hether 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.

Tucked between a mountain range on the west and the San Francisco 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 Silicon Valley. The Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve is the largest tract of undisturbed 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 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.

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 neighborhoods (among the costliest in the nation) and a stop in downtown, which includes a mix of museums, several shopping districts and a variety of dining choices. The Stanford campus itself is the biggest visitor attraction, and visitors could easily spend a day or longer exploring the beautiful campus.

Enjoy your visit to the Midpeninsula!

BUILDINGS THAT MOVED - THE HOSTESS HOUSE I t’s not just that the people of the American West are restless, the buildings themselves sometimes pack up and move when - for one reason or another - the neighborhood no longer suits them or the neighbors no longer want them or opportunity waits down the road.

The Hostess House was designed by architect Julia Morgan in the Craftsman architectural style. It is the only intact building remaining from the two Army training camps (Camp Fremont and Camp Kearny) established in California during World War I. The Hostess House was originally located in Camp Fremont, a thousand-acre mobilization camp built in Menlo Park after the United States entered WWI in 1917. Hostess Houses were built by the

Shopping Everything visitors need — and want — around town

F

rom high-end department stores and one-of-akind boutiques to Michelin-starred restaurants, the Midpeninsula’s open-air malls and shopping districts provide a variety of options, each with its own distinctive flavor and offerings.

PALO ALTO Stanford Shopping Center: With 140 luxury stores and specialty boutiques, a mix of restaurants and cafes, sculpted gardens, cultural events and a European-style street market, this 1.4-million-square-foot open-air center attracts visitors year round from near and far. The center recently underwent a multi-million dollar renovation that transformed its west end into a “lifestyle center” with gardens, grassy sitting areas, an outdoor fireplace and space for more than 25 new, not-in-everymall shops.

Downtown Palo Alto: Centered along University Avenue, this pedestrian-friendly district packs in two movie theaters — including one with a working Wurlitzer organ — multiple galleries, a bookstore, an eclectic mix retail stores, restaurants and bars, along a 10-block area that stretches between Alma and Tasso streets.

California Avenue: Just south of the Stanford campus, this five-block district between El Camino Real and Park Boulevard is quieter than downtown and features boutiques and a large number of restaurants popular with local residents.

Stanford Shopping Center. Photo by Veronica Weber.

Town & Country Village: Located on El Camino Real across from Stanford Stadium, it’s hard to miss the distinctive red-tiled rooftops and rustic wood storefronts at this outdoor shopping center, which features more than 70 specialty shops, restaurants and services surrounding a network of pedestrian walkways.

MOUNTAIN VIEW San Antonio center: The corner of El Camino Real and San Antonio Road is home to two distinct shopping areas that were once part of a 56-acre outdoor mall built in the 1950s. San Antonio Shopping Center, located on the southernmost portion of the property, is a traditional retail center with big-box stores, including Trader Joe’s market and 24 Hour Fitness. The Village at San Antonio Center, which runs along San Antonio Road, underwent major renovations over the past few years that have transformed the corner into a modern, mixed-use center with luxury apartments, office space, parks, plazas and about 30 new boutiques and restaurants.

Castro Street With dozens of dining choices and a mix of music venues, performance spaces, coffee shops, pubs and book stores, the Castro Street area that runs eight blocks from El Camino Real to West Evelyn Avenue through downtown is a popular entertainment destination.

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.

Recreation Trails, golf courses and tennis courts keep visitors busy at 777 Embarcadero Road). Both are lit at night. There are many courts on the Stanford campus, but you are expected to have a university affiliation.

BIKE AROUND TOWN The area prides itself on accommodating and encouraging bike riding. The most popular rides use Alpine, Arastradero, Portola and Sand Hill roads to create loops of different lengths. Skilled riders wanting to cycle several hours or all day ride up to Skyline Boulevard and down to the coast and back. In Mountain View, try biking around Shoreline Lake, located in the Baylands just south of Palo Alto.

SPLASH THE DAY AWAY

Stanford Golf Course. File photo.

WALK, RUN AND EXPLORE 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 offers miles of flat walking trails that allow visitors to explore the area’s extensive wildlife 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.

Walkers with an interest in history and architecture will enjoy one of several historical walks around Palo Alto’s neighborhoods. Palo Alto Stanford Heritage (pastheritage.org) offers walking tours and brochures for selfguided ones.

GOLF Palo Alto Municipal Golf Course, located at 1875 Embarcadero Road, recently underwent a $12.5-million renovation that integrated 55 acres of native plants and adjacent wetlands into the 18-hole course. 650-8560881, bradlozaresgolfshop.com.

Those with a Stanford connection (alumni or parents) can play at the Stanford Golf Course. It’s located at 198 Junipero Serra Blvd., Stanford.

Both Palo Alto and Menlo Park offer lap swimming through their municipal pools — Rinconada Pool (cityofpaloalto.org/aquatics) and Burgess Memorial Pool (menloswim.com). But if you’re up for stand-up paddleboarding, windsurfing or renting pedalboats, rowboats, canoes or kayaks, Shoreline Lake (shorelinelake.com) is the place to go.

DRIVE TO THE COAST Palo Alto is located between the bay and foothills, and the Pacific Ocean and the beach are only a 45-minute drive away. If you want to mix together shopping, eating and beach walking, your best bet is to head for Half Moon Bay.

Restaurants More than 150 restaurants call the Midpeninsula home

C

hoosing where to dine along the Midpeninsula isn’t an easy decision. With restaurants serving everything from comfort food to cutting-edge cuisine, the region has become a dining hotspot for restaurateurs hoping to capture the gastronomic zeitgeist. Here’s some favorite eateries locals voted the best in their cities for Embarcadero Media’s annual reader’s choice contest, Best Of.

When locals return to town, the Creamery — family owned for more than 85 years — is often on a short list of places to visit first, just to get a quick fix of their famous milkshakes, available in just about every flavor imaginable.

Coupa Café 538 Ramona St., Palo Alto, 650-332-6872; 111 Lytton Ave., Palo Alto, 650-741-0713; plus five Stanford locations; coupacafe.com
