San Jose, California

I was born and raised in San Jose, California. I moved back to the Bay in 2021 from NYC and began to explore its restaurants, bars, night life, shops and parts of the city I never had before. The Bay Area is ripe with food, natural and cultural diversity. San Jose is a diverse and vibrant city with a ton of amazing cuisine. Here are some of my favorites, hope you enjoy!
