Nope. Keep to the west of highway 101.

There's a pile of excellent places to eat on both University and California, which, incidentally, are the two Caltrain stops. My perennial favorites are La Strada and La Bodeguita del Medio.

I'd hop on the train to hit San Francisco too. Let me know if you need someone to drink with.

Stanford's Museum (Cantor Arts Center) and the Memorial Chapel are definitely worth checking out on the cheap.
