S
ome of life's landmarks
are like sea changes. They
alter our perception of the
world, our very moment-
to-moment consciousness.
They leave us a different
person. The problem is, they're
seldom the same life markers that
most Hallmark cards are designed to
commemorate. Nobody knows when
they're going to happen, and then
they do.
We try to capture these moments
as best we can using the tools at
hand: the memory of a face, a seg-
ment of conversation, the feel of a
hug or a kiss.
Sometimes they sneak by so fast,
we wish we could watch them later
with the benefit of a slow-motion
camera. Bill Murray's quirky Jacques
Cousteau-like character, Steve Zissou,
in Wes Anderson's "The Life Aquatic"
said it brilliantly: "Nobody knows
what's going to happen . . . and then
we film it."
Each year since 1985, The Weekly
has set out in search of what's best
about Palo Alto, and for the past 21
years, our readers have told us what
they love best about their city.
This year, our reader's poll officially
comes of age. And so it doesn't reel
past like a feature-film montage on
fast-forward, we'll give it to you slow-
ly, frame by frame.

Ambiance
The lights are low, the tables set just far
enough apart to create a sense of inti-
macy. Even on Valentine's Day better
make that reservation early there's
no slacking on attention to detail or
detailed attention (think long-stemmed
red rose or a discreet offer of the per-
fect wine to enhance a fine meal). Evvia
is the place to share food, dreamy looks,
a quick touch of the hand... before he
snags that last to-die-for lamb chop.
Other spots worth soaking up the atmo-
sphere were Tamarine and Il Fornaio.420
Emerson St., Palo Alto; (650) 326-0903.
Burgers
Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser's fire-
and-brimstone condemnation of the
McDonaldization of America, lauded the
In-N-Out Burgers chain for its fresh
food and progressive labor policies.
However, you don't have to be politically
correct to enjoy their tasty hamburgers,
fries and honest-to-goodness milkshakes
that show In-N-Out's larger brethren
how to make junk food that isn't junky.
Local fave Palo Alto Creamery Fountain
& Grill came in second place. 1159 N.
Rengstorff Ave., Mountain View; (800)
786-1000.
Chinese Restaurant
The candidates were so stellar this year,
our readers couldn't pick a single win-
ner. The two-story Chef Chu's tied with
returning champ Mandarin Gourmet
for best Chinese restaurant. Chef Chu's
looms over North San Antonio like an
elegant palace. Inside, the vibrant red
and gold colors whisk you away to the
Mainland, while the cloud-white windows
make the world outside a distant memo-
ry. The tranquil environment of Mandarin
Gourmet suggests a dining experience
a world apart from the clattering stir-
fry joints of Chinatown USA. Distinctive
in its sleekness and absence of
red, paper lanterns the downtown
Palo Alto restaurant features elegantly
crafted horse and lion statues and large,
contemporary Chinese brush paintings.
Both offer dining experiences you won't
forget. Chef Chu's, 1067 N. San Antonio
Rd., Los Altos; (650) 948-2696; Mandarin
Gourmet, 420 Ramona St., Palo Alto,
(650) 328-8898.
Dining With Kids
Palo Alto Creamery Fountain & Grill
is a slam-dunk for eating out with the
youngsters: burgers, hot dogs, Belgian
waffles and other kid-friendly dining op-
tions. And, really, what child can pass
up a milkshake with peanut butter or
a banana blended in? Then there's the
peculiarly beguiling Green River soda.
Although Mom and Dad may not let you
order it, a bright-green drink will sure
gross out your little sis. See if you can
laugh and make it come out your nose.
Also popular for dining with kids: Califor-
nia Pizza Kitchen. 566 Emerson St., Palo
Alto; (650) 323-3131, and 2A Stanford
Shopping Center, 180 El Camino Real,
Palo Alto; (650) 327-3141.
French Restaraunt
Just because "bank" is in its name
doesn't mean you'll have to take out a
small loan to eat there. The Left Bank is
a hit with Palo Altans nonetheless. A lofty
interior decorated with massive post-
ers from France's Nouveau and Deco
periods is the perfect place to settle
for an entre or pop in for a cheese and
wine tasting. Or sit outside in a decidedly
European sidewalk caf setting for that
perfect late summer evening. Caf Bri-
oche finessed its way into second place.
635 Santa Cruz Ave., Menlo Park; (650)
473-6536.
Indian Restaurant
Darbar Indian Restaurant is on the
cusp of Hall-of-Famedom. An icon in the
Indian Restaurant category, it has taken
the first place prize four years in a row.
Amber India came in second. 129 Lytton
Ave., Palo Alto; (650)321-6688.
New Restaurant
The first thing to figure out about the
upscale Junnoon is how to get in lit-
erally. The owners have revamped the
space on High Street near University
Avenue, where Minokichi and then a
short-lived Japanese restaurant used
to do business. Instead of a street-side
entrance on High, the front doors face
University a more welcoming location,
right off of a plaza. But enough about
the entrance. Junnoon features "modern
Indian" fare (there's beef on the menu)
with prix-fixe two-course "power lunches"
($12 or $15) as well as a full selection of
entrees and creative appetizers, salads,
breads and more. "Junnoon" means "pas-
sion" in Hindi, which is reflected in the
classy maroon, ochre and black decor.
It's all yours to take in once you find
the door. Coming in second and third
were Sushi Tomo and Caf Del Doge.
155 University Ave., Palo Alto; (650) 329-
9644.
Outdoor Dining
Relaxing under an umbrella and sipping
a Sierra-Nevada in the leafy green court-
yard of the Empire Tap Room is one
of the true joys of downtown Palo Alto.
Whether waiting on a friend or an entre,
Palo Altans have designated this their
favorite outdoor spot. And after 15 years
in business, the Emerson Street pub
has learned a few things about keeping
customers happy. The umbrellas shade
regulars from the sun in summer and
shield them from drizzle in winter. Sea-
sonal soups are the perfect complement
to the environment, and also go nicely
with an Empire Tap Room Burger. Keep
things light with a sprightly salad, or go
upscale with a New York steak or filet
mignon. Whatever the case, get things
started right with a calamari appetizer.
It's practically mandatory. Caf Riace
came in second. 651 Emerson St., Palo
Alto; (650) 321-3030.
Pizza
Applewood Pizza is a perennial favorite
with Weekly readers, perhaps because of
the choice of 21 different toppings. The
pizzas come in five sizes with many of
the usual meat and vegetable toppings
but also with more unusual offerings
of smoked salmon, BBQ chicken and
peppered ham. The restaurant also has
pastas and salads. Second place pizza
restaurant was Pizz'a Chicago, while
third place was newcomer Paxti's, with
its Chicago-style stuffed pizza. 1001
El Camino Real, Menlo Park, (650) 324-
3486.
Restaurant to Splurge
If you're going to make an investment in
a dining experience, there are certain
expectations that must be met: Evvia
manages to serve elegantly presented
Greek cuisine, with bountiful portions
and exquisite flavors. The atmosphere
is warm and welcoming, the linen crisp,
the service impeccable. And then the
choices: soups, salads, seafood, game,
lamb a miraculous blend of classic
Greek dishes with a California sensibility.
Do leave room for the whipped cream.
There's a reason they call this food "fit
for the gods." Tamarine and Spago were
also noted as places to celebrate.420
Emerson St., Palo Alto; (650) 326-0903.
