Bright ideas and innovation come naturally in San Jose, and we aren’t just talking about the tech industry. The fresh state of mind finds its way into every part of our city, and that makes San Jose the perfect place to host a meeting. With our eclectic collection of neighborhoods, our worldly cuisine, and our vibrant arts and music scenes, there’s always something new to explore.
San Jose boasts 18 neighborhoods – each with its own story. Starting in the center of everything, Downtown is a hub for music, art, food and nightlife. From there, head next door to The Alameda, a newly revived historic residential corridor with all kinds of shops and restaurants. There, you can visit Coterie Cellars and sample flights from the Russian River Valley and Santa Cruz Mountain vineyards. For a moment of peace and quiet (and perhaps a pint or two at one of the many local craft breweries), you can spread out to South San Jose and take in the outdoors. Here, you can really relax, whether you go on a stroll through Hellyer County Park or get a round of golf in at Coyote Creek Golf Club.
San Jose is a melting pot of culture, making it a sure bet to find some of the best food around. From neighborhood to neighborhood, you’ll find cuisines from all around the world and talented chefs blending techniques and flavors to create something new. Try some of the finest pho in Little Saigon, homemade manju from Shuei-Do Maju Shop in Japantown, or Michelin-rated Portguese cuisine in Little Portugal. There are gems to discover in each pocket of San Jose.
Tired of making your own fun? Let the city’s talented artists and musicians handle that. From a cozy coffeehouse set or a Broadway musical, you might discover your new favorite artist or check off a bucket list performance. For visual arts, start at the San Jose Museum of Art, which specializes in artists from the West Coast and Pacific Rim. For a more niche style, the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles features talented artists that push the envelope of what is defined as art.
There’s a buzz in San Jose that’s hard to ignore. Plan your meeting here, and that energy will help people truly connect. When the time is right, San Jose is the perfect place to meet again.
