Palo Alto: Where Anything Can Happen

High tech and higher learning. That’s what gets Palo Alto into the news these days, between the endless ascension of Facebook and Stanford’s research breakthroughs , which are even more regular than their poundings by Cal in the Big Game. It’s no secret that innovation powers Palo Alto. This is where Sergey Brin and Larry Page created the algorithm that would grow up to be Google. Everything from genome sequencing to DSL was developed here.

But despite what the rest of the world may think, Mark Zuckerberg does not own this city. Okay, maybe he does, but in any case the tech explosion isn’t the be-all, end-all of the Palo Alto experience. Like some kind of cyborg creation from Stanford’s Bio-X program, the culture here is a fusion of technology and personality. Geeks hellbent on world domination thrive, but so do sensitive creative types, thanks to the city’s thriving arts scene. Its top restaurants often put a unique stamp on traditional culinary concepts, or blend traditions from around the world to create new ones. The Stanford Shopping Center is nearly as much a local institution as the university. A visit to the Nut House bar on California Avenue will throw anyone’s preconceived notions of Palo Alto nightlife upside down entirely.

The forward-thinking approach trickles down to every aspect of the Palo Alto landscape. It’s a place where even a broken-down shopping plaza that time forgot can be re-invented with a whirlwind $25 million renovation—hello, Town and Country Village! A similar redux saved the Stanford Theatre, which keeps classic films running in Silicon Valley. In this PaloAlto.net guide , you’ll find some of the best that Palo Alto has to offer.