Romantic Restaurant
A man and woman face each other
across the table. Candlelight flickers
past their features, highlighting his blue
eyes and her broad smile. He caresses
her fingers, which are slightly trembling,
and uses his free hand to reach into his
coat pocket. Her grip tightens. "More
wine?" the waiter asks. She can't re-
spond. The man removes a small velvet
box and places it on the table, nudging
it toward her. A tear trickles down her
cheek. He gently gets up from his chair
and moves closer to her, lowering him-
self to one knee. He opens the box as
tiny reflections of light cascade off her
widened eyes. "Will you marry me?" The
waiters and bartender at St. Michael's
Alley applaud as she agrees. The lovers
embrace. He wanted the perfect place to
propose, and Palo Alto's "Most Romantic
Restaurant" did the trick. Flea St. Caf
in Menlo Park earned second best for
romantic dining. 806 Emerson St., Palo
Alto; (650) 326-2530.
Seafood Restaurant
Four years ago, Scott's Seafood moved
from its longtime location on East
Bayshore Road to its current location in
Town and Country. The move garnered
Scott's new customers and increased
popularity for its gourmet seafood
served in a casual dining setting, a
combination used by its owners for the
past 30 years. Tasty butter sauces, cre-
ative entrees made from fresh seafood
and a highly extensive wine list are the
hallmarks of Scott's. And if you or one
of your guests isn't the seafood type,
there's a great selection of steaks, per-
fectly complemented by one of the many
draught beers served at the full open
bar. 855 El Camino Real Suite 1, Palo
Alto; (650) 323-1555.
Solo dining
The Dalai Lama tells us we should "spend
some time alone every day." What better
place to do that than Caf Borrone?
You'll be surrounded by plenty of other
people doing the same thing. Nestled
between Kepler's and the BBC in Menlo
Park, Caf Borrone provides the per-
fect venue to sit outdoors on a sunny
afternoon with a book, a cappuccino
and most importantly, yourself. If you'd
rather stay in downtown Palo Alto, try
Pluto's, which came in second. 1010
El Camino Real, Menlo Park; (650) 327-
0830.

WHAT'S BEING SAID ABOUT US
Breaking the Indian mold:
Palo Alto's Junnoon offers high style
"Junnoon is exotic without clichs, a contemporary vision of India
beyond elephants and bejeweled dancersThe food is vibrant and
the wine list is sophisticated, with intriguing vintages from around
the globe."
- Aleta Watson, San Jose Mercury News
Nuanced detail, daring fl avors make
Junnoon a contender
"The soothing yet exciting dcor mirrors the effects of the bold
food. The brash use of chiles and aromatic spicing can be
powerful, but they rarely overpower; the combined ingredients
bloom like a morning glory, opening up with each bite."
- Michael Bauer, San Francisco Chronicle
Junnoon in the Crown
"Junnoon could be the Tamarine of contemporary Indian food."
- Sheila Himmel, Palo Alto Weekly

Steak
When you're tired of frou-frou California
cuisine and just want a good piece of
meat, Sundance The Steakhouse is
your best bet, readers say. Sundance is
no stranger to Weekly "Best of" readers.
The steakhouse has numerous Weekly
"Best of" wins notched on its doors:
as "Best place for a carnivore" (2001);
"Best place to take Dad"(2001); "Best
place to take Mom and Dad" (2002) and
"Best place for beef," from 1990 through
2002. Slow-roasted prime rib, filet
mignon, Australian lobster and vintage
cocktails are served in a classic candle-
lit, mahogany dining room still popular
with young couples on prom night. If
beef's not your bag, Sundance offers
poultry and contemporary dishes, such
as Ahi tuna sashimi and swordfish. Sec-
ond place went to Los Altos Grill, with
John Bentley's coming in third. 1921 El
Camino Real, Palo Alto; (650) 321-6798.
Sunday Brunch
Hobee's Restaurant has long been
a favorite for breakfasts and Sunday
brunches. The restaurants offer freshly
made oatmeal with five or six toppings to
choose from and a variety of scrambled
eggs (the Florentine has spinach) and
omelettes. The popular "Best Darned
Beakfast" has eggs, hash browns and
Hobee's signature coffee cake. Just try
to resist! 4424 El Camino Real, Palo Alto,

968-6050.
Sushi/Japanese
Restaurant
The first Japanese restaurant in Palo
Alto, Fuki Sushi takes the gold for the
fourth year in a row with its authentic
cuisine and dcor. The restaurant offers
a variety of dining atmospheres, such as
the lively sushi bar where patrons can
watch chefs turn fresh fish into colorful
morsels of sushi and sashimi. Traditional
and elegant tatami rooms adorned with
Japanese scrolls, artwork and floral
arrangements are also on hand for spe-
cial occasions and more private dining
experiences. Equally impressive is Fuki
Sushi's extensive menu, which serves up
toro, a variety of teriyakis and tempuras,
steaming bowls of udon and a green
tea mousse dessert. Miyake came in
second. 4119 El Camino Real, Palo Alto;
(650) 494-9383.
Thai Restaurant
Most people would not wish to be caught
inside a typhoon, but a Thaiphoon
now that's different. At lunch, down-
town workers and shoppers alike crowd
the indoor and outdoor seating areas of
the popular eating spot, which boasts
delectable panang and musumun cur-
ries alongside such refreshing treats as
green-papaya salad. A "Buddha" fountain
and tranquil dcor allow diners to imag-
ine they really are in an oasis and with-
out the bothersome gale-force winds and
rain. Krung Siam and Siam Royal came in
second and third. 543 Emerson St., Palo
Alto; (650) 323-7700.
Vietnamese Restaurant
With small plates of colorful and fragrant
contemporary Vietnamese cuisine,
Tamarine promotes the Southeast
Asian country's longstanding tradition
of the "family style" style meal where
family and friends gather around a table
to share and enjoy food in one another's
close company. Fragrance, flavor,
texture and color all delicately balance
and enhance one another in such dishes
as the papaya salad, chili prawns and
curried long beans. Tamarine, trailed by
Three Seasons in second place, is a treat
for not only the palate but the eye as
well the restaurant displays the works
of emerging artists from regional areas
throughout Vietnam. 546 University Ave.,
Palo Alto; (650) 325-8500.
Bagels
Few places in Northern California offer
a spread like Izzy's Brooklyn Bagels.
Adding West Coast flavor to traditional
New York fresser's fare, Izzy's tops rye-
pumpernickel, whole wheat and jalapeo
bagels with whitefish, veggie "chopped
liver," and even salsa mexicana cream
cheese. Not in a bagel mood? Not to
worry. Even the pizza is kosher. But what-
ever you do, finish your meal off with a
cinnamon rugelach or a black-and-white
cookie. After that New York-style meal,
it'll be hard to resist stepping out onto
California Avenue and shouting at a cab
driver: "Hey! I'm walkin' here!" 470 S. Cali-
fornia Ave., Palo Alto; (650) 329-0700.
Breakfast
"It's the most important meal of the day."
Doctors and mothers have been telling
us this for years, and no place does
The Hall of Fame honors popular busi-
nesses that have been voted best in their
categories for five years. Once they attain
this elite status, Hall of Famers receive
a special award and do not compete for
another three years. This way, peren-
nial winners receive special recognition
while offering up-and-comers a shot at
stardom.
