Best meal in town, hands down
Having a bad day? Get good food and a new mood at Good Karma. It's a vegan cafe with really good, low cost meals and awesome service. Three items and rice is just about $8. Even if you're not vegan, or don't like vegan food give them a try, and you might be surprised. The owner is super friendly, and if he's serving you, it's almost impossible not to smile by the end, especially if you become a regular.

South First Fridays!
South First Fridays has already made it on to the blog once, but it deserves another mention. San Jose hosts an art walk the first Friday of every month from 8 pm til late. The San Francisco art walk is the first Thursday night, so if you love art, you can fit both in!
The walk is mostly in the SoFa district, South First Street and San Carlos. Some of the bigger galleries include Anno Domini, Works, and ICA. There are also a couple of small galleries down William St. They have some unusual art, so don't miss out! There's also free
concerts going on mosrt months and at more than one gallery, so you can check out the local indie bands. If you're getting hungry, you can head up to 4th
and San Fernando for dinner and cocktails at the new Flames in the bottom of the parking garage. Right next door is a can't miss outlyer on the art walk, Kaleid. By far the biggest gallery participating, they have all types of art, paitings, collages, sculpture and modern art all in one space. Some of the galleries offer free snacks, and this one usually does. Kalied also offers affordable art, as low as $10 - $25. So take in the culture, and stock up if you have any bare walls!

mmm, mmm, pretty good
If you're in the 1st st and hedding area, say, for some business at the county offices, make your day a little more pleasant with a visit to Fantazia Thai Cuisine. San Jose boats some of the best Thai in the Bay Area, and this one ranks in the high middle of what San Jose has to offer. The decor is beautiful, better than most other locations in the South Bay. The service is friendly and the menu has a wide array of choices. It's easy to get to on light rail, and they might even give you a free appetizer of fried banana while you wait. Mmmm, mmm, pretty good.
Crazy Lights and Music
Bowling is one of the few sports you can do without being in shape and make money from! Boost your average at 300, San Jose's lighted and musical bowling alley. Located next to the Oakridge Mall in South San Jose, 300 offers the chance to perfect the game while bowling under neon and blacklights and watching music videos. You can also get good, greasy bowling alley food and beers all night! There's a VIP room in the back, with a full bar, better music videos to laugh, dance, and bowl to, and the best part is you can just walk in. If you're not inclined to bowl there is also pool, and a small arcade. 300 is a little expensive, but definately worth a party or a weekend living it up.
