Serving food from Turkey, Israel, Lebanon, Greece, Spain, Italy and France, Zucca offers a unique dining experience on Castro. Dine outside if you don't mind the exhaust from the passing cars. You can book with them at Open Table. We once had a super annoying waiter, but other than him, the service has been great.

Zucca pitches itself as premier Mediterranean restaurant, but offers a concoction of Mediterranean, Italian and Asian dishes fused together.
The interior is quite nice, with endless wine selection, dimly lit tables and waiters quietly moving around with wine glasses and huge plates.
The prices are reasonable, but you can't help but think the restaurant is a bit overpriced - the prices would be pretty good if the food at this level was outstanding, but the food quality is just ok. The dishes we ordered were heavily soaked in oil and vinegar, even though the skewered scallops do not exactly require that.
The dessert menu featured a few items typical of any restaurant http://www.zuccaristorante.com/dessert.html and, once again, nothing stood out.
Zucca's is a good place for occasional dinner, but in my case I am not overly impressed with it.

Young's Automotive Service located at 890 Central Ave
in Mountain View is very close to California and Castro intersection. Mr. Young was recommended by a family friend who had used him for many years with no complaints. He gives you fair and honest estimates and he does not mislead you with suggestions for repairs you do not need. I have used him myself for 7 years on many vehicles.

I did about four months of the mysore ashtanga program at Yoga is Youthfulness ("YiY") and it was great - the best practice ever. (I stopped because I changed jobs.) The teachers are talented and most importantly, they are friendly. They do everything with good humor. If you want to learn more about ashtanga or mysore, check out their website.
YiY has other yoga classes, too as well as occasional parties and monthly hikes. They're a really friendly group and the students come from diverse backgrounds.
If you are in the area, please check it out.

This is my gym. There is everything that you could need in a gym. Pool, sauna. In the work out room itself they have many of the same machine, you never have to wait for one to open up. They have stairs, treadmills, elliptical, rowing, bicycle, and tons more which I can't even name! I like that it is organized in that when you want to use a machine you put your name on the board, the time you got on, and the time you got off. That way everybody knows whats going on. They also have mats if you want to stretch, yoga balls, weights. They give you guest passes so you can take your friends once in a while.

Low prices, but have had bad luck with them. As the shop has grown, the quality of work has dropped:
Oil leak problem - they claimed to have replaced the valve cover gasket, but only added sealant.
After service, engine was dirty from coolant and smelled when hot. Had to clean entire engine compartment.
Replaced brakes at 90k miles, but need new ones already at 126K. (we're not hard on the brakes)
I don't recommend them if you're looking for quality work. Low prices -- they have.

Yama is a cozy Japanese restaurant on the backside of the huge shopping mall at El Camino and Grant. The offer typical sushi fare. They have a good sake selection and great service. The Agedashi tofu comes with fish flakes on top, so I have to remember to order it without them.
