Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 02:09:28 GMT

There’s a new night market in San Jose, with food trucks, artists, vendors, music and a beer garden — all the usual features you’d expect from one of these popular events. But Midtown Immersive, centered around a century-old grain warehouse off San Carlos Street, launched last Friday with a funky vibe all its own.Most of that comes down to its location on McAvoy Street — a largely industrial area of San Jose just west of the Caltrain tracks and downtown — and the hodge-podge layout, with planter boxes and benches serving as barriers where a sidewalk would be. On opening night, artist Francisco Ramirez worked on a painting in front of the crowd as a DJ played tunes, people sold “San Jose” T-shirts, jewelry and comic books. There was a flower bar, where you could put together your own bouquet, and even San Jose’s famed Antiques Colony had a few tables featuring an array of items for sale.Asiel Design's Jonathan Gomez stands inside t...

A new chapter in the storied history of The Cats — the circa 1896 roadhouse above Los Gatos — will begin Friday when the restaurant reopens under new ownership.Barbecue, a staple at The Cats, will be back. And the live music will return next week to this building that’s been a stage stop, a speakeasy, a bordello, a realty shop, a sporting goods store and, since 1967, a restaurant and tavern.What’s different is the mission behind the menu. The Cats’ new owner is ChefCentury, a culinary venture launched during the pandemic by South Bay entrepreneur Richard Tam, who wanted to provide a lifeline to struggling chefs by supplying them with a fully equipped commissary kitchen. They cooked meals for delivery, made Ukrainian specialties for fundraisers and every month selected a different charity to support.The only thing missing was customer engagement, and chefs thrive on that, Tam said. He seized the opportunity to buy The Cats brand when the iconic restauran...

But she now comprehends it.“It’s so iconic, what that soccer team did for girls and our confidence and what we...