Breakfast
When it comes to the Weekly's Best Of
contest, the words Hobee's and "Hall
of Fame" go together as naturally as the
restaurant's trademark blueberry coffee-
cake, array of scrambles and omelets,
oatmeal and thick French toast. The
restaurant has held the "Best Breakfast"
crown for more than a decade, making
it the Babe Ruth of morning spots in the
Palo Alto area. 4224 El Camino Real,
Palo Alto, (650) 856-6124; 67 Town and
Country Village, Palo Alto, (650) 327-4111;
2312 Central Expressway, Mountain View,
(650) 968-6050.
Burgers
Kirk's is famous for its steakburgers and
is mobbed at noon by hungry students
from nearby Palo Alto High School dur-
ing the school year, although tables are
usually available. The greatly expanded
menu now includes chicken, sausage pat-
ties, fries, onion rings and salads, while
the old Kirk's on California Avenue had
just burgers and hotdogs. The burgers
are still boss. 75 Town & Country Village,
Palo Alto; (650) 326-6159.
Italian Restaurant
The online Italian dictionary may not
contain a word for "overachiever," but if
it did, that word might be pronounced as
"Osteria." This favorite downtown ris-
torante enters the "Best of" Hall of Fame
not with five straight wins to its name but
six. Mama mia! Formally known as Oste-
ria Cucina Toscana, its chefs specialize
in classical Tuscan cuisine, including
house-made pasta such as pappardelle
Osteria, spinach raviolini, and linguine al
pesto.247 Hamilton Ave., Palo Alto; (650)
328-5700.
Seafood Restaurant
Founded in 1976 by the late Martin
Simon of Palo Alto and two partners from
Southern California, the Fish Market has
dominated this category for the more
than a decade. It's easy to see why. The
restaurant, which eventually branched
out into a chain, has long boasted good
food at moderate prices served in a lively
atmosphere. The Fish Market is definitely
a quality "catch" for the Weekly's Hall of
Fame. 3150 El Camino Real, Palo Alto;
(650) 493-9188.
Bookstore
A Peninsula icon, Kepler's Books &
Magazines is celebrating its 51st year
and it's recognition as a hall of fame
winner. Kepler's has set the standard for
progressive bookstores in the area since
its inception as a bastion of free speech
in the 1950s. The mission may have
toned down since the store's early days,
but Kepler's remains a place where ideas
of all persuasions are encouraged to be
aired. Where else on the Peninsula can
one see former First Lady Barbara Bush
or Jane Fonda? 1010 El Camino Real,
Menlo Park; (650) 324-4321.
Frame Shop
The choices for framing can be mind-
boggling, but at University Art you
can count on the pros to figure out how
deep the matting should be, which exact
colors to pick up and what style suits
your artwork and your taste. No job is
too weird, whether it's framing nude John
and Yoko from the album liner of the '60s
or making a list of Stanford University
donors look snazzy. Its' why this busi-
ness is a favorite and a hall-of-famer. 267
Hamilton Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94301; (650)
328-3500.
Hotel
For more than a decade, the Garden
Court Hotel has been ranked the No.
1 hotel, making it the local Garden of
Eden for visitors. Paradise doesn't come
cheap rooms range from $299 a night
for a deluxe guest room to $694 a night
for the penthouse suite but readers
have long said the price is worth it.520
Cowper St., Palo Alto; 650-322-9000.
Shoe Repair
Describing this hall-of-famer as simply
a "shoe repair" shop is a drastic under-
statement. The work of Robert Babekian
at Midtown Shoe Repair touches more
than his customers' shoes and sandals.
Loyal patrons also bring in damaged
luggage, items with broken zippers,
special-needs items, and even ask for
custom-made leather watchbands. The
Babekian family has operated the shop
for two dozen years. 2796 Middlefield
Rd., Palo Alto; (650 329-8171.
Hardware Store
This hall-of-famer seems to have a
good grip on success. For more than a
decade, Palo Alto Hardware been rated
No. 1 by our readers. From tools to fix-
tures, electrical to plumbing and a little
of everything in between, Palo Alto Hard-
ware is the place for the handy-minded.
857 Alma St., Palo Alto (650) 327-7772.
Jewelry Store
Offering an array of services from
on-site goldsmith work, custom work,
watch repair, free cleaning and inspec-
tion on pieces of jewelry, appraisals and
even offering professional speakers to
talk to groups, such as women's clubs or
book clubs about gemology and jewelry
Gleim Jewelers has covered its bas-
es when it comes to anything involving
jewelry. The business celebrated its 75th
anniversary this year, making it not just
a Hall of Fame member for the Weekly's
Best of Palo Alto, but for the city itself.
322 University Ave., Palo Alto; (650)
323-1331.
Workout/Gym
"Building strong kids, strong families,
and strong communities." That's the mis-
sion statement of the YMCA of the Mid-
Peninsula, and its true. With classes
such as adult and youth basketball, pre-
and post-natal exercise, racquetball, and
family camp, members can work or play
hard to become strong in body and mind.
Keeping Palo Alto fit since 1893, the Y
has you covered.4151 Middlefield Road,
#211, Palo Alto, (650) 856-3955; 3412
Ross Road, Palo Alto, (650) 856-9622;
and 755 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, (650)
858-0661.
Toy Store
Perennial "Best Of" champ Palo Alto
Sport and Toy World is welcomed
with open arms to the hall of fame this
year. Their secret to success is easy to
guess: in a world full of big-box chains,
Palo Alto Sport and Toy World is an
honest-to-gosh retailer with local roots
offering classic toys and sporting goods
that transcend all trends and "hot" lists.
Wooden building blocks? Baseball mitts?
No problem, and no wonder why this
store has pleased Palo Alto residents for
more than 70 years. Palo Alto Sport and
Toy World, 526 Waverley St., Palo Alto;
(650) 328-8555.

breakfast quite like Joanie's Cafe. The
quaint restaurant has been a mainstay on
Palo Alto's California Avenue for nearly
20 years, serving crispy brown waffles,
rich coffee and fresh eggs to hungry pa-
trons. The venerable fan favorite boasts
a robust menu, pleasant atmosphere and
friendly staff. Joanie's earns the honor
for the second straight year, beating
out Menlo Park's popular eatery Stacks,
which scored second.447 California Ave.,
Palo Alto; (650) 326-6505.
Coffee House
Peetniks look at Starbucks the same way
Mac users regard Microsoft Windows
a corporate behemoth that must be
opposed at all costs. No matter where
you stand, though, Peet's Coffee and
Tea has plenty to offer for caffeine lov-
ers who enjoy their coffee or tea good
and strong. You won't find any cotton-
candy drinks that look like they belong
at an ice cream parlor, although their
new Scharffen Berger Chocolate Mocha
Freddo delivers the goods for custom-
ers seeking a serious cocoa confection.
Their pastries also come from local bak-
eries, striking yet another blow against
"the man." Second place belongs to the
continental Coupa Caf in Palo Alto. 153
Homer Ave, Palo Alto, (650) 325-2091;
Town & Country, 855 El Camino Real
# 77, Palo Alto, (650) 248-4771, and
Charleston Center, 3904 Middlefield Rd.,
Palo Alto; (650) 433-0500.
