Food Scene
San Pedro square market is one of the places to visit while in downtown San Jose. The market itself isn't too big two buildings walking distance from each other. In the middle of the two buildings is outside seating. During cold nights they have heaters so it stays pretty warm. Love the outside patio area with plenty of seating even on busy weekend nights.
Numerous great places to eat and drink with both indoor and outdoor seating!

Ike's is one of those famous sandwich places that you dream about in the day and at night when you sleep. It's more than just the meats, the lettuce, or even the tomatoes...it's the combination of everything along with their Dirty Sauce and Dutch Crunch that will make you drool and wanting more, even after eating there. Their Dirty Sauce is to die for...and with the combination of warm, toasted bread and fresh ingredients, the entire sammie is made to perfection.

A sprawling, spacious, sparkling new convention center that can host events as diverse as auto shows, industry conventions, and even state political conventions.
There are rooms of multiple sizes that can accommodate events large and modest, like a large main convention hall that can seat thousands, many smaller meeting and breakout rooms that can fit at least 100 each, and plenty of common spaces that can facilitate breakouts, vendor display booths, or mere social mingling.
