Things To Do
Doppio Zero Mountain View
Amazing fresh pasta and pizza. Highly recommend the marechiaro pasta, the carciofi fritti (crispy artichokes), the potato croquettes, and the burrata with truffle honey.
HiroNori | Craft Ramen
The best ramen we've had outside of Japan
Evvia Estiatorio
Greek food, never disappoints. Anne always orders the octopus appetizer, grilled lamb chops, and galaktobourekos dessert.
Dumpling Hours-Palo Alto
Fantastic soup dumplings. Also highly recommend their truffle salt brussels sprouts.
Flour + Water
Life-changing pasta. The seasonal pasta tasting menu is excellent bang for buck, as far as prix-fixe menus go.
New Port Dim Sum and Chinese Food
Our go-to dimsum place in the South Bay. Silken egg tarts, pillowy mango mochi, and generously portioned guifeibang.
Meyhouse & Meyhouse Jazz Club
Turkish food. The best yogurt we've ever had, and we would happily live off their fresh-baked bread.
Golden Gate Park
Botanical garden in SF. Tons to explore, including the Conservatory of Flowers, the California Academy of Sciences, and the de Young Art Museum.
Exploratorium
Huge variety of interactive science exhibits, great for kids and adults alike.
Legion of Honor
We would honestly recommend any of the many excellent art museums in SF, but Legion of Honor is a favorite of Anne's, partly due to its proximity to the Lands End hiking trail.
Half Moon Bay
Beautiful views, and make sure to check the tidepooling calendar if you want to see some cool critters!
Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve
One of our favorite hiking spots, and where we took some of our engagement photos!
Next Level Board Game Cafe
We basically lived there every weekend for several months, and they know us by name. Large and constantly growing selection of well-maintained games, and very friendly staff.
