hether you are visiting for business or pleasure, or W to attend a conference or other event at , 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. Tucked between a mountain range on the west and the Bay on the east, the area provides visitors a diversity of outdoor experiences. The Santa Cruz mountains, which rise more than 3,000 feet, are home to dozens of wineries and more than 220 miles of regional trails that wind through redwood groves and open space preserves and provide panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and . The Palo Alto Esther Clark Park Page 21 Baylands Nature Preserve is the largest tract of undis-

Veronica Weber turbed marshland remaining in the San Francisco Bay. Visitors will find prime birdwatching and wildlife along the area’s marshland trails, as well as the opportunity to try wind surfing, kayaking, sailing or other water sports. Though downtown Palo Alto developed as a sleepy col- lege 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. While many of the region’s famed tech headquarters are closed to the public, there are plenty of tech destinations in the region that are accessible. But at a minimum, any visit should also include a walk or drive through the tree-lined residential neighbor- hoods (among the costliest in the nation) and a stop in downtown, which includes a mix of museums, several districts and a variety of dining choices. The Stanford campus itself is the biggest visitor attraction, CRU Wine Bar, Merchant & Cafe Page 30 and visitors could easily spend a day or longer explor- Michelle Le Michelle ing the beautiful campus. Enjoy your visit to the Midpeninsula!

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 Going to Christine Hansen, DDS & Associates is like going to a spa for your teeth. This dental practice, led by Hansen and partner Roberta Jurash, offers private consultation rooms, blankets, your favorite music (maybe some Creedence Clearwater Revival), as well as expert advice on how to solve your dental problems and what preventative or corrective procedures they can perform to ensure a healthy smile. Even dental-phobes Christine Hansen DDS & Roberta Jurash DDS say they enjoy going here and actually look forward to their next visit. 416 Waverley St., Suite A, Palo Alto, (650) 830-7884; [email protected]

Best Steak Restaurant — Sundance The Steakhouse Sundance The Steakhouse has been in business for more than four decades and has the steak to show for it. Their succulent, juicy and aged beef is served in an upscale setting with walls adorned with sports memorabilia that makes the meal all the more enjoyable. The highly regarded establishment made the “100 Best Steakhouses in America for 2016” list by online reservations website OpenTable. Don’t feel pressed to come in all decked out, you can get away with casual attire at this steakhouse. The quality demands for high prices, but it will be a meal you’ll rave about for the ages. 1921 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, (650) 321-6798; sundancethesteakhouse.com
