I am a game dev heading to SF for the first time. I will be staying in Palo Alto. Sure would like to know of all of the cool, nerdy and fun things to see and do. I am very interested in the startup scene, and opportunities. Much appreciated.
Palo Alto is definately not SF, they're fairly different.<p>If you come into SF, be sure to check out Noisebridge, Union Square, Alamo Square, The Golden Gate Bridge and get a real burrito (I recommend Taqueria El Buen Sabor).<p>In Palo Alto, be sure to check out the Philz, drive by the Facebook offices, then leave PA.<p>Check out Hacker Dojo in Mountain View.
Maybe checkout this guide:<p>Hackers’ Guide to Silicon Valley
