Last month, we asked you to help us create a San Jose bucket list — and you didn’t disappoint. Here are the can’t-miss activities readers suggested, finishing the prompt:
Did you really visit San Jose if you didn’t...
“Eat at La Vic’s ” — @pepper_dy
“Get BOGO beers courtesy of Beer Batter at an SJ Giants game” — @carlitosbuey 🍻
“Go to the San Jose Sikh Gurdwara . Built on a hill overlooking San Jose, it’s for the spiritually inclined, or someone just looking for a bit of peace in an architectural marvel” — Warren U.
Get lost in the labyrinth...

You can’t beat the casual nightlife within San Pedro Square.
