Nola Reopens After Million-Dollar Remodel

Posted in Palo Alto

‘N’awlins’ restaurant, Nola, opened its doors once again after a significant remodel of the popular restaurant. Inspired by its namesake, the southern city of New Orleans, Nola boasts an expanded food and cocktail menus, modern new lounge, a colorful Spanish-inspired fountain and an impressive compliment of large high-definition television sets for the patron’s enjoyment. Nola owner, Greg St. Claire, showcased the six week, million-dollar remodel earlier this week.

The heart and soul of Nola has not changed a bit – gumbo served as Mississippi Blues play in the background. But there are some artistic changes that patrons will immediately notice. The remodel/renovation includes an impressive art collection. According to a recent patch article, St. Claire is quite proud of the display. “I probably have the largest collection of folk art from the American South this side of the Mississippi,” St. Claire said. “Only a fraction of it is on display here.”

The building itself adds to the ambiance that is Nola. The structure is actually “part of the historic registry,” St. Claire said and its history seems custom-made for the popular current restaurant and lounge. According to St. Claire, a Spaniard named Pedro de Lemos originally built the two-story building in the early 20th century after he moved to Palo Alto from New Orleans.

So what can you find when you dine at Nola? Their website says it all : Our menu consists of Creole, Cajun, and Southwestern cuisine. New Orleans favorites, such as hurricanes, fresh oysters, gumbo, seafood jambalaya, and étouffée, are just a few of the classics you will find. And the reviews confirm and explain the popularity of this unique dining experience in Palo Alto:

“Great food , great atmosphere , outstanding and helpful service” – boorah.com … “… fun bar and atmosphere” – dine.com … “Great food, great ambiance” – zagat.com … “Excellent service!” – dine.com … “Very fun place” – dine.com

The variety of culinary options on the Peninsula is staggering; Palo Alto is indeed a foodie-heaven. Just one more reason Altaire loves calling Palo Alto “home”.

Stanford is Orange Bowl bound!

Stanford is off to Florida where they will face off against Virgina Tech in the Orange Bowl in Miami on Janaury 3, 2011. The Stanford football team has come a long way under the guidance of head coach, Jim Harbaugh, who inherited a program that posted a 1 -11 season prior to his hiring and now have an impressive 11-1 season, now at #4 in the BCS national ranking. This Orange Bowl should be an excellent game; the two teams have never played and Virginia Tech dominated the Atlantic Coast division, beating traditional powerhouse teams such as Miami and Florida State.

In a recent mercurynews.com article, Coach Harbaugh discussed the Orange Bowl challenge. “It’s a great bowl, and it’s a great reward for our players,” said coach Jim Harbaugh. “Now it’s known where we’re going, and our intent is to win it.”

Good Luck, Stanford. We will be rooting for you!

In other local athletic news and not to be outdone by the Stanford Football program, Palo Alto’s High girls’ volleyball team ended an incredible season, posting many firsts for its volleyball program - The Vikings won the SCVAL De Anza Division title, captured their first-ever Central Coast Section Division I crown, won their first Northern California championship and qualified for an appearance in the state finals for the first time. On Saturday the Vikings rallied for a thrilling five-set victory over Long Beach Poly in the CIF Division I state finals at the San Jose State Event Center. Quite an accomplishment and an incredible ending to an amazing season. Congratulations Vikings! A local paloaltoonline.com article describing this amazing athletic feat can be found here.

Altaire is fortunate to be located in a community as amazing as Palo Alto. We are very fortunate indeed.

Palo Alto gets its own Street Eats Fest @ Edgewood Plaza

Posted in Palo Alto

November 14th, 2010 by Altaire Townhomes

People make their orders at the HapaSF truck, which serves organic Filipino cuisine, during the Edgewood Eats event at Edgewood Shopping Center in Palo Alto on Monday, Sept. 20, 2010. Seven gourmet food trucks served their dishes at the typically empty plaza, turning it into a trendy and busy food court. Event organizer Susie Hwang estimated that 350 people were at the foodie gathering by 5:30 p.m. (Kirstina Sangsahachart/ Daily News)

If you think that the food cart craze has only hit large metropolitan areas along the likes of Portland, San Francisco and San Jose, think again! Palo Alto is drawing some amazingly talented chefs that have opted to hit the road to bring tasty cuisine directly to their fans and followers on social channels like twitter and facebook, catering specialty events and venturing where gastro options may be lacking.

