Whether you are visiting for business or pleasure, or to attend a conference or other event at Stanford University, you will quickly discover the unusual blend of intellect, innovation, culture and natural beauty that makes up Palo Alto and the rest of the Midpeninsula. Palo Alto is home to Nobel Prize winners, Silicon Valley CEOs, venture capital firms, Hewlett-Packard, and one of the most renowned universities and medical centers in the world. Though Palo Alto developed as a sleepy college town, the emergence of Stanford in the 1970s as the nation’s leading high-technology research center paved the way for hundreds of startup businesses with connections to Stanford professors and their inventions. Thus, Palo Alto became known as the birthplace of Silicon Valley and attracted engineers and others from all over the world to pursue their dreams. The Stanford campus itself is the biggest visitor at- traction, and visitors could easily spend a day or lon- ger exploring the beautiful campus. But at a minimum any visit should also include a walk or drive through the tree-lined residential neighborhoods (among the costliest in the nation), a walk in the foothills or Baylands, and some great Veronica Weber shopping and eating in the handful of nearby business districts, including ones in Menlo Park and Mountain View. Enjoy your visit to the Midpeninsula!

“…We highly recommend Patrice. She was always prepared, and was always willing to go far out of her way to ensure we were thrilled with her work. Patrice made both the selling and purchasing processes easy to understand, exciting and fun. If and when we decide sell our current home, we wouldn’t consider working with anyone else.” Ryan G. Sellers and Buyers

“… As both buyers and sellers of a home, Patrice exceeded all of our needs and expectations of the process. Not only was Patrice successful in negotiating a difﬁcult offer, she managed to make a complex transaction function smoothly. She worked diligently to ensure that every small detail was taken care of and that we were more than satisﬁed with the entire process. Patrice is a true professional and of course will get our highest recommendation to family and friends” D&K Stark Sellers and Buyers

“…We went with Patrice from a personal recommendation and she fully lived up to our expectation. We were especially impressed with the local knowledge and negotiation which won us the property we wanted.

Easily, the most anticipated opening of the new year will be a new Los Altos outpost of Manresa Bread, the popular bakery spinoff of David Kinch’s celebrated Manresa restaurant in Los Gatos. Andrew Burnham, partner at Manresa, said they’ve long been eyeing Los Altos as one piece in a larger expansion puzzle. They took notice of a changing downtown landscape, with Google co-founder Ser- MEDITERRANEAN ITALIAN CUISINE grey Brin buying up real estate and new developments being built as well as new restaurants moving in. “A couple years ago, we started seeing a lot of activity,” Burnham said. “It’s not New York City; it’s not the most vibrant nightlife scene at the moment, but things have been changing and hopefully we’ll play a role in that.” Burnham said the Los Altos Manresa Bread will be simi- lar to the existing bakery, which opened in February, not far from its Michelin-starred parent restaurant. But Los Altos will have full espresso and coffee service with Verve Coffee, something the Los Gatos bakery doesn’t yet have. There will also be cold-brew coffee flowing from a nitrogen tap, kefir on tap, and all of the famed breads and baked goods. “Weekly staples” include levain bread, brioche, sourdough baguettes, croissants, kouign amanns and more, plus seasonal goods like pumpernickel buckwheat rye, fruit-and-nut loaves, po- lenta cakes, quiches and tartines.
