For entertainment, however, West Menlo Park is distinctly quiet with barely a Starbucks on one end and a Safeway on the other although it IS a quick drive/bike ride to various shopping and eating locations. There is Menlo Park's quaint downtown with restaurants, cafes and expensive boutiques - it's about 2 miles away.
