the best kbbq this side of LA. The beef tongue is scrumptious , the pork belly juicy, and the intestines are delicious! Be sure to save a little room for the kimchi fried rice at the end!
Family combos are a great value - steak, pork belly, and beef brisket to grill; tofu pots; and steamed egg. Throw in a seafood pancake, and it's a feast!
Get the mocha borgia, cold brew, or the iced chai. Pricey, but worth it. Internet is spotty at times though.
Go hiking at Picchetti Open Space Preserve before wine tasting. It tastes that much better.
A great small sushi joint just blocks from 🍎hq. Really authentic and great daily specials. UNI. UNI. UNI. Go for the UNI sashimi.
Home to the Santa Cruz Mountains' finest Zinfandels and Cabernet Sauvginons. And the view might be the best in all of the South Bay.
This place might get crazy on the weekends but the breakfast is great! I love the spinach omelette! Try stopping in mid-week when it's slower.
Pho dac biet bo vien (meat on the side), goi cuon, and ca phe sua da. Can't go wrong with that combo! Service here is fast and efficient. And most importantly, this place is clean!
No corkage fee. Reservations are now accepted on Urbanspoon. Get the prime rib with horseradish! The rotisserie chicken is good and all, but the steak is perfection.
Oyako don always. Nankotsu (karaage or yakitori) is great when available. Get on the waitlist via Yelp and call ahead for dinner if you want to eat at a reasonable hour
gem of a spot. kale salad = perfect: crunchy breadcrumbs, fat golden raisins. grilled carrots feat. more flavor than a carrot's ever hosted. &: sausage/honey pizza w/serranos + a brown sugar lemonade!
Everything on the menu is delicious. But make sure you ask which fish are fresh because not all of them are at any given time!
Genmai milk tea and grapefruit green tea are bomb! Make sure you ask for less sugar though.
I love this place for everything but their shabu shabu meats, which are simply too thick and tough. Go to Marukai for them instead. Otherwise, fish, produce, and packaged goods are great here.
Double Double with whole grilled onions and Animal style well done fries at any hour of the day. Always get a cup of water with a lemon wedge to make at least some part of the meal healthy.
Awesome congee and dim sum at a quiet and friendly restaurant. A little pricey, but makes sense for the neighborhood.
When it's warm, opt for patio seating. While slipping in standards, the desserts are quite good and great for sharing. The prime rib (only served on Sunday) is of fantastic value. And no corkage fees!
How to eat like a Singaporean in 8 meals: roti prata, beef satay, beef rendang, oyster omelet, chili shrimp, dungeness crab, BBQ fish in banana leaves, salmon curry, and nasi lemak.
Come for happy hour (Mon-Fri 4-6pm) - great selection of food and drinks at affordable prices!
Love this place, have been going here for years. Usually get a half Fridge, half Hawaiian. Only downside is you usually eat too much.
Quick service and a great way to get your comfort food fix. Two tomato basil soup is great.
Get the full sized mango mousse with ladyfingers instead of chocolate. That's how they used to make it until recently, and it's a whole lot better.
You have to be either really hungry or REALLY hungry to come here. Make absolutely sure u go rodizio or go home!
The fried dumplings (Shen Jian Bao) are also juicy, full of soup, and very crispy on the bottom. Better than the Shanghai Flavor Shop.
Two words: roti prada! I would totally have no shame just getting it as an entree and eating the whole thing! Also, hidden gem: the passionfruit soda!! Kind of tasted like lychee :)
The breakfast medley is everything dot com. You can swap the pancakes for any style on the menu that you'd like. Also get the chicken apple sausage on the side. Heaven.
Now called Cafe Venetia because the del Doge owner didn't want to expand, but the franchise owner did! Coffee's still from Italy and roasted by the same person.
With four types of patties, 12 types of cheese, 33 toppings, 21 sauces and six types of bun, exactly 312,120 different burgers combos are possible. (House-made guac and tangy tzatziki are two faves.)
I dream of the onion bagel with lox. And I love how they throw in extra bagels for free just before closing.
Pick an unsuspecting member of your party and discreetly tell the server it's their birthday. They'll be surprised with Cock and Balls for dessert.
One of the few places around with mini baguettes, perfect for those times when you can't finish a whole one before it turns into a rock.
$32 for the sunset special daily from 5-6pm (can reserve on OpenTable): prime rib, clam chowder, loaded baked potato, and vegetables. Can’t beat that!
Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful in finding the shoes you need. There's a treadmill in the store you can use to try out your shoes. No pressure sales.
If you're near, skip Peets and Hobees and get yummy espresso and the best pastries in town. Fast wifi too.
Best brunch spot in Palo Alto! Wait times are exaggerated though, so don't be scared off by the long estimates. Try the pain perdu special - unlike any French toast you've had before.
Short rib bourguignon is fork tender and incredibly flavorful. And the ginger cake is a nice, clean way to end the meal. Great spot in town!
Finally an ice cream spot in the Peninsula thats comparable to Bi-Rite Creamery and Humphry Slocombe in SF. Can't wait to come back.
You can only enter if you live in Palo Alto or you are with someone who lives in Palo Alto and they do check at the gate!
Sundays. 9:00am – 1:00pmYear round.Located: California Ave between El Camino and Ash St.
Candace Nelson's cupcake empire started with a Beverly Hills shop in 2005, serving creative varieties like Ginger Lemon and Chai Latte.
Parking fills up real fast, but wow what a view, especially at around sunrise. Takes about an hour to finish.
The only downtown coffee shop with ample and pleasant seating. The outdoor courtyard even has nets to keep birds out.
