Cigal Shaham

Great Mediterranean cafe. I've only eaten inside because I didn't like dining where anyone is smoking. The patio has nice fires and people smoking hookahs. Inside the restaurant there are regular tables and booths, better for regular dining. The food is yummy and the portions are large. There are lots of salads to choose from, sandwiches, egg dishes, vegetarian food, more traditional meat items, and hamburgers.
There is both dairy and meat on the menu, it's not kosher.

Beautiful museum.
Has a few small rotating exhibits (photos from 2 of them), usually 1 large rotating main exhibit (photos from the Maurice Sendak one), and 3 permanent exhibits: Jews in America, Noah's Ark (an interactive life size exhibit to enjoy with kids), and an archeological dig (unfortunately only for little kids, very fun to do).

Great museum for toddlers and YOUNG kids.
Extra fun on warm weather days.
Beautiful views and lots of places to play and explore in the fresh air.
Great for toddlers and kids under 10. Not much to do for older kids.

Nice large, open parking lot. Strip mall with a Starbucks, See's Candies, Bagel Factory, CVS, and other shops. All on the grind floor. Easy access from National.

Pros: Starbucks, Taco Plus, a Bank of America ATM, a hairdresser, Subway sandwiches, a pilates studio, a small laundromat, a pizza to go place, a large Vons supermarket, and a store for mailing items (not a post office). A large parking lot, although it's often near full from people taking the train nearby.
Cons: the lot itself feels dirty.
