A 'food court' with all kinds of ethnic foods to choose from. Wazwan Indian food is great, but all others are good too. Cheap, fast, and good grub.

Peet's is a locally-founded coffee roaster that's now gotten bought out, but the coffee is strong and well-brewed. If coffee matters to you, Peet's is a good choice.

Drinks & Nightlife
Old school with an upscale flair. This place was an old prohibition bar, and the wonderful redwood beam ceiling, fancy old dark wood bar and funky doors/windows show its history.
Food is awesome and bartenders are friendly if you're solo and sit at the bar -- where they will also serve you food. Fabulous outdoor patio if the weather allows al fresco dining. Food choices run from burgers to salads with protein, and fancy seafood entrees, so you can spend as little or as much as you want (from $20, with tax/tip).
