Perhaps it’s balmy evenings, chilled beverages, beach chairs, barbecues or simply sinking your toes in the sand. With its rolling hills, picturesque vineyards and postcard-ready beaches, our region is the ideal setting for all of the above. In this issue, we offer an enticing mix of business and pleasure, beginning with Summer Flings 2017. Featuring a road trip packed with Pacific charm, “Going Coastal,” by writer Kathy Chin Leong, is the ultimate drive-to retreat, spotlighting a trio of quaint towns—Pacifica, Pescadero and Capitola—where you can savor everything from learning how to paddleboard to luxuriating in a Japanese soaking tub. And for more local excitement, take a look at the section’s “Hot Summer Concerts”—a stellar medley of musical performances throughout the Bay Area. Or bring the party home with “Entertain in Style.” From chic accents that dazzle guests to state-of-the-art backyard kitchens that take cookouts to the next level, this pictorial piece elevates the al fresco experience. Also at this time of year, we’re proud to acknowledge the many corporate and professional leaders within our readership with our 35th annual Business Review. This special section features an insightful overview of last year’s state of the local economy, as well as our annual ranking of Silicon Valley’s Top 100 companies. This comprehensive list of the area’s movers and shakers paints a clear picture of the past, current and potentially future business climate. More stars appear in the V.I.P. Guide: Our A-List of Resources, a semiannual showcase of outstanding companies doing business throughout the Bay Area. In this issue, you will also find an intriguing profile of Los Altos resident and professional golfer Juli Inkster, who’s won nearly every prestigious award in women’s golf. “Driving Force,” by writer Kevin Samson, offers rare insights into Inkster’s dual roles as mother and elite athlete as she gears up to captain the U.S. Women’s team in August during the LPGA’s biggest tournament, the Solheim Cup. Filling long summer days is a breeze with our comprehensive Calendar, bursting with more than 150 things to do and places to go—two months of nonstop fun and entertainment for the whole family. And still more seasonal treats include Style, showing off the latest sizzling summer fashions, and Spotlight, a visual parade of new and unique products, while our detailed Dining Out guide, complete with Best Bites, features an eclectic array of top-rated restaurants, from Michelin-starred eateries to friendly neighborhood diners.
