Jesse’s Liked Places

Jesse Johnston: Gorgeous retreat from the craziness that is Silicon Valley. There is plenty of street parking available and you can easily kill a half hour touring the grounds, enjoying the fountain and relaxing.

Jesse Johnston: It doesn't matter if you're a pizza aficionado or the rare pizza muncher, you won't leave here unhappy (or hungry!). They now also offer rice crust pizzas, and you can customize it in limitless ways.

Jesse Johnston: Definitely one of the larger farmers' markets in the area, however it is likewise one of the busiest given Mountain View's central location. Parking can be difficult to find nearby, but it's worth it.

Jesse Johnston: I'm not sure how to describe this store, but if you're in the market for some one-off knickknacks or fun, locally-made gift ideas, this is the first and only store you need visit.

Jesse Johnston: One of several LuLu's in Silicon Valley, they offer terrific tasting Mexicali food in a warm environment with a Hispanic vibe. While I prefer the LuLu's in Palo Alto, this location has better seating.
