Lauren & Justin
Things To Do in (and around) RWC
Little Green A Plant Bar
It’s a coffee shop with plants! The best little tchotchkes too, if you’re looking to pick up a very cute and slightly spooky gift.
Nighthawk
Try the Lolita (Lauren's favorite) and don't miss the people-watching. Seriously.
Timber & Salt
The food is seasonal and always perfect, the cocktail menu is themed (you'll have to guess how), and the bartenders have an amazing record collection.
Big Canyon Trail
You can make a hike in Big Canyon last as long as you like! Watch for mountain lions and strollers, and enjoy the beautiful views.
Milagros Latin Kitchen
We had our first date at Milagro's, and go back all the time - try the Mexican Hipster and the el Jefe if you're into margaritas (you are).
Pazzo
The pizza is unreal, the pasta is fresh, the restaurant is LOUD. We love it, you will too.
Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University
HIGHLY recommend a visit to the Cantor whether you have littles with you or you're taking some time to yourself. The collection is amazing, the rotating exhibitions are always interesting, there are a number of outdoor pieces you can interact with and explore, and entry is free! Do not miss the bronze replica of Rodin's Gates of Hell to the left of the entrance; our favorite.
Saint Frank Coffee
Yes it's in Menlo Park, no it's not THAT far. Justin is obsessed with their coffee tonic.
Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA
Looking to adopt? Do it here. Looking to spend a nice afternoon saying hi to shelter pets and learning about local wildlife? Do that here too.