Delicatessen
From the 6-foot-tall pastry case to your
left, the long counter of readymade hot
and cold foods in the middle, and the
mini sushi bar to the far right, the delica-
tessen counters at Whole Foods Mar-
ket will have your dinner party check-
lists checked for months. Because of the
wide variety, Whole Foods ditched the
word "deli" long ago, calling this section
of the store the "Prepared Foods Depart-
ment." Whether you're looking for soup,
side dishes, entrees or salads, the deli
at Whole Foods has your number. Just
don't order before yours is called. Sec-
ond place for best delicatessens went
to Piazza's Fine Foods. 774 Emerson St.,
Palo Alto, CA 94301; (650) 326-8676.
Desserts
The wooden tables and ceiling fans are
homey, and the place smells invitingly of
coffee and baking. But it's those glass
display cases that cinch this category
for the Prolific Oven. A recent visit to
the cafe found the cases packed with
sweet-tooth bounty: almond twists,
apricot Danishes, fruit tarts glistening
with berries, chocolate chip cookies,
croissants... And then there were the
cakes: chocolate mocha, zucchini, car-
rot and orange almond, to name a mere
few. Stay a while. What's your hurry?
550 Waverley St., Palo Alto 94301; (650)
326-8485.
Grocery Store
My folks discovered Trader Joe's long
before it became a chain and expanded
to Northern California. Long past the
rebellious stage, I took their advice and
checked out the amazing selection of
gourmet cheeses and wines, as well as
other international exotica from white
asparagus from Chile to Trader Giotto's
own pasta sauce. Traveling down the
aisles is a bit like wandering around the
world, with a taste of many countries and
cultures, including a relatively new ko-
sher meat section. Produce is fresh and
convenient, especially the already-cut-up
butternut squash or the baby zucchini.
And for those who loathe cooking, take
a peek at the pre-made salads or sushi.
Also mentioned were Whole Foods and
Piazza's. 590 Showers Drive, Mountain
View, (650) 917-1013, and 720 Menlo
Ave., Menlo Park; (650) 323-2134.
Ice Cream Store
Rick's Ice Cream describes itself as
"Palo Alto's gourmet micro-creamery,"
which sums up the appeal of this local
institution better than 1,000 Pulitzer
Prize-winning journalists typing fever-
ishly in a locked room. Everything tastes
good here, but standout flavors include
Banana, Computer Chip, Industrial
Chocolate and the always-classic Vanilla.
You probably have your own favorite.
Cold Stone Creamery came in second.
3946 Middlefield Rd., Palo Alto; (650)
493-6553.
Milkshake
On High Street, you can buy happiness
for $4.25. Just smooth enough to pass
through a straw, just thick enough
to stick to your bones, the Penin-
sula Creamery's famed milkshake is
whipped to perfection. Sample the rain-
bow or pistachio ice cream, or stick with
the tried-and-true vanilla for your cool,
frothy beverage. Next thing you know,
you'll be begging for an intravenous milk-
shake drip. It's that good. The Palo Alto
Creamery Fountain and Grill on Hamilton
Ave. was a close second. 900 High St.,
Palo Alto; (650) 323-3175.
Produce
Shopping for produce in the Emerson
Street Whole Foods Market is sort
of like a road trip with an organic aggie
twist. Yellow Crenshaw melons from
Turlock tumble out of a bin near Yellow
Doll watermelons from Esparta. Organic
mangoes from Mexico lead the way to
organic basil from Madera. The white
corn from Brentwood is perfectly in sea-
son. And as with all road trips, there are
lessons to be learned, and Whole Foods
makes that part easy: Large cardboard
bios of local growers hang over the mas-
sive wall of produce. This year's Weekly
voters must have chosen Whole Foods
as the best place to buy produce, not
just for the variety, but for the experi-
ence. Who could pass up a chance to
use those hanging salad tongs? This
year's second place for produce goes to
Sigona's Farmers Market. 774 Emerson
St., Palo Alto; (650) 326-8676.
Sandwiches
Customers line up at lunchtime and pa-
tiently wait their turn for the people be-
hind the tall counter at Village Cheese
House to fix them a sandwich. And while
they wait, they're treated to a museum-
like display of food and snack items from
around the globe. The shop in Town &
Country Village a local institution
since the late 1950s sells fresh meats
and cheeses along with cookies, choco-
lates, relishes, truffles, sauces and start-
ers for soup and a large variety of jams.
It's a recipe for success. Second place
went to Piazza's Market. 855 El Camino
Real #157, Palo Alto; (650) 326-9251.
Vegetarian food
It's not as if Whole Foods Market in
downtown Palo Alto has anything against
the meat-eating set. It's just that vegetar-
ians may feel like taking off their shoes
and slipping into something more com-
fortable once they walk in the door, kind
of like ... well, at home. When it comes
to this year's best veggie-food category,
Weekly readers have passed over the
places where food is prepared for you
also called restaurants and have
chosen a grocery store full of gluten-free
foods as their No. 1 hotspot. Maybe it's
the wide and tasty selection of Fantastic
or Amy's brands or that the butcher is
way in the back, but Whole Foods Market
has the competition beat when it's veg-
etarian food people are talking. Oh, and
the Market does serve prepared foods.
Second place also went to a grocery
outfit: Sigona's Farmers Market in the
Stanford Shopping Center.774 Emerson
St., Palo Alto; (650) 326-8676.

Art Gallery
With an emphasis on contem-
porary Bay Area art, the Palo
Alto Art Center brings art and
culture to the community through
acclaimed exhibitions, classes
for children and adults all year
long, school tours, family guides
and special events. The center
touts exhibitions of wide artistic
scope and versatility, from paint-
ing to fine crafts to new media.
Currently on view are IDEO Pro-
totypes the Future, and Creative
Commerce: German Lithographic
Labels, 1920-1938. The former
showcases the design mantra
of "form follows function" with
modern and streamlined pieces
such as a steam iron that looks
like an abstracted rabbit and an
updated version of the shopping
cart. Creative Commerce gives
visitors a glimpse into another
world the not too distant past
with commercial stone lithog-
raphy. At the heart of this exhibi-
tion are the vibrantly colorful and
intricate commercial labels that
Paul I. Landmann created for
cigar boxes, among other things,
throughout the 1920s and 1930s
in Germany. 1313 Newell Rd.,
Palo Alto; (650) 329-2366.
Dry Cleaner
"Even when the customers
are wrong, they're right," says
Charleston Cleaners owner
Fred Alami. It's this attitude that
he attributes his loyal customer
base to, which has kept the busi-
ness alive for the past 20 years.
Friendliness, efficiency and atten-
tion to details are the points that
sold this year's batch of Weekly
pollsters. 3900 Middlefield Rd.,
Palo Alto; (650) 424-1113.
Framing
Whether you're framing that
special family photo, a price-
less work of art or one of those
black-light Jimi Hendrix posters,
Accent Arts can accommodate
both your style and your wallet.
Its artisans have been framing on
site for more than thirty years,
and the lasting quality of their
work and quick turnaround time
have earned the appreciation of
their customers. And no matter
how much you plan on spending,
the framers at Accent Arts will
make sure your piece is worthy
of admiration. Richard Sumner
framers took second place. 392
California Ave., Palo Alto; (650)
424-1044.
Gym
The one-story, brick-laid architec-
ture of Axis gym invites a differ-
ent type of work-out enthusiast
than the sleek, corporate image
of 24 Hour fitness (in second
place this year) the Starbucks
of gyms. Axis is a neighborhood
gym, one that fits into with sur-
rounding houses and evokes a
similar comfort. You can drop in,
hop on the treadmill, and gossip
about the neighbors as they try
their hand at Tai-Bo. With its close
proximity the street and broad
windows, it's also great for peo-
ple-watching. Axis is the type of
gym that wants to be a hang-out
as much as a gym, and no matter
which group you fall into, you'll
feel welcome. 550 Ravenswood,
Menlo Park, (650) 463-1926.
