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 University 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 attraction, and visitors could easily spend a day or longer 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 shopping and eating in the handful of nearby business districts, including ones in Veronica Weber Menlo Park and Mountain View. Enjoy your visit to the Midpeninsula!

8 Fall/Winter 2016 Visitors Guide HP Garage Known as the birthplace of Silicon Valley, the HP Garage is a symbol of innovation and entrepreneurship. Col- lege friends Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard purchased the garage in 1938 as a works pace to develop their own company, and the modest building served as a research lab and a development and manufacturing workshop. However, the garage was quickly outgrown, and the company moved to a larger headquarters. The property is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Although the garage is not open for public tours, feel free to observe and photograph the property from the street and imagine the electronics pioneers chasing their dreams of innovation. 367 Addison Ave., Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo A boardwalk along the San Francisco Bay provides visitors a view of Charleston Slough.

Out-of-town visitors can walk, hike or bike their way through the Midpeninsula. If none of those sound like your speed, perhaps a round of golf or a few laps in the pool will get you going. Walk, run and explore For walkers and runners, the Stanford “Dish” loop offers almost 4 miles of paved path that winds through the Stanford foothills with tremendous views of the university, Palo Alto and entire Peninsula. The Baylands Nature Preserve (see page 8), offers miles of flat walking trails that allow visitors to explore the area’s extensive wild- life habitat. The Pearson-Arastradero Preserve, in the foothills beyond Stanford near 1530 Arastradero Road, has a network of easy trails ideal for one- to two-hour hikes and a small unstaffed visitor’s center with exhibits.

Best Steak Restaurant — Sundance The Steakhouse

Since its opening in 1974, beef & martinis have never gone out of style at Sundance The Steakhouse, a Palo Alto institution. The atmosphere is very clubby with fireplaces, dark wood, sports memorabilia & plush leather booths tucked into the many nooks throughout the dinning room. Famous for their slow-roasted prime rib, they also offer fresh seafood, lobster tail & of course their specially aged prime graded steaks. The menu is supported by extensive award winning wine list making this steakhouse one of the best on the Peninsula. 1921 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, (650) 312-6798; sundancethesteakhouse.com

Hall of Fame for Best Bar/Lounge and Latin American Cuisine — La Bodeguita del Medio

With a name that the business translates to “the little bar in the middle of the block,” La Bodeguita del Medio certainly exceeds expectations. Modeled after an establishment of the same name in Havana, Cuba, La Bodeguita del Medio is known for traditional Cuban fare, a lively atmosphere and, certainly not least, its mojito cocktails. While the original bar was a known hangout of visionaries such as Ernest Hemingway and Pablo Neruda, you’re sure to meet someone interesting over great food and drinks at this California Avenue location. 463 S. California Ave., Palo Alto, (650) 326-7762; labodeguita.com

Best Dentist —Dr. Christine Hansen

The dentistry office ofDr. Christine Hansen and Dr. Roberta Jurash is on a roll, claiming the Dentist category of Best Of for three years running. When we’re talking about something as important and sensitive as one’s pearly whites, that makes a statement. The staff performs a full suite of general, restorative and cosmetic dental procedures and services, working to keep teeth and gums healthy as well as improve their appearance for a Christine Hansen DDS & Roberta Jurash DDS confidence boost. Team members work to see patients quickly in emergency situations and are proud to offer comfortable care in a relaxing and tranquil environment. 416 Waverley St., Suite A, Palo Alto, (650) 326-3290; christinehansendds.com

Best American Restaurant, Happy Hour — Menlo Grill Bistro & Bar

The awards for both favorite American restaurant and place for “happy hour” go to the Menlo Grill Bistro & Bar located in the Stanford Park Hotel. The warm and inviting neighborhood restaurant features American comfort dishes prepared with fresh, sustainable and healthy ingredients. Happy hour is offered between 3 and 5 p.m., when the grill offers five drinks that are sold for $5 each, along with shareable food items, also sold for $5. The Grill serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night drinks, snacks and desserts. It is one of the only local restaurants to offer late night dining. 100 El Camino Real, Menlo Park, (650) 330-2790; menlogrill.com

Best Casual Dining, Outdoor Dining, Independent Coffee/Tea House, Place to Meet People — Cafe Borrone

Enjoying breakfast, lunch and dinner outside or indoors at Cafe Borrone has been a favorite pastime of area residents for more than 25 years. Marina, Rose and Roy Borrone continue to embrace the cafe community with their passion for people, food and the arts. All dishes are house-made from scratch, from minestrone soup to pappardelle. Their quality of food since ’89 has been rooted in a conscious effort to offer sustainable, local and organic items. Working with local farms is part of the fun! The cafe also runs season art exhibits and hosts jazz and other live music events. 1010 El Camino Real, Menlo Park, (650) 327-0830; cafeborrone.com
