Midpen’s suggestions: The best lunch stops at Town & Country Village

Only a couple of minutes after the lunch bell rings, crowds of Palo Alto High School students flood the crosswalk connecting their campus to Town & Country Village, a shopping and dining center in Palo Alto. Given its convenience, variety and efficiency, Town & Country Village is a popular place for many students to get food at lunch and in between classes. To find the most optimal lunch spot for Palo Alto High students, I evaluated the preferences of my peers across grade levels.

Japan’s Favorite Boutique Winery in Berkeley Throws a Japanese Pop-Up Party

Broc Cellars didn’t necessarily set out to become one of Japan’s favorite Bay Area wineries. But in 2018, a surprise appearance in the popular wine manga The Drops of God propelled the tiny, Berkeley-based natural winemaker to newfound celebrity status. Soon, Japanese oenophiles were buying up almost as many bottles of Broc’s Vine Starr Zinfandel, the specific wine featured in the manga, as the winery could produce. Today, Broc sells merch with the phrase “Got Grapes?” written in Japanese katakana characters. And travelers from Japan routinely make a special pilgrimage to the winery’s West Berkeley tasting room, eagerly snapping photos and, of course, buying a bottle or two at the source.
