The beautiful thing about Radiant
Orchid is it works just as well in
the boardroom as it does at
social functions, as exemplified
by the Stefano Ricci
Micro-Diamond Stripe tie.

PENINSULARESTAURANTBOOM In the past fewyears, some truly noteworthy restaurants have started to appearup and down the Peninsula, with afew gaining recognition even on thenational level. It has been a slow transformation, butthe area has begun tomake a name for itself due some amazing chefsand nationally rated restaurants.
Topping the list of nationalacclaim on the Peninsula isBaumé in Palo Alto. ChefBruno Chemel’s menu isdeeply rooted in French cuisine, and the peerless dining experienceoffered has earned Baumé a 2-starMichelin rating.
Also earning national attention is the Village Pub in Woodside. Don’t let the quaint name fool you — this Woodside outpost offers an exceptional wine list and puts out
innovative fare prepared withthe finest ingredients available,earning it its own Michelin rating.
A favorite of APR San Mateo & Half Moon Bay Manager, Ron Gable, is Locanda Positano in SanCarlos, which has turned into aneighborhood favorite due to its

great atmosphere,service and food,including excellentpastas and pizzas.
Speaking of pizza,from artisan thincrust pizzas atVesta in RedwoodCity, to deep dish
offerings at Patxi’s in Palo Alto and Blue Line in San Carlos and Burlingame, notable pizzerias
are showing up all over the Peninsula. Even the San Francisco establishment, Pizzeria Delfina, hasset up shop in both downtownBurlingame and Palo Alto.
Also popping up on the Peninsula is the reimagining of classic Latincuisine. Michele Korn, Menlo Park Office Administrator, loves both
La Viga and LV MAR inRedwood City, whereManuel Martinez, the chefof both, offers excellentLatin contemporary cuisine.
The coast has its share of delicious fare too. Therotating seasonal menu
of contemporary Italian dishes atHalf Moon Bay’s Pasta Moon hasbeen a favorite for 25 years, while thewonderful ambiance and romanticpatio at It’s Italia shouldn’t bemissed.
The list of the best food spots on the Peninsula can go on and on, and from dedicated local patrons, to national ratings and acclaim, people are beginning totake note.

A remarkable
transformation is
happening in the
Peninsula’s luxury real
estate market. Classic,
traditional styles are
being phased out in
favor of new, modern
examples of
architecture that stand
on their own as pieces
of fine art. These
modern trends have
extended into the
bathroom with a
distinctive twist, as a
minimalist, eco-friendly,
and almost Zen-like
sensibility meets the
latest in cutting-edge
technology and
aesthetics. Of all the
latest trends in luxury
bathrooms, here are a
few favorites:
MINIMALIST WOOD
AND GLASS ACCENTS
Some of the finest
consumer products
designed in the Bay
Area are of minimalist
design, though
incredible in output and
functionality. Likewise,
many luxury bathrooms
on the Peninsula
include some fantastic
features while retaining
a minimalist design.
Subtle accents of wood
and glass, paired with a
neutral palette of slates
and pewters, work
together to form a
soothing quality. The
result is a space that
retains a sense of
calmness, even when
combined with
advanced technology.
HIGH-TECH FEATURES
Technology in the

bathroom is also
becoming en vogue
throughout the
Peninsula. From digital
showers that are
customized based on
preference of
temperature and water
delivery, to touchless
faucets with sensor
technology, innovations
are popping up
everywhere. New
medicine cabinets
featuring an LCD
television and MP3
hookup are even
coming onto the
market, turning your
morning routine into a
multimedia experience.
ECO-FRIENDLY
FIXTURES
Water-saving and
energy-saving features
are everywhere in
luxury bathrooms on
the Peninsula. In a
region prone to
droughts, designers are
taking their
environment into
account to create
luxury bathrooms that
help, not harm, the
ecosystem around
them.
Today, smart luxury is
the way of the world,
and it is showing up
everywhere in the
home.�

The mountains running up
the Peninsula provide a large
wilderness area that's great
for hiking and mountain biking.
High tech is not only for the
Silicon Valley, with big names
populating the view driving
up 101, from veterans like Oracle,
to relative newcomers like
Evernote.
And just in from 101, you will
find some of the most affluent
towns in the country, including
Atherton, Menlo Park, and
Hillsborough.
You can enjoy extensive trails for
horseback riding, as well as
equestrian events in Woodside,
take in the beautiful views while
hiking the Portola Valley Loop,
bike Skyline Boulevard to the
city, or even go horseback riding
on the beach in Half Moon Bay.
Outdoor recreation isn’t all the
Peninsula has to offer, with the
downtowns of the communities
that run up the bay all offering
unique shopping, dining and en-
tertainment options. Burlingame’s
two downtown areas are lined
with shops, gourmet wine stores,
boutiques, and jewelers, while
wonderful destination restaurants
abound in downtown San Mateo.
THE PENINSULA’SCantor Arts Center at Stanford UniversityCantor Arts Center is believed to be

the largest collections of Auguste
Rodin sculptures, with 199 mostly
bronze works by Rodin. The center
houses a vast collection that includes
ancient and contemporary pieces from
