Palo Alto? What the f**k am I going to do in Palo Alto?

[Big A]

I'm going to a family thing in the general vicinity of Palo Alto / Menlo Park / Portola Valley, etc. Saturday night is free. What's there to do (besides drive into San Fran, which seems like a hassle). I could go try to pick up middle aged gold-diggers at the Rosewood, I guess. Other than that, I'm out of ideas.

Man. I lived in palo alto and I couldn't even tell you. We mostly hung out in cupertino or mountain view or sometimes took the trip to the San fran

In all the time I lived near Palo Alto (just north) I don't think I ever went to Cupertino or Mountain View on purpose. For fun, we would drop acid and go hang out at fake lake.

Acid it is! Thanks . . . .

It looks like a trip to the city is in order. Pro: My cousin has an actual parking space (in a garage, no less) she isn't using. Con: It's in the Mission.

 

[itsstillmatt]

That's great if you want to go to the Mission.

We went mostly for Asian food snacks and drinks. High schoolers with nothing real to do

Did you live in PA?

 

[indesertum]

[CYstyle]

take the cal train to the city

 

[lemmywinks]

Went to high school in Palo Alto. It's a really nice environment to live in but it's pretty impossible to find something to do on a given night. Don't know how old you are, but if you were my age (19) there isn't much I could recommend. There's a stripclub in Sunnyvale that I went to on my 18th birthday.

Palo LOLto.

 

[bringusingoodale]

I thought by now there'd by a happening scene there, not least inspired by Indian immigrants? Indian food?

 

[MarcInDentonTx]

Wow. Shallow Alto. You're stuck with Tony's Nut House or Gordon Biersch. Mo definitely want to hop that CalTrain and go where the mens wear teh jackets.

Is PA really that boring? What do all the Stanford kids who don't have startups do?

 

[Big A]

I am back, it was boring as advertised. People watching @ the Rosewood on Sand Hill was funny in a sort of "we're all doomed" kind of way. Mission district was more . . . naked then I remember. My foodie relatives took us to an ok Chinese place in the general vicinity of the Crowne Plaza (Su Hong?).

I was only there for 2 1/2 days. Seemed like plenty.
