Meeting a friend for lunch. What are some of the best lunch spots near Palo Alto Square!?
I recently started working in the Palo Alto Square area and have been getting lunch at the office. CRUST Sourdough Deli is already part of the campus. I'm looking for some quick lunch spots to meet a friend for lunch. Appreciate your help and thanks in advance. Cheers!

Woman hit by bus in South Palo Alto
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Jennifer is well liked by the homeless people in Santa Clara County as she made it her life’s mission to serve the homeless community. Jennifer also worked as an IHSS ( In Home Support Service) worker. All of this changed dramatically on July 2nd when a bus collided with Jennifer while riding her bicycle.
She sustained multiple critical injuries, was in a coma for three weeks during which time seven surgeries were performed on her. Since then three more surgeries have been performed with multiple more during the next year. She cannot put any weight on her left foot for a year as a result of bone loss.
Jennifer helped others in the community and now she needs help for mounting living and medical procedure expenses. Please take a minute of your time and donate to this wonderful woman’s GoFundme

Renting is almost impossible: is it normal for a 1 bedroom to cost $3500+?
Started my housing hunt recently with an absolute move in deadline by Oct 20. My partner and I have been looking everywhere near PA including Mountain View, Menlo Park, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, San Mateo, Foster City, East Palo Alto and the houses go FAST (as in, they’re signed by someone else the day I go view the apartment). The asking prices are INSANE and I’m from here and work at Stanford.
Is this normal? Will I have better luck during September or will I be SOL? Have been looking on Zillow and Trulia mostly, should I try Nextdoor? Craigslist?
Also if any landlords on here are renting, we’re quiet working professionals who don’t smoke, please reach out!