Hotel
Just six months after opening its
chi-chi doors, the Four Seasons
in East Palo Alto has rocketed
to the top of the list as the best
hotel in the area. Water dancing
gracefully over a rectangular
reflecting pool, smooth jazz
discreetly piped in to the outdoor
seating of the Italian restaurant,
Quattro, and bopping bellhops
greet guests to the towering
resort. Once inside, cool marble
floors and warm earth-toned
furnishings set the stage for an
upscale stay, which starts at a
mere $225 a night. The spa, roof-
top pool (complete with tented
gazebos), fitness center, and
business and concierge services
round out the luxury experience.
The Stanford Park Hotel and the
Westin Palo Alto Hotel placed
second and third, respectively.
2050 University Ave., East Palo
Alto; (650) 566-1200.
Budget Hotel
With rooms starting at about
$90 per night, Hotel California
might not be the least expensive
hotel in town, but it's darn close.
Located in Palo Alto's "other"
downtown, its guests have
quick access to all of California
Avenue's restaurants, shops,
spas and public art displays. But
most likely, its visitors stay there
because of its proximity to Stan-
ford and the research park, and
its Web site boasts free shuttles
to both locations. Also accessible
by Caltrain, it makes an easy
stay for those flying in and out
of SFO. And, unlike the Eagles'
song of the same name, you can
leave this hotel after you check
out. 2431 Ash St., Palo Alto;(650)
322-7666.
Manicure/Pedicure
With the real estate market cool-
ing off and the tech sector reeling
from stock options back-dating,
why not invest in something with
a more tangible benefit? Say, a
little pampering for your hands
and feet? La Belle Day Spa
can fill that void, and you won't
get any of those pesky share-
holder's meeting packets. It's
Palo Alto's favorite place to exfoli-
ate, unwind and smooth out, and
it's been stacking up those "Best
of Palo Alto" plaques for the last
three years. Los Salonez picked
up second place. 95 Town and
Country Village, Palo Alto; (650)
327-6964 and 36 Stanford Shop-
ping Center, (650) 326-8522.
Best Massage
During the daily grind of work
and child-rearing, the body
begins to ache. Muscles clench
and tendons tighten. But local
stress cases don't need to look
far for a soothing way to ease the
tension Watercourse Way in
downtown Palo Alto is the place
to go for the area's top massage,
according to this year's "Best
Of" voters. The tranquil day spa
which recently celebrated 25
years in Palo Alto features
more than a dozen peaceful
massage rooms and a staff of
experienced therapists. The wide
array of massage modalities of-
fered include Swedish, Shiatsu,
Reiki, Hot Stone and much more.
Body Therapy Center on Califor-
nia Avenue placed second. 165
Channing Ave., Palo Alto; (650)
462-2000.
Men's Haircut
There are distinct lines of thought
about haircuts among the non
metrosexual males of planet
Earth. There are those who think,
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." For
such men, the existence or the
condition of their hair may not
even reach the level of conscious
thought until it becomes a prob-
lem. They go to Supercuts, get
a nice haircut, and are done with

it. The next group may not actually think
about their hair anymore than the first,
however, their loyalty to a particular
barber plays an important role, so they
visit the President (second place) or
the California Barbershop (third place),
until some exterior force brings their
hair to their conscious attention once
again.4232-A, El Camino Real,
Palo Alto; (650) 494-9177.
Shoe Repair
Paul's European Cobblery Shop just
doesn't act its age, and it isn't what it
seems. The multi-generation shoe-repair
shop on Califorinia Avenue is loaded
with assorted items, many of them
whimsical, such as the Beatles socks
gift items it stocked earlier this year or
a psychedelic iPod holder. Operating
for decades, the family-owned shop can
restore shoes and boots, repair lug-
gage, and even shine shoes in a friendly
environment that for years has put it into
the top "Best of ..." categories. Manager
Jessica Roth added some new spark
to the old shop, founded by her father,
Paul Roth, in 1942. Runner up is Village
Cobbler. 410 S. California Ave., Palo Alto;
(650) 323-0409.
Skin Care
Dead skin cells, clogged pores and age
spots be warned. LaBelle Day Spa is
where the scientific and the luxurious
collide to deliver exceptional skin care
services to Palo Altans forever in search
of that certain je ne sais quoi for their
complexions. Each treatment at the spa
begins with a relaxing foot soak, and
LaBelle's expert staff ensures that each
visit is a memorable one by assessing
clients' individual needs and paying close
attention to the tiniest of details. Each
facial, which spa goers can even custom-
ize, includes a consultation, cleansing,
exfoliation, extraction, purification, se-
rum application, mask, moisturizer and
sun protection. And that's just for your
face. Skin Spirit came in as the second
favorite for skin pampering. 36 Stanford
Shopping Center, Palo Alto, (650) 326-
8522 and 95 Town and Country Village,
Palo Alto; (650) 327-6964.
Spa
Bamboo lines the street outside.
Through the entryway, water trickles
down an elegantly carved wall and qui-
etly splashes behind a three-foot marble
Buddha. Hand-carved wood weaves its
way through the halls and ceiling, and
beautiful paintings mark the interior. No,
this isn't Shangri La but it's awfully
close. This is the longtime downtown
respite known as Watercourse Way.
Featuring nine uniquely designed hot
tub rooms and a cornucopia of spa and
facial treatments, Watercourse Way
has been soothing stressed visitors for
more than 25 years. And for those eager
to relax at home, the Zen-like day spa
includes a shop with products such as
candles, massage oils, soaps, books
and art. La Belle Day Spa was voted sec-
ond.165 Channing Ave., Palo Alto; (650)
462-2000.
Veterinarian
A veritable Noah's ark of animals and
their human companions flock to Los
Altos' Adobe Animal Hospital, where
19 veterinarians treat everything from
ferrets and reptiles to small farm ani-
mals and "pocket pets," such as guinea
pigs and hamsters in addition to cats
and dogs. Adobe has veterinarians and
technical staff on duty 24 hours daily,
to address every pet emergency, and
its broad range of veterinary specialists
makes it popular with companions of
exotic pets. On the cutting edge, Adobe
also offers chiropractic and alternative
medicine. Adobe gives clients a written
estimate of treatment costs before per-
forming surgeries, so there are no major
surprises a popular feature that keeps
clients and their pets coming back.
Palo Alto Pet Hospital placed second in
animal lover's hearts, with Stanford Pet
Hospital nipping at their heels, in third
place. 396 1st St., Los Altos; (650) 948-
9661.
Hair Salon
If they can pull it off for one more year,
the stylists at Los Salonez might just
win their salon a coveted spot in the
Weekly's Hall of Fame. The Menlo Park
shop has pleased Palo Altans consis-
tently, winning this category for the past
four years. Whether it's a specific cut,
color, or an entirely new look you're af-
ter, drop in for a consultation. Also spe-
cializing in perms and nail and skin care,
Los Salonez could quickly become your
one-stop beautification station. Second
place went to Juut for the second year in
a row. 1012 Alma St., Menlo Park; (650)
328-0735.
