With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, are you looking for that special gift for your loved one?  It’s hard to go wrong with sweets for your sweet and chocolate is always a favorite.

One of the perks of living in a diverse community is that we have access to some amazing culinary options and we have an incredible chocolate shop right in our very own Palo Alto.  And this isn’t just any chocolate company….this is Teuscher Cafe, a World-famous chocolate company located in the Stanford Shopping Center.

We should consider ourselves lucky as this is one of just 23 such chocolate shops in the world.  The patch article reported what you can expect to find when visiting their establishment:

Fresh chocolates are flown in from Zurich every week-and-a-half, and the store is full of various deluxe sweets such as chocolate covered candied orange slices and chocolate truffles. The coffee is incredible and the store makes for a great stop when searching for a luxurious treat at the mall or a gift for a special someone.

Teuscher Palo Alto, phone: (650) 384-0916 Fax: (650) 331-0510 chocolates@teuscherPA.com Address: 151 Stanford Shopping Center Palo Alto, CA 94304 USA

Just another reason, and a yummy one at that, why Altaire loves calling Palo Alto home.

“Robust Growth” Forecasted for Silicon Valley

January 25th, 2011 by Altaire Townhomes

Back in November we posted an article which described the health of the Silicon Valley real estate market.  A brief synopsis of the article is that 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. The complete post can be found here.

Some more encouraging news was recently reported. Silicon Valley is projected to experience “robust growth” in 2012. A recent article on Mercurynews.com had all the details.  From their article:

“Robust growth” will return to Silicon Valley in 2012, according to a report today from the Business Forecasting Center at the University of the Pacific in Stockton.While “California remains in the sluggish, early stages of a long, slow five-year recovery,” the San Jose metro area “continues to be the only area in Northern California that is clearly recovering, although Silicon Valley’s growth slowed in the second half of 2010,” according to a news release from the center.

The article goes on to state promising data regarding increases to personal income and job growth, with a decline in jobless rate – all indicators that our local economy is on the road to recovery at a faster rate than the rest of the State of California. Tech is leading the way with strong showings by Apple, Facebook, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco Systems and others.

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.

Stanford in The Orange Bowl

January 3rd, 2011 by admin

Altaire hopes that you had a safe and happy new Year celebration.  But before you transition out of your celebratory mood, make sure you make plans to watch #4 Standford match up with #13 Virginia Tech in this year’s BCS Orange Bowl.

There is already talk of Stanford quarterback, Andrew Luck, going pro and many give the edge to Stanford.  But don’t count out Virgina Tech as they have a potent player in their dual-threat quarterback, Tyrod Taylor, as well.  Both teams have improved over the course of the season.  Stanford has 1 loss and the Hokies have 2, both at the beginning of their season play.  Both teams are very evenly matched so it should be a great game. It is the first meeting between the two schools and the first meeting between Pac-10 and ACC teams in the 77-year history of the Orange Bowl Classic.

Of course, living in Palo Alto, we do have our favorite….GO STANFORD!

Pantone’s 2011 Color of the Year

December 13th, 2010 by admin

One of the easiest ways to add a little personality to a new home is with a fresh coat of paint. But picking a paint color can be a daunting task. It’s a tricky balance between lighting, personality, mood and current trends. Are you one of those people who feels overwhelmed by the process of picking “the right color” and are left with a dozen swatches on walls and no direction? Pantone to the rescue! The leader in color and design recently announced their much-anticipated color of the year.

Pantone’s 2011 Color of The Year – PANTONE 18-2120 Honeysuckle. Pantone’s website describes the vibrant color as:

Energizing Honeysuckle lifts spirits and imparts confidence to meet life’s ongoing challenges.

A Color for All Seasons. Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new world. Let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you and carry you through the year. It’s a color for every day — with nothing “everyday” about it.

So how does one incorporate this playful color into an interior design theme? Their article goes on to say:

Honeysuckle is upbeat and dynamic when used on large areas like the entry area of a house or an apartment. It is an appetite and conversation stimulant when used on the dining room walls. In the kitchen, it adds a fun touch on the table in placemats and other linens (patterned or solid), colored glassware, candles and small appliances. Honeysuckle is a great color to cover up shabby kitchen cabinets, or, if that’s too much of a color statement for you, try repainting knobs and drawer pulls. But be warned – once you try this arresting shade, it can become addictive.

You can read the entire article at the Pantone site here.

Happy Decorating & Painting from the Altaire Team!

Nola Reopens After Million-Dollar Remodel

December 8th, 2010 by Altaire Townhomes

‘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”.
