EAT

Julienne This cafe offers patio seating and a mean breakfast (try the crème brûlée French toast with fresh strawberry sauce). But we recommend something even more alfresco: Order lunch to go from its adjacent market, then picnic in 30-acre Lacy Park (free Mon-Fri, $4 Sat-Sun for nonresidents; 1485 Virginia Rd.; 626/300-0790). $$; closed Sun; 2651 Mission St.; 626/441-2290.
