2008: Hello Tesla -- In a land of "2.0" everywhere, this car IS the next generation.
877-837-5238 is their San Carlos store. They won't confirm the street address but did acknowledge a dealer opening in MPark. Discovered: Me and Baxter www.duck9.com/baxter were walking and out pops a Tesla truck (carrying supplies?)
This is gonna be a fun place to eyball if its anything like the Bev Hills Dealership (nice shots by Yelper "David L" at http:://www.silas.Yelp.com)

I love this concept :-)
First heard about it from a Tweet and then dug deeper. Its set to open August and I will keep y'all updated when I get news. I'll try to crash the grand opening party so if you wanna be my plus one, Yelp message me
For calibration, Plutos I give a 3.6 stars/5 and Coupa gets 4 or 5 stars depending on mercury's position
This restaurant is in the "make a great impression" mode so take advantage. My opinion was formed week of May 19th.
I was referred to it by Jessica (Yes the Jessica that owns Fraiche Yogurt http://www.yelp.com/bi... ). I get the Mushroom Mozz Panini and mix it up with a tri-tip salad. Jessica like the Tri-Tip salad and Patty like the Mushroom Mozz Panini. They have Vietnamese ice coffee 4.25 stars, -.25 cuz its not as good as Mr Bagette)
I'll update if the quality drops or fluctuates down
When a bank exec says, "After this merger of #3 and #4 largest banks in America, we're gonna pass the savings down to consumers"
Do you REALLY believe that it'd happen 1982, 1992, 2002 etc
When it comes to banking choices and its problems
- Universal Default
- Fico dependant and indeP pricing
- general lack of competition
you've not been such a great agency. You still host great events so I'll give you another half star which brings you to a grand total of 0.65 stars.

This starwood property is pure HECK and will be a holiday Inn express SOON
http://www.yelp.com/bi...
when a hotel opens I look for
1) rooms discounted 70%
2) grand opening parties
3) front desk manned by general mgmnt that CARES and comps
4) half the hotel to not work great
5) fresh crack at everything new (spa, steam, workout room, pool)

Yu Shang Mandarin Restaurant & Sushi Bar
Category: Sushi Bars
I was brought here by my friend Paul Levitan who makes cheesecake for Oprah in a nearby facility five years ago... the sushi here is outstanding.
I get the california roll with the fake crab rolled in seasoning, minus the cucumber, plenty of cabbage with dressing (some kinda mayo seasame cream concoction) and the real crab cucumber salad. Then I do an 8 piece Salmon sashimi.
At first I was horrified at the Chinese and Japanese combo but maybe I'm turning over new leaves (err leaf)

Joy Yoga Center
Category: Yoga
Neighborhood: The Heights
Was in for Stanford tourney + Fox News http://www.duck9.com/f... and had a gap in my Thursday evening so I partook in Yoga. Took Mandy W's class and it was really great.
Usually Yoga instructors aren't immersed in the frazzled day-to-day but it was refreshing that she was semi hither tither too. It's also different that she didn't do many adjustments or assists as instructor. Omg, I am so spoiled because I bank on getting yoga affection/attention.
But HEY, if I were cute petite lil Joy Yoga instructor I don't think I'd be touching my sweaty 222 lb frame either











Date





Such a marquee event
Also met Daphne and Tracy who did PR and Daphne is an SF elite since '07- nice! Kelly -mktng director for "4" was super cool
Enjoyed the yelp staff Connie (nice job), Jessica, Nicole on down to Nish (hahaa jk- hey check out my Scottsdale list(s) before you go)
