1. Marche Restaurant - CLOSED
It has been on my list forever. So when a foodie friend from NYC is visiting and lets me decide where we want to eat that is local to the Peninsula I chose this.
That and when I think fancy delicious foods I immediately choose French as my high end…More »

(408) 292-6100
Categories:
Used, Vintage & Consignment,
Men's Clothing,
Women's Clothing
Neighborhood: Burbank
Going to this place and trying to sell clothes is like... building up the courage to tell your major crush that you like him. Only for him to tell you that he doesn't think of you in that way, and that he is seeing someone else who is ugly and old.…More »
3. The Republic of Tea
Earl Greyer. Hot.
Haha lame ST:TNG reference I know, but with a Republic of Tea twist. I have been in love with Republic of Tea since I was 16 and worked at a cafe, and that was basically when I was first introduced to designer teas. We would make…More »
4. 99 Chicken
I kept seeing this on the new Yelp feature of most bookmarked. Weeks and weeks go by and I am just like yes... I NEED TO GO HERE. I have been Yelp brainwashed by the masses.
So I send out some emails and call the crew together last night for dinner.…More »
5. Equinox
I have been humbled by Equinox. Not because of it's lavish facilities or the most wonderful spa area that is contained within it, nor by the seer volume of exercise equipment that no one has to wait for, or awed that you can access the club sans ID…More »
6. Redwood Roller Rink
Do you know where all the roller skating nerds are on a Saturday night? I now do... because I have discovered, I'm a closet skate nerd wanna be. One of Nata B.'s girlfriends hosted a super fun Girl's Night featuring Disco Roller Skate at Redwood…More »
7. Red Mango - CLOSED
A coworker sent me this fwd saying that all employees at my company get free froyo here today and also mentioned that his friends were opening this place. So of course they had me right from the start. I mean seriously free is "the value" for sure. …More »
8. Mongolian Hot Pot Little Sheep
At the end of our meal outside he asked for a hug, while he was getting ready for a quick smoke. My mind was set for a warm embrace, something magical occurred.
Our bellies touched first.
Normally in any ordinary date-like situation, I would have…More »
9. Philz Coffee
My coworker mentioned this place as being the place that rivals Barefoot in coffee. Ever since he told me that... it has been in the back of my mind burning to try. I really don't like coffee that much stemming back to my high school days as barista…More »

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,

I wanted to have din with my former coworker Laurie K. since I miss her so very very very much after she decided to go back to school. Being that I had to go buy some stuff on University too we were wandering around places in Palo Alto and she wanted…More »
11. Bistro Elan - CLOSED
The foie gras here is soooooo good. I was like eating liquid fat on a crunchy piece of bread. I really have not had good foie gras until now, it came with a bit of citrus which might have been a mandarin orange. The subtle sweet tanginess was…More »

12. Shabuway Japanese Style Hot Pot
I wanted to go to Amarin because I hadn't been in so long. However, upon walking by Shabuway I see a man slicing thin pieces of kobe-style beef in the window, and like Pavlov's dog, saliva forms in the corner of my mouth and somewhere angels are…More »

Shabu shabu for those not in the know is basically Japanese version of hot pot. Minus the yummy… Read more »
13. Darbar Indian Cuisine
Every Wed is pretty much the same. I watch a movie with a couple friends and then we head out for some eats. I never would think to eat here since it's off the main University choice of eateries, but one of the friends suggested that it was delish,…More »
14. Tarboosh Mediterranean Cuisine - CLOSED
CC: Want to hookah?
Me: Um, I'm not a hooker.
CC: HOOKAH!
Me: Huh? Why do you all of a sudden have a lisp?
Haha. Ok so, that's not how the conversation went at all. But sometimes if you see me just burst out laughing to myself, these are the internal…More »
15. Pulgas Water Temple
I had a day off a several weeks ago, so it was like I want to go where pretty things are. Thus through yelp I found the Pulgas Water Temple! Packed a classic sandwich brown bag lunch and headed over.
When I arrived I found... this place is far less…More »

MSG-y Goodness (6)These are the places that have my favorite additive included in most of their dishes. Yeah it's called TASTE.(Btw do not believe things some people say about MSG being a neurotoxin! Geez get it right people if you are going to make outlandish claims. It is a chemical that stimulates neurotransmitters in the brain to release happy thoughts, much like serotonin! The only real problem with MSG is a lot of people are allergic to it.) |
