Spend a Day in Palo Alto

:I just need about $7 million more to buy a house in Palo Alto and call it home 😅 But as the first city I lived in when I moved to the Bay Area, it’ll always be my favorite. ☀️ Perfect Day in Palo Alto: 🥾 7:00 AM — Hike the Stanford Dish, one of the most iconic trails in Silicon Valley. ☕ 9:00 AM — Grab coffee at @rikyupaloalto, @vervecoffee, or @bluebottle on University Ave. 🎨 9:30 AM — Wander downtown Palo Alto’s tree-lined streets, boutique shops, public art, and free galleries. 🛍️ 11:00 AM — Head to Stanford Shopping Center @stanfordshop, one of the most beautiful open-air shopping centers in California. 🍝 1:00 PM — Lunch at @delarosasf for Italian or @sushirokupaloalto for sushi. ☕ 3:00 PM — Midday coffee at Ralph’s Coffee @ralphscoffee and pretend you’re in the Hamptons for a minute. 🌿 4:00 PM — Explore Baylands Nature Preserve and Byxbee Park. Fun fact: this area was once salt evaporation ponds and is now one of the Bay’s most important wildlife habitats. 🌸 5:30 PM — Stroll through Gamble Garden @gamblegarden and enjoy the seasonal blooms. 🎓 6:30 PM — Walk around Stanford University @stanford. Fun fact: Stanford sits on over 8,000 acres, making it one of the largest university campuses in the U.S. 🍷 8:00 PM — End the day with dinner at Macarena @macarena.group in downtown Palo Alto.
