Let's come together as a community to help save small businesses and feed those in need. Chef's Market, brought to you by Chef Rodney Baca, is bringing together local restaurants to 300 S First St. in downtown San Jose. For every meal you order for yourself, a meal is donated to San Jose Ship Kits/Hunger at Home. You can order from any (or all) of the restaurants listed and pick up with touchless delivery at the drive-thru. Runs daily from 11 am - 6 pm until Jan. 12. Order no...w: https://chefsmarket1.square.site/ Photo from: ABC7 News #takeouttuesday #dinelocal #supportsmallbusinesses #chefsmarket #dtsjopen

San Jose looks good on YOU! Angie from Bobo Designs brings more color to San Pedro, so you can be surrounded by art while you dine outside! I wanted to play with bright colors. Something bold, sort of a nod to the color palette of the Tech Museum, Discovery Museum, which I always sort of associate with SJ outside of teal and orange, said. #muralmonday #art #mural #dtsjopen

Meet Tu Tran, a community member who has been volunteering at our local Farmers' Market every week. Tu Tran came to San Jose three years ago from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. A math student at DeAnza College, she almost immediately fell in love with the Downtown Farmers' Market because it reminded her of her home country. "This is like how we market groceries in Vietnam," she says in almost perfect English, which she has learned since coming here. "I've seen the indoor grocery stores, but they are not as good. Farmers markets are part of a sustainable living style, which I'm trying to lead." To read the rest of this story, visit sjdowntown.com/tu-tran. #farmersmarket #dtsjopen
