 After slipping down slides and swinging on swings at Piper Park, families of I Cuccioli met for pizza Friday night at Cafe' Lucano's
in Larkspur. "Voglio sedermi sulla sedia grande!" little Cloe said as
she huddled with other kids on the tall stools sipping aranciata and
nibbling pizza margherita. After dinner there was an impromptu marathon
in the corridor in front of the shops. "Pronti, partenza, via!"
Elisabetta said as the kids either raced or wobbled, depending on the
age, rapidly back and forth. "Vinto!" Matteo cried more than once.
Cafe' Lucano's is a fun "piccolo" restaurant serving not only
pizza, but other fantastic entries, too. It's run by an Italian family,
so it's a great place feel a little bit of "Italia". - Cafe' Lucano 574 Magnolia Ave Larkspur, CA 94939

 After 10 years of planning, three years of construction, and one year of migrating across town, the California Academy of Sciences will open its doors to the public for the first time on Saturday, September 27.
Enjoy a two-day celebration of historic proportions in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. The festivities on Saturday will begin at 8:30 am, when Italian Architect Renzo Piano, Executive Director Greg Farrington, Mayor Gavin Newsom, and other officials commemorate the completion of the new Academy with an opening ceremony.
A host of activities will continue through Sunday, spreading throughout
the Music Concourse in front of the Academy. Enjoy live music and dance
performances. Sample sustainably-sourced food from all over the world.
Marvel at Chinese acrobats, and see a band perform on "found"
instruments like bottles, saws, and birdcages. Meet conservationists
and green living experts. Scale a rock-climbing wall.
And that is just what's outside the Academy. Inside, visitors will be
able to explore the four-story rainforest, Philippine coral reef,
living roof, and many other awe-inspiring exhibits for the first time.
On Saturday, September 27, the Academy will be open from 9:30 am - 9:00
pm and admission will be free. On Sunday, September 28 (the first paid
