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.

Super Duper Burgers Opens In Union Square Plaza Kiosk

The opening brings life back to this kiosk, which in recent years had housed a sort of nondescript cafe, and which had been slated to be an outpost of Tyler Florence's Miller & Lux Provisions, until that plan fell through last year.