Yoga
If you don't know your asana from your
dhyana, Darshana Yoga offers les-
sons for as little as $15 for a drop-in
session. Focusing primarily on Iyengar,
a style of therapeutic yoga, and Flow,
a modern form of yoga based on many
classical styles, Darshana classes work
to "stretch the body, purify the breath,
quiet the mind and illuminate the soul,"
the studio brochure notes. Levels
include a special class for teens and a
"gentle yoga" class for delicate backs
and to relieve stress in a soothing envi-
ronment, under the watchful eye of the
Buddha. Yoga Source and Avalon Art and
Yoga Center tied for second place; The
Yoga Center cinched third. 654 High St.,
Palo Alto; (650) 325-9642.
Bike Shop
From the multitude of wheels to the se-
lection of knee warmers, the best word
to describe the selection at Palo Alto
Bicycles is "comprehensive." The store
has been in business for 75 years, offer-
ing quality repair work and bikes fit for
any type of cyclist, be they a Stanford
student looking for an inexpensive hybrid
to get to class, or a competitive rider

that needs a custom-made, feather-light
road bike that fits her proportions like
a glove. Palo Alto Bicycles also has an
extensive range of deluxe mountain bikes
with every conceivable type of acces-
sory. For the less seasoned rider trying
to introduce him or herself to mountain
or road biking, Mike's Bikes, the second
place winner, offers a wide range of af-
fordable bicycles.171 University Ave.,
Palo Alto; (650) 328-7411.
Bookstore
Borders may not be the most hip choice
for best bookstore, but its popular-
ity among Weekly readers is certainly
understandable. With its wide array of
best-selling fiction, non-fiction, manga,
graphic novels and magazines not to
mention the store's better-than-expected
collection of CDs and DVDs Borders
is definitely a one-stop entertainment
center for busy Palo Altans. Second-
place goes to the always-scrappy Books
Inc. 456 University Ave., Palo Alto; (650)
326-3670.
Boutique
Trendy clothes and jewelry make this
North California Avenue boutique a
perennial favorite with women readers.
Some say Leaf & Petal organizes cloth-
ing by color value so customers can see
all of the options for putting together a
matching outfit. In spring, a line of bright,
colorful sun dresses and separates
arrive to lift spirits out of the winter dol-
drums. Helpful staff assists with coordi-
nating outfits. The concept of "boutique"
varies widely in readers' minds: In addi-
tion to women's clothing, art/craft gift
store Shady Lane, on University Avenue,
came in second, and Title Nine sports
and athletic clothing, on Hamilton Avenue
tied for third place with Thistle on Waver-
ley Street, which carries clothing, gifts,
jewelry and home accessories. 439 Cali-
fornia Ave., Palo Alto; (650) 329-8070.
Eyewear
Billing itself as "The store for people who
can't pay a lot for glasses," For Eyes
Optical Co. pleased readers best, with
Gucci and Prada glasses at low prices,
and discounts for families and Stanford
students. Low-cost eye exams and
convenient evening and weekend hours
helped make the Town & Country Village
shop number one, with Site for Sore Eyes
coming in second. Lens Crafters and
California Avenue Optical/Lens tied for
third place. 83 Town and Country, Palo
Alto; (650) 329-0557.
Florist
Michaela's Flower Shop blends the
scent of flowers and history. A mod-
est-sized florist in downtown Palo Alto,
owners Michaela Dieffenbach and Steve
Wong trade off answering phones and
taking orders. They offer a huge array
of floral arrangements for any occasion,
speedily delivered, or even a sprinkling
of rose petals for romantic occasions.
With nearly 40 years between them in
the flower business, they have carried
on the tradition of Stapleton's the Florist,
which occupied the tiny shop for years
beforehand under the direction of Olga
Stapleton. If not immediately available,
almost any flower can be ordered by the
next day. Runner up: Mills the Florist. 453
Waverley St., Palo Alto; (650) 321-5390.
Furniture Store
You enter IKEA with a clear mission:
to purchase just one, simple bookshelf
called Markr. Or was it Malm? But
after meandering through display room
after display room, you find yourself a
bit peckish. Eight Swedish meatballs
and three hot dogs later, you drowsily
stumble to a display bedroom where a
plump Dalselv bed beckons you to rest.
"Just a moment while I digest," you tell
yourself before you nuzzle into a pillow
and nod off. Waking up much later, you
are confused and disoriented. "Where am
I? Why am I here? Who are those people
staring at me?" you ask yourself, forget-
ting the bookshelf entirely. Cross into the
world of IKEA, and you might never leave.
1700 E. Bayshore Rd., East Palo Alto;
(650) 323-4532.
Hardware Store
Every small town in America had one at
one time: The small hardware store with
the big inventory, just about everything
anyone needed on short notice packed
into a shoebox-sized store in a space
arrangement worthy of NASA packing
a space shuttle. Palo Alto still has one:
Peninsula Hardware, long based in
Midtown (adjacent to Mike's Caf), with
brooms and garbage cans spilling out
the front. In the mornings, one might be
able to chat with owner Gary Burke, if
he's not too busy helping someone find
just exactly what they need and want for
that urgent job at home or work. Runner
up: Orchard Supply. 2676 Middlefield Rd.,
Palo Alto; (650) 325-3491.
Jewelry Store
There should be nothing impersonal
about jewelry. Maybe mass-produced,
corporate body decorations work in
the world of bling, but a meaningful gift
of sentimental value should be unique.
Enter the craftspeople at Diamonds of
Palo Alto. With two master goldsmiths
and an award-winning jewelry designer
on staff, that special creation is suddenly
within the realm of possibility. If Miles'
buddy Jack had known about the shop
in the pinot-noir-soaked film "Sideways,"
he could have driven north to have them
recreate the dolphin-and-Sanskrit-themed
ring he lost, and saved himself an em-
barrassing trip back to the scene of his
crime. But then the ending of the movie
would have been considerably less funny.
Tiffany & Co. took second place. 261
Hamilton Ave., Suite 320, Palo Alto; (650)
322.120.
Men's Apparel
Women everywhere will agree that the
Macy's Men's Store in the Stanford
Shopping Center is the best place to
find that perfect anniversary, birthday
or "Congratulations, You did it!" gift.
The ties, jeans and Polo Ralph Lauren
sweaters are perennially in style. The
collections of Tommy Hilfiger and Sean
John, who we all know as "P. Diddy," are
always in vogue. Men, too, will find great
outfits for every occasion. Second place
for men's apparel goes to Nordstrom.
300 Stanford Shopping Center, Palo Alto;
(650) 326-3333.
New Business
The glossy Satura Cakes has apparent-
ly turned the heads of quite a few Weekly
readers strolling along the avenue. If you
think Satura sounds Japanese, you're
right the Satura folks are inspired
by Japanese pastry chefs who make
European-style pastries and cakes with
their own twist. Offerings include mango-
passionfruit cakes, brioche donuts made
with soy milk, green tea rolls with chest-
nuts, and sweet coconut meringue cook-
ies. Taking second place in this category
is Addison Antiques. 320 University Ave.,
Palo Alto; (650) 326-3393.
Nursery and Garden
Supply
Looking for the perfect reeds and
grasses to accompany your new water
feature? Or how about walkable ground-
cover to replace that fading lawn?
Summer Winds not only has a catchy
name that always makes me think of a
mid-'70s hit by Seals & Crofts, it has just
about anything you're looking for. Japa-
nese maples? Yep. Clumping bamboos?
