Blog #2: The little big city of San Jose

We are conveniently located in the middle of a bustling little city called San Jose.

With so many restaurants, bars and clubs within blocks of each other, there’s an activity that almost anyone can enjoy.

To further my research on the thrills of downtown San Jose, I went out last night to a small bar located on Santa Clara Street.

Keep in mind that it was purely for the sake of this blog … and, alright, my friend’s birthday.

The crowd was diverse in ethnicities and age, and everyone was out just having a good time.

There are a lot of bars like this downtown that I feel encompass this energy — fun, carefree and a nice social spot.
