Welcome to Sunnyvale
Nestled between Mountain View and Santa Clara, Sunnyvale is a suburban city of roughly 150,000 people. This is a laid back home to some of the most brilliant engineers in the world. Lockheed Martin, Apple, Yahoo, Juniper Networks, and Google are the largest employers in this city, which has created a tech focused culture.
Despite being thoroughly suburban, there’s a lot to love about Sunnyvale. There are several hundred restaurants around town covering every type of cuisine, including some excellent ethnic food. Most of these spots are affordable but there are a few date night-quality dining options.
