Stanford/Palo Alto

Visiting Stanford/Palo Alto for a week in July. Any suggestions of things to see or places to eat while I'm out there?

San Francisco may be a dumpster fire these days, but they still have some great restaurants.

Go see some Redwoods. Not too far away

You have Half Moon Bay, Santa Cruz, & Monterrey all within an hour to an hour & a half drive. I have spent a lot of time around the Stanford/Palo Alto area & there isn't much around that area unless you go to San Francisco or San Jose.

I agree that the immediate area around Palo Alto is lacking things to do. I would hit up Pier 41 in SF (maybe take a ferry ride) and seek out the red woods as others have recommended. SF is an easy train ride from there and you can Uber around the city.

The hell does Palo Alto have to do with SF?

University is actually a relatively fun street but it shuts down early. I'm only ever there for work, and one night is enough for me. It is a nice, longer walk to and from campus. Would be sure you have places to go outside Palo Alto because a week is way too long.

Go to Santa Cruz. Check out Big Sur.
All I do when I go there is thrift and eat poke, other restaurants.

PA is a suburb of San Francisco and would be a sleepy backwater college town if it weren't for San Francisco.

Muir Woods
Some good restaurants around the pier, Cioppino’s is my favorite, then cap it off with some Irish coffee at Buena Vista
Monterey/Pebble Beach/17-mile drive
Sausalito

Do a Zodiac Killer tour and visit all the murder scenes.

I'm aware what Palo Alto is to SF, and the Bay Area, but it's difficult to talk about one and include the other. There is such a social (and distance) disconnect, that I don't understand why you need to say SF is some dumpster in a thread about Palo Alto. Most of my work has been completely abandoned in SF and I spend most of my time in South Bay, including Palo Alto, Mountain View and San Jose. You just aren't putting Palo Alto and SF in the same sentence, so-to-speak, these days.
