With the November elections coming up, I realized that I have been neglecting my mayoral duties at the four establishments where I have mayorship in foursquare. Now do I really care about these mayorships? No, but I thought it would be fun to highlight them:


1) El Calderon Restaurant -- http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-calderon-restaurant-mountain-view

El Calderon Restaurant is a small, family-owned place in Mountain View off of El Camino Real. If you want authentic El Salvadorian food, then this is the place to go. And when you think about El Salvadorian food, you think Pupusas. I really enjoyed the Pupusa here...very cheesy and not too oily. In fact, from the salsa chips to the hard taco shells, this place knows how to keep everything light. Service is great and the family is very friendly. Worth visiting.


2) Main Street Cafe -- http://www.yelp.com/biz/main-street-cafe-and-books-los-altos

Main Street Cafe and Books in Downtown Los Altos is half bookstore, half restaurant. I must confess that I have never bought a book here, but am a sucker for either their All-American or BLT sandwich. The bread on the sandwich is very tasty and filling. Add an ice-tea and you have a good lunch at a place where you can have a sane conversation.


3) New Wing Wah -- http://www.yelp.com/biz/new-wing-wah-restaurant-los-altos

New Wing Wah on State Street in Los Altos is your typical Chinese-American fare. It is not the place I would go for authentic Chinese food...that is reserved for places like Hunan Homes, Su Hong and Hong Kong Restaurant, all on El Camino Real. However, the service at New Wing Wah is good and the food was good - unlike so many others in its classification. They have a nice family menu.


4) Peers Park -- http://www.yelp.com/biz/peers-park-palo-alto

Peers Park is a great park for kids and sports. On the sports end, it has tennis and basketball courts as well as a lot of room to kick the soccer ball around. For the kids, there are two play structures - one for toddlers and one for big kids. Also, they have two swing sets as well as a lot of sandboxes. They have a lot of benches for tired mommies and daddies. It is near the Caltrain line so my daughter goes crazy for the train and it has nice clean restrooms.


So there you have it. My current mayorships; though who knows whether or not I will retain my office in the long-term!