The Peninsula/Silicon Valley and Palo Alto in particular is prime territory for food carts to feed hungry students and plugged-in techies that are short on time for lunch or opt to bring dinner home to the family (many let you order take-out online!)

Recently, Palo Alto’s Edgewood Plaza made news with its new organized Foodie event called, “Edgewood Eats”. 7 Gourmet (and well known) trucks transformed the vacant shopping lot , serving up dinner to the tune of around 350 people! The Plaza launched the weekly event on September 13th, but plans to scale back in winter months, only to ramp back up again in warmer weather. You can follow the event at http://www.facebook.com/EdgewoodEats — Altaire Palo Alto has also made Edgewood Eats a favorite on facebook for your convenience.

“… Among the vendors at Edgewood Plaza on Monday were Curry Up Now with its Indian wraps and rice bowls; MoGo BBQ with its Korean-inspired Mexican food; and RoliRoti with its spit-roasted chicken and potatoes. Kara’s Cupcakes was there to satiate those craving something sweet. –”

Silicon Valley Growing Fast

Posted in Palo Alto

November 9th, 2010 by Altaire Townhomes

According to statistics presented at a recent real estate conference sponsored by Collier International, the economic health of the region is improving. Silicon Valley is experiencing strong economic recovery that should continue in the next several years, bolstered by employment growth at social-media companies and regional corporate powerhouses, such as Intel.

The South Bay is in the top tier of regions leading in the percentage change of its jobs base, faster than the metropolitan areas of Phoenix, New York, Miami, Seattle and a slew of other cities.

According to a recent article in The Registry, The Bay Are Real Estate Journal -

‘Silicon Valley, which created nearly 10,000 jobs in the first three quarters, adding 1.1 percent to its employment base, is the strongest geography in Northern California and one of the strongest in the nation, said Ken Rosen, chairman of Berkeley-based Rosen Consulting Group and Rosen Real Estate Securities.’

Palo Alto is a great place to live. We have it all – wonderful people, beautiful weather and a strong vocational infrastructure which brings the best and brightest to our region. Just another reason that Altaire loves to call Palo Alto home.

Local Palo Alto – Fraiche Yogurt

Posted in Palo Alto

November 3rd, 2010 by Altaire Townhomes

With Halloween and all its treats behind us, and the holiday season fast approaching, you may feel a bit overwhelmed with the amount of food you will be consuming in the months to come. Wouldn’t it be great to find a food that tastes great and is healthy as well? Sounds too good to be true? It does exist and right here in our local community. Enter Palo Alto’s own Fraiche Yogurt, makers of homemade organic fresh and frozen yogurt that is sinfully delicious and outrageously healthy.

A little bit about Fraiche Yogurt from their website:

Fraiche is a homemade, organic fresh yogurt and frozen yogurt café. All of our European-style yogurts are made from scratch, in-house using local Clover organic milk and a special probiotic-focused culture. Our fresh yogurts are the basis for our frozen yogurt. So, whether you feel like fresh or frozen yogurt, you’ll still enjoy the same health benefits.

The YELP reviews are in and it seems that Fraiche is a local Palo Alto crowd-pleaser.

I am a froyo freak! I lovvve lovvee frozen yogurt and have tried many many manyyyyy a places….BUT this one tops them all! Besides the fact that they have fresh yogurt and steal cut oatmeal with amazing fresh and healthy toppings, the frozen yogurt is to DIE for. I am not gonna lie, I have become quite a regular here, especially because I can come here for a lunch time snack, or for breakfast, or for a late night treat since they are open late! I love the soy and pomegranate flavors and I love the home made mochi! Also, their seasonal options (peaches & apple crisps) are to die for! – Iris B.

I love love love frozen yogurt…add the fact that Fraiche is organic and made in-house, makes it that much better. Sure I’ll partake in just about any froyo establishment, but if I’m nearby Fraiche and the craving kicks in there is no where else I would rather go. Amazing yogurt + simple yet yummy toppings = perfection. - Aida V.

Fraiche Yogurt has local shops at 644 Emerson, Palo Alto and on the Stanford Campus. They also just opened a storefront in San Francisco.

Palo Alto has so much to offer locally. At Altaire, we are truly proud to call this great community “home”.
