Places in Time / A toast to the Bay Area’s historic 20th century-and-still-going watering holes
Redone in the mid-1980s, the bar has, says General Manager Michael Allen, "a kind of Love Boat look," with blue carpeting, vaguely 18th century navy blue chairs that roll around the room on wheels, and decorative embossed-glass panels. While the '80s look may be back, that's not the main attraction. What's great about the Skybar is the 12th floor view of the downtown skyline; the tranquil Happy Hour that lasts from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., when triple- strength Manhattans cost $3.25 instead of $3.75; and the crowd, which consists largely, but not exclusively, of World War II vets. … [Read more...] about Places in Time / A toast to the Bay Area’s historic 20th century-and-still-going watering holes

For the Bay Area’s top Taiwanese food, head south
The restaurants of the South Bay strip malls offer a tour of Taiwanese cuisine both familiar and foreign. You can easily find stinky tofu, deep-fried and served with pickled cabbage and spicy sauce, all components that lessen the fermented soy to a whisper of its once-bold self. It’s especially good at Grand Harbor in Fremont, and Mama Chen’s and Southland Flavor Cafe in Cupertino, where the prickly funk is lighter and doesn’t linger as long on the tongue. The soft green slices of stir-fried bitter melon also have an astringent flavor, but are tempered by a silky, salty duck egg sauce; it’s an ideal vegetable side dish, and best at Red Hot Wok, a Cupertino standby. … [Read more...] about For the Bay Area’s top Taiwanese food, head south
