The oldest Chinatown in North America, this neighborhood is full of colorful lanterns, rich history, and delicious food. Fun fact: this is where we took our engagement photos—so it’s close to our hearts!
Just a short drive (or scenic ferry ride) across the Golden Gate Bridge, this postcard-perfect waterfront town offers stunning views of San Francisco’s skyline, charming boutiques, and some of the freshest seafood. It’s one of our favorite date spots—grab a glass of wine by the marina or stroll along the water for sunset.
This neighborhood is full of history and delicious food. Try ramen, mochi (Fugetsu-Do), or poke (Santo Market) from one of the local spots. Be sure to stop by our friend's store, Minasan, for curated gifts and Japanese imports!
Where we had our very first date 💕—and we still come back for oysters and uni pasta. Upscale yet relaxed, perfect for seafood lovers.
Our go-to spot for late-night happy hours and comfort food. Try their TV dinner trays or just chill on the patio with drinks.
A historic beer garden nestled in the redwoods—ideal for a weekend lunch after a scenic drive or hike near Palo Alto. Family-friendly, casual, and full of local charm. After a meal here, you can go to Stanford Shopping Center or Downtown Palo Alto, both amazing places for an outdoor summer stroll.
Calvin’s favorite taco truck. Authentic flavors, friendly folks, and generous portions. Get the Lengua—you’ll be hooked.
Filled with upscale shops, sidewalk cafes, and great people-watching, this is one of our favorite daily walking routes. With its European feel and Valley Fair shopping right across the street, Santana Row is perfect for a leisurely stroll after brunch or coffee. Some restaurant recommendations: 1. Straits (Asian Fusion) - try their Singapore Satay Sticks and Garlic Noodle 2. Suspiro (Peruvian & Spanish) - try their Ceviche Mixto and Paella Negra (they also have a Speakeasy in the back!) 3. Pizza Antica (Italian) - we love the pizzas here!
