Take a Trip Down 'The Avenue'

For this week's Viewfinder, San Bruno Patch took a visit to San Mateo Avenue, also known as "The Avenue," to see the many things that one can do in downtown San Bruno.

San Mateo avenue in downtown San Bruno has been known to be the heart of the city's downtown area. Here, one can find a great variety of things to do. Whether you're in the mood to eat, shop, or simply sit on the benches in the spring weather, The Avenue has it all.

No matter what a person's taste in cuisine is, they will always be able to find something here. The Avenue is home to a diverse collection of several restaurants of different types of food, including Japanese, Korean, Brazilian, Indian, Filipino, Chinese, Italian,  Mexican, and Mediterranean foods, to name a few. 

In addition to all of the many restaurants lining the avenue, there are several jewelry boutiques, clothing stores, and other specialty stores that make for both a great browsing and window shopping experience. 

Whether you're a local who needs some time to relax in the city center or a newcomer who is exploring the city for the first time, take some time to enjoy the many things that San Bruno's downtown has to offer. 

For more information, be sure to check out some of the local businesses listed in our directory.

Mr, Kiely, When they cut school days, isn't the savings in that the employees who directly work withRead More and for the children are deprived of that many days of pay??? Do the principals also lose 5 days pay? Does Hutt lose 5 days pay? Do the board members lose 5 days worth of their stipend. In other words, is the bad tasting medicine swallowed by everyone in the school district in a sincere effort to cure the ills of this school district Or is it just the teachers and the classified workers who are called upon to attempt a restoral of good health, the direct result of poor management and less than admirable leadership that has brought about ths crisis??

Mr, Kiely, Somewhere I heard that they were considering stopping contracting out PE at a largeRead More savings. Was that discussed last week? I was not abe to stay the entire evening. I question why they would have contracted for PE at the elementary level. Isn't that what recess and the balance of lunch time was for? Physical activity??? Thank you in advance for your always knowledgeable answer to my questions.

District cutting school days? The District is showing an agreement with the union which will saveRead More $200K. It doesn't show where the money is coming from, but the amount makes it look like they are cutting 5 days from the calendar. Dr. Hutt said at the last meeting that the length of the school year was still under negotiation.
