Lunch Spot

Looking for a great place for food for a picnic, play date, or lunch date (or perhaps need catering for an event)?  Try La Boulange de Danville (405 Railroad Avenue, Danville, CA 94526; telephone (925) 838-1200).

La Boulange is a local favorite in the Alamo and Danville area.  It is a wonderful place to pick up breakfast or food for a picnic before heading to the park, to meet for a playdate.  Also for food for a birthday party or other event (they do catering, too).  

I discovered  this place through friends living in the Alamo, Danville, and San Ramon area when all eight of us met for lunch there with our little ones.

La Boulange has locations around the Bay Area, including Lafayette -- and nine stores in San Francisco.

Livorna Park

Livorna Park in Danville is a great place to go on a lazy sunny day.  The park features a volleyball area, basketball court, playground, large grassy area, and picnic tables for small and large groups (also public bathrooms, which can be important).

The only drawback to this park is that it is near a main road.  I wouldn't advise going there without help with more than one child.
