Excellent Gelato
I have a nice every-other Saturday ritual with my son. We go to Packard Children's Hospital for a fun physical therapy session, (amazing staff, horrible billing system), then to Taxi's restaurant in downtown Palo Alto for a greasy veggie-burger, then off to piano lessons (after washing our hands of course).
Today the therapy started and ran late, so there was no time for Taxi's before taking the deaf kid to his piano lessons. To make amends, I promised Taxi's for dinner for the whole family. And that's exactly what we did, followed by a nice people-watching stroll up and down Palo Alto's main street -- University Ave.
I guess I don't get out much, since I only just noticed that what used to be Swenson's Ice Cream has now become Michael's Gelato & Cafe. Apparently the change happened sometime in December, but regardless it's a great improvement! The ice cream (technically 'gelato' I guess) was absolutely amazing. I tried the coffee, espresso, cocoanut and vanilla flavors. Excellent all around.
A dinner at Jing Jing's followed by ice cream at Michael's Gelato & Cafe has to be pretty close to the perfect inexpensive Palo Alto meal.