Got 'em. Annuals, perennials, herbs,
roses? You bet. It's as close to a one-stop
center as you'll find for all your gardening
needs. Roger Reynolds came in second
place. 725 San Antonio Rd., Palo Alto;
(650) 493-5136.
Pet Store
From the outside, Pet Food Depot looks
just like another giant box store, but
inside, it's a different story. In its aisles,
you'll find the perfect toy for that German
Shephard puppy or the family cat that
needs to drop a pound or two. Treats
and toys for all your four legged family
members abound. And if you're a new pet
owner, you'll find everything from food
bowls to training sheets. Second Place
winner, Piccadilly Pet, is the place to go
for that guilt-inspired purchase after leav-
ing your dog alone too long - especially if
money is no object. 3127 El Camino Real,
Palo Alto; (650) 852-1277.

EKLYPharmacy/Drug Store
There may not be a place on Earth where
you can get your film developed while you
shop for a garden hose, new underwear
and a really funny birthday card for your
10-year-old nephew other than Longs
Drugs. But those items, and many more,
such as crackers, sparkly jewelry and fish
oil tablets, will easily make their way into
your shopping basket with a quick browse
around. This year's Weekly voters said
Longs Drugs was the best place to check
those "must-have" items off your list,
while filling your various prescriptions,
too. Second place went to Walgreens.
352 University Ave., Palo Alto, (650) 324-
1667; 855 El Camino Real, Palo Alto; (650)
322-2150; 2701, and Middlefield Rd., Palo
Alto; (650) 330-0128.
Sporting Goods
When REI opened its new store in Moun-
tain View in August, about 600 people
lined up before the doors opened three
days in a row. The store has been busy
ever since. REI's popularity meant that
people were driving to San Carlos to
shop. No more! The Seattle-based out-
door outfitter has clothing and equipment
for backpacking, camping, hiking and kay-
aking, and is a year-round bicycle store.
In the fall, the store gears up for snow
sports. Second place in this category
went to the venerable Palo Alto Sport &
Toy World. 2450 Charleston Rd., Mountain
View; (650) 969-1938.
Stationery Store
Greeting cards? Check. Boxes of Crane
stationery and Cross gold pens? Check.
Calendars featuring wide-eyed animals or
romantically lit European cities? Check.
There's a reason Village Stationers on
California Avenue was voted best statio-
nery shop. Make that about 1,000 rea-
sons. Not only does it carry all the items
you'd expect in a store of its ilk, it goes
above and beyond, becoming an office
and home depot of one's dreams. Along
with three-ring binders, there are minia-
ture undercover listening devices ($6.95),
decorated contact-lens cases, bath sup-
plies and modern dinnerware. This is the
fourth year Village Stationers has gotten
the top pick. Only one more year and it's
Hall of Fame time, baby. But watch out:
Second- and third-place winners Letter
Perfect and Congdon & Crome are nip-
ping at its heels. 310 S. California Ave.,
Palo Alto; (650) 326-7970, and 719 Santa
Cruz Ave., Menlo Park; (650) 321-6920.
Toy Store
You've gotta love a store where a sign
asking "Children, please attempt to
control your parents" hangs prominently
on one wall. The Klutz Store on College
Avenue, known for its creative books
and overall spirit of cheekiness, has won
the rock-paper-scissors game this year,
snagging Best Toy Store. Good thing, too,
since it's chock-full of wacky ways to have
fun. This year's top-selling book: Paper
Fashions, which gives aspiring clothing
designers their first crack at creating
couture for future Project Runways.
Plastic stencils of miniature pants, skirts,
shoes, sweaters and more, patterned pa-
pers, decorative doodads and tiny metal
hangers allow imaginations to run wild.
Klutz is located somewhat off the beaten
path, but it's not hard to find. Look for
the metal rocket ship and flying saucer
hovering over the colorful storefront.
Runners up included Cheeky Monkey and
Diddam's. 572 College Ave., Palo Alto;
(650) 493-2481.

Women's Apparel
J. Crew is too preppy for you; Gap is
too immature. You want a look that says
you either 1) raid your grandmother's
closet or 2) sew your own clothes. But
unless you have the stamina to rum-
mage through endless thrift store racks,
Anthropologie is the place for you. The
ambient, soothing music will help you
wade past flowing skirts, tweed trousers
and knobby cardigans. So, toss on a tu-
nic and head to the unmistakable, burnt
sienna building on Alma Street to en-
hance your faux-vintage wardrobe. Your
secret's safe with us. 999 Alma St., Palo
Alto; (650) 322-0435.
Best Late Night Hangout
Nightfall. Cars pass by slowly, engines
humming, dragging a cool breeze in their
wake. Segments of hyper-intellectual
vocabulary are vollied back and forth
inside coffee shops like so many Ping
Pong balls, as Stanfordites cram for
their midterms. You are, of course, on
University Avenue. Throbbing music
pulsates from a bar, forcing patrons to
shout their chit chat. An old-timey organ
hums from the Stanford Theater, provid-
ing the soundtrack to silent films from
a bygone era. As you pass by a giant
egg constructed from computer circuit
boards, it hits you: this isn't like any
other downtown. The runner up was Nola
Restaurant and Bar.
Best Neighborhood
Bounded by Alma Street, Oregon Ex-
pressway, Highway 101 and Loma Verde
Avenue, the popular Midtown neighbor-
hood boasts two shopping centers, two
public schools, three parks, a neighbor-
hood association, an ice-skating rink, a
Quaker meeting house and a Buddhist
temple. Sure, the shopping is good in
Midtown, but so is the housing. Stroll-
ing along Midtown's residential streets
and people do, with dog-walkers and
joggers a frequent sight pedestrians
wander past an eclectic mix of housing:
new Mediterranean-style villas, Califor-
nia ranch homes and half-century-old
Eichlers. And the neighborhood was in-
strumental in pressuring the City Council
to crack down on monster homes. What's
not to like?
Best Palo Alto Park
Palo Alto's Mitchell Park offers nothing
if not variety residents can bring their
children to the playground (complete with
sand box), get exercise on the multiple
tennis courts, or just enjoy the beautiful
scenery. With its long, curving paths,
vast lawns, and functioning dog kennel,
it's no surprise it got runner up this year
for best place to walk to the dog. Most
importantly, with enough square feet to
get lost in, it's the rare park large enough
to avoid running into that neighbor you
dislike. Foothill came in second. Middle-
field Rd. at East Meadow Drive, Palo Alto.
Best Place for a Parking
Ticket
Everyone who parks regularly in Down-
town Palo Alto has a favorite dance for
avoiding a parking ticket, twisting and
leaping from street to street every two
hours. Do you favor the Ramona Rhumba,
the Channing Cha-Cha, or the Cowper
Cakewalk? Just make sure you stay a
step (or a two-step) ahead of the fuzz.
Another top spot for a parking ticket is
the Stanford University campus as-
suming you can find a space at all.
Best Place for a Date
Take a beautiful balcony with plush seats
and grand chandeliers hanging overhead.
Dim the lights and bring on the Cary
Grant or Ingrid Bergman. That's the
timeless date setting of the Stanford
Theatre. You can even bring your own
candy, giving you the opportunity to
impress your date with your knowledge
of fine Belgian chocolates. Weekly read-
ers also found the St. Michael's Alley
restaurant an ideal romantic spot. 221
University Ave., Palo Alto 94301; (650)
324-3700.
