Shopping
Walnut Creek is a short 5 minute drive from Lafayette or a 2 minute BART ride, and you can ride the free bus from the Walnut Creek BART station into downtown (look for the green bus).
My favorite stores include:
- Anthropologie
- Nordstrom's
- Neiman Marcus
*there are 90 shops and restaurants in Broadway Plaza ranging from mid to high end*
There you can also enjoy a movie at the Century Theater, which offers fully reclinable chairs.
