Silicon Valley Restaurant Week 2011
Silicon Valley Restaurant Week kicks off today and features a substantial number of San Jose restaurants. Each restaurant will offer a discounted 3-course dinner menu with at least 3 options for each course. Also menu items will represent the restaurants typical portion size and quality... just because it is 3 courses doesn't mean the portions will be skimped out on. The feasting continues all the way up until September 21st.

New Street Food Incubator Launches!
Just about all of the incubators in San Jose are focused on technology, so it is refreshing to see something different coming into the mix. Food Social is essentially a street food incubator, helping street food vendors grow a successful business.
Later this week, you'll be able to try out the various food innovations these street vendors have come up with at Motif. Full details below! (You can also check out their site over here).
**********************
What
Food Social, a street food marketplace, features locally produced fare by the
Bay Area food scene’s next big talents. An incubator for up-and-coming street
food vendors, Food Social creates a whole new meaning to “eating local”. Eat
new dishes ranging from $5-$8, mingle with new friends, and enjoy a beautiful
outdoor terrace along with drink specials all night.
Friday, September 16th 2011, 5pm-9pm.
Motif Lounge
389 S. First St.
San Jose, CA
$5 with online registration, $10 for registration at the door.
Visit www.food-social.org to register for the event.
Music by Sketchmoney
Why
Food Social was created to shine the spotlight on a different part of the street
food vending journey…The very beginning. The idea behind Food Social is to
provide a forum that showcases up and coming street food vendors in a way
never before experienced in the South Bay. After personally experiencing the
long, arduous path toward building a successful cart, we wanted to open up a
channel for new food vendors who are working their way up the ladder to build
fans and share their fresh food ideas with their local community. Attend Food
Social and take an exclusive look at the delight that is being cooked up right in
your backyard.

September 2011 Downtown Dimension Highlights
Here are my notes from the latest edition of Downtown Dimension:
- Groundwerx is continuing to do a great job helping to keep Downtown clean and beautify the most trafficked zones.
- In 3 and a half months, 360 Residences has rented almost half of its units. They may be able to fill the tower as soon as November, which would be a huge boon for SoFA. As for the other residential high-rises:
- City Hights: 85% sold
- The 88: 70% sold
- Axis: 55% sold
- The San Pedro Square Market is having their grand opening on Oct. 22nd. On Sep 17-18 you will be able to get a preview along with SJ Made and SJ Eats.
- Camera 3 will be hosting video feeds of the world's best operas and ballets.
- The Historic District will be plugging some major retail gaps very soon. Have a look at this:
- Zanotto's Express will be opening soon, offering grab-and-go items (which will no doubt be popular with Downtown residents) at 80 S. First.
- Le Duyen Healthy Spa is coming to 74 S. First St.
- Original Gravity Public House, a beer and sausage restaurant is coming to 66 S. First St.
- Cabritos Mexican Bistro is coming to 72 S. First
- La Lune Sucree is now open in the former A Taste of Paris location (I've already been here twice, it's amazing... well worth a trip)
- Downtown streets are becoming safer thanks to a "Stay Away" program that prevents people arrested for drug violations from stepping foot back in certain zones (such as St. James Park). So far the program has been successful and may be expanded to more zones Downtown.
