Rossotti's Alpine Inn
Portola Valley, California, United States of America
It marked the beginning of an entire era, that is the era of the Internet.
Rossotti's Alpine Inn is a famous biker bar in Portola Valley, California, with a history of over 150 years. It was once the object of protest by Stanford University's president and also the favorite tavern for students. Even today, it remains a place where local cyclists come to have lunch. When you are cycling among hills, Alpine Inn is your best choice for a break midway. On rest days, there's even often a line (which shows how much Californians love cycling). Everyone loves the ALPINE SMASH BURGER made with Niman Ranch grass-fed Angus beef, lettuce, tomato, Martin's bun and of course secret sauce.
But its story goes far beyond this.
On August 27th 1976 ,a group arrived at Alpine Inn in a specially equipped van; they were SRI International scientists."They ran a cable from the van’s radio to a computer set up at a picnic table out back and used the radio to connect to another computer at the SRI office and on to Boston. The Internet was born."(Jessica Floum)
All internet products including Funes had their destinies’ gears shifted because of this moment.
