What to do in Palo Alto/Menlo Park

Work in a banking group out here in the Peninsula. What do you guys do here outside of work?

I find it's pretty hard to meet people unless I go up to SF. There aren't a lot of other banks here in the Peninsula/Palo Alto area, so there's even less ways to meet people. Any thoughts on meeting new people?