Best Place to go for a
Run
There probably isn't a better vantage
point to see the breathtaking views of the
foothills than at the The Dish, so why go
anywhere else for your morning run? The
trails at the Dish range from 3.5 miles to
5 miles, with all the inclines your current
physique can handle. And if running isn't
your thing (maybe you haven't done it
since you were forced to run the mile in
ninth grade P.E.) joining the many walk-
ers who frequent the Dish can be just as
enjoyable. Page Mill Rd. at Junipero Serra
Boulevard, Stanford.
Best Place to People
Watch
A skateboarder with green hair and a tat-
tered leather jacket coasts by the giant
egg at Lytton Plaza. Across the street,
an elderly couple holds hands in front
of the Stanford Theatre, appreciating
the array of classic film posters. Two
blocks up, a man with tinted glasses and
a tan ball cap plays guitar and sings.
And three excited teenage girls stroll by
the aspiring musician while discussing
MySpace and Matthew McConaughey.
This is University Avenue Palo Alto's
vibrant nucleus of restaurants, shops and
diverse passersby. It's the best place
in Palo Alto to people watch. When one
peers at the plethora of unique individu-
als, boredom is a world away. Stanford
Shopping Center was voted the second
best place to appreciate people-watch-
ing.University Avenue, Palo Alto.
Best Place to Stargaze
Pity poor Pluto. Defrocked of its plan-
etary status last week, it now joins a
new class of celestial bodies known as
dwarf planets. Not that you could see
the orbital from Foothills Park anyway.
But bring your best scope this week and
you might just spot dwarf planet Ceres
the solar system's biggest asteroid.
Also visible this week are Jupiter and the
teapot of Saggitarius. Better find them
quickly, though, because the park closes
shortly after sunset. (from May through
mid-August, its gates close at 9 p.m.).
Better yet, book an overnight camp site
at Towle Camp and spend the night under
the stars. Viewing the heavens from Sky-
line Boulevard was second best. 3300
Page Mill Rd., Palo Alto; (650) 329-2423.
Best Place for a
Playdate
With a whacky new sign out front,
resembling a Dr. Seuss drawing under
the influence, the historic Palo Alto
Junior Museum & Zoo has for genera-
tions captivated young visitors and their
families decades before "playdate"
became a word, in fact. Today it remains
a strong magnet in today's busier world,
where even playtimes with friends must
be scheduled in advance. With a new
energy, the advisory board of the City of
Palo Alto facility is looking at spinning off
into a non-profit organization so it can
more readily receive donations toward a
major expansion and renovation, a "pub-
lic-private partnership" venture. But the

kids don't care about that stuff. For
them it's a great place to see bobcats,
raccoons, snakes, tortoises, geese,
bats and more snakes. They can par-
ticipate in activities and check out the
latest exhibits in a fun environment,
with new games and recent playhouse
renovations. "Everything is so bright and
interesting! It's nice to have somewhere

Best Place to Take Out
of Towners
From the world's great intellectuals to
art enthusiasts to the 1994 Brazilian
World Cup team, Stanford University
Campus attracts people from all walks
of life, from all corners of the globe with
its sprawling campus and state of the
art facilities. At 8,180 acres, Stanford
boasts one the biggest university cam-
puses in the country and is sure to awe
out-of-town friends. Start the visit on an
impressive high note with a cruise down
the iconic Palm Drive, the mile-long,
palm-tree lined entrance that also con-
nects the campus to Palo Alto. The drive
leads up to the Oval, a favorite spot
for volleyball matches and picnics, and
Memorial Church, where about 7,500
couples have exchanged vows since
1903. Another major point of interest is
the Cantor Center for Visual Arts (runner
up), home to the largest collection of
Auguste Rodin sculptures outside the
Muse Rodin in Paris.
Pretty much everything west of El
Camino Real between Sand Hill Road and
Stanford Avenue; (650) 723-2300
Best Place to Walk the
Dog
While a park may do it for your average
dog owner, those with the most tireless
canines (and the truest grit) need a little
more space like a wildlife reserve.
The Baylands is the perfect place for
that dog that just won't stop jumping up
on your guests, barking at joggers and
yanking on the choke chain. The park of-
fers limitless land to explore. Give your
pooch an hour there, and he'll be spent
just make sure he doesn't fall into a
slough. For the less frantic dogs, runner-
up Mitchell Park will suffice. At the east
end of Embarcadero Road.
Best Teen Thing To Do
With the instantly classic "Snakes On A
Plane" currently taking the multiplex by
storm, how could any other teen activity
possibly compete without landing some-
body in jail? Fortunately, the options for
Going to Movies are a bit more varied
with such venues as the Stanford The-
atre, Aquarius and CineArts available.
Still, nothing gets the juices flowing bet-
ter than a scary snake movie. Second
place? Hanging out downtown, natch.
Best W-Fi Hot Spot
It's a surreal scene. Couples sit face-
to-face, sipping Venezuelan coffee,
but they're not making eye contact.
They're communicating, but they're not
speaking. No, we're not trapped inside
a Simon & Garfunkel song, we're at
Coupa Caf, where the population of
notebook computers just about equals
the humans. Everyone is sending mes-
sages, booking vacations or researching
their latest paper, all courtesy of the
city's hottest public Wi-Fi hot spot. It
still seems surreal. Hmmmm . . . maybe
it was that Mayan hot chocolate? Even
though it's not free wireless, Starbucks'
Wi-Fi took second. 538 Ramona St., Palo
Alto; (650) 322-6872.

ADMINISTER ESTATE OF:
BERTHA L. ANDREWS
1-06-PR-159888
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors,
contingent creditors and persons who
may otherwise be interested in the will
or estate, or both, of BERTHA L. AN-
DREWS.
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has
been filed by: BRUCE L. ANDREWS
and PHYLLIS R. ANDREWS in the
Superior Court of California, County of
SANTA CLARA.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE
requests that BRUCE L. ANDREWS
and PHYLLIS R. ANDREWS be ap-
pointed as personal representative to
administer the estate of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests the dece-
dent's will and codicils, if any, be ad-
mitted to probate. The will and any co-
dicils are available for examination in
the file kept by the court.
THE PETITION requests authority
to administer the estate under the Inde-
pendent Administration of Estates Act.
(This authority will allow the personal
representative to take many actions
without obtaining court approval. Be-
fore taking certain very important ac-
tions, however, the personal representa-
tive will be required to give notice to
interested persons unless they have
waived notice or consented to the pro-
posed action). The independent admin-
istration authority will be granted un-
less an interested person files an objec-
tion to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant
the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be
held on September 18, 2006 at 9:00
a.m. in Dept. 15 of the Superior Court
of California, Santa Clara County, lo-
cated at 191 N. First St., San Jose, CA,

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or file
written objections with the court before
the hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a
contingent creditor of the deceased, you
must file your claim with the court and
mail a copy to the personal representa-
tive appointed by the court within four
months from the date of first issuance
of letters as provided in Probate Code
section 9100. The time for filing claims
will not expire before four months from
the hearing date noticed above.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept
by the court. If you are a person inter-
ested in the estate, you may file with
the court a Request for Special Notice
(form DE-154) of the filing of an in-
ventory and appraisal of estate assets or
of any petition or account as provided
in Probate Code section 1250. A Re-
quest for Special Notice form is availa-
ble from the court clerk.
