In recent years, Palo Alto , home of high-brow Stanford University
, has become somewhat a social center for Silicon Valley's nouveaux
riches, as evidenced by the trendy cafés and chic new restaurants
that have popped up along its main drag, University Avenue . The
town doesn't offer a lot in terms of sights other than Spanish colonial
homes, but it's a great place for a lazy stroll and a gourmet meal.
Wash down a California-style Greek dish from Evvia , 420 Emerson
St (tel 650/326-0983), or a heaping plate of Cajun-influenced food
from Nola , 535 Ramona St (tel 650/328-2722), with a microbrewed
beer from the Gordon Biersch Brewery , 640 Emerson St (tel 650/323-7723),
or a latte from Caffe Verona , 236 Hamilton Ave (tel 650/326-9942).
The old-style malt and burger joint, The Peninsula Creamery , Hamilton
and Emerson streets (tel 650/323-3131), is a favorite with Apple
co-founder Steve Jobs. MacArthur Park , 27 University Ave (tel 650/321-9990),
is a great barbecue restaurant with more than two hundred wines
on offer. Surprisingly affordable rooms are available at the Cardinal
Hotel , 235 Hamilton Ave (tel 650/323-5101, ; $50-200).
