Visiting SF / San Jose for Memorial Day weekend -- first time there
Recommendations for food, art galleries, ABG spots?
Thanks fam!
Little Saigon in East San Jose has a LOT of good Vietnamese restaurants, bars, and ABG spots Make sure you take out cash though, since damn near none of them take credit cards. If you like high end shopping/bars like I do, hit up Santana Row at night. Paper Plane in downtown SJ has good cocktails. Koreatown is near by in Santa Clara (10-15 mins drive); this is where all the best restaurants and bars are for meeting girls (food is obviously amazing too)
Food in SF is trash since the authentic spots have been replaced by white washed hipster versions. Bar hopping is wack there too since there's zero fine girls there anymore and just full of musty Midwestern/East Coast hipsters. I would still check out Cityscape Bar at the Hilton though; really good cocktails and views of SF. If you're with a group, hit up Urban Putt in the Mission at night; it's a fun indoor mini golf/bar spot. Dolores Park in SF during long weekends is usually pretty fun; tons of people out there drinking and smoking. You're from NYC so you'll be used to 60% of the city smelling like urine.
