So for south bay, we're counting everything south of Palo Alto. Even when it's a bit on the east side of the bay.

🧺Farmer's Markets - San Jose, Campbell, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, and many other cities

Mountain View - 650 W Evelyn Ave, Mountain View, CA 94041

In the bay area, farmer's markets are year round. Our favorite is the Mountain View one. The Mountain View one is close to the Caltrain station and the downtown area. You'll be able to find sit down restaurants, cafes, and boba nearby. Even without leaving the farmer's market you can get tacos, baked goods, rotisserie chicken, and coffee.

🛍️ Downtowns of Willow Glen, Campbell, Los Gatos, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Saratoga, Burlingame, Palo Alto

The downtown areas of smaller cities are cute, walkable (parking is... questionable), and filled with restaurants, cafes, and stores. Most are near Caltrain stations.

🧋 Xing Fu Tang - 1735 N Milpitas Blvd, Milpitas, CA 95035

This is Tina's favorite boba place. It's a chain store from Taipei. At the time of typing, this is the only one in the bay area. They are known for their brown sugar milk drink but Tina likes their Soda and Handmade Jelly. There's a drawer in the store. It's like a temple where you pick one of the sticks from the cup. The stick has a number that corresponds to the number on the drawers. There's little pieces of paper in the drawer. Take one, that's your fortune for the day.

💻 Computer History Museum - 1401 N Shoreline Blvd, Mountain View, CA 94043

A big museum with lots of artifacts about the history of computing. You can even punch your own name on a punch card.

🏞️ Alviso Marina County Park - 1195 Hope St, Alviso CA 95002

If you happen to fly into SFO during the day time, you may fly over red and yellow patches of water before you get into SFO. This is a salt marsh at the south tip of the bay.

South bay is known for amazing Vietnamese food due to the large Vietnamese population.

🍜 Pho Kim Long - 2082 N Capitol Ave., San Jose, CA 95132

Any combination of their beef pho is yummy here. Bun Cha Ca Thit Nuong is grilled fish with BBQ Pork with thin noodle. It comes with rice paper for you to wrap your own roll with the noodles. This is a special here at Pho Kim Long. So special it doesnt have a number on the menu. Definitely watch a video or read a review on this dish if you're new to Vietnamese cuisine to know what to do.

🍜 House of Pho - 1066 E El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, CA 94087

Our go-to pho restaurant. Mostly because they're super fast, busy but never packed, and open past 8 PM. Mitchell likes the lemongrass chicken here and Tina likes the pho special #1 here.

🥟 Saigon Harbor - 1135 Lawrence Expy, Sunnyvale, CA 94089

Although it's name is Saigon Harbor, this is a Chinese restaurant. Come here for dim sum. It's one of the few remaining restaurants in the bay area that still have push carts for their dim sum which is a cultural experience. Mitchell's favorite dim sum is BBQ Pork buns, steamed or baked buns, both are special order items you would need to order from a waiter. Otherwise you can ask for items on the dim sum carts as they come by. Tina's favorite is 炸兩, zaa loeng, a fried chinese donut (savory) wrapped in rice noodle, served with sweet soy sauce.

🍲Thai Orchid - 2591 N First St, San Jose, CA 95131

Mitchell and Tina's favorite Thai restaurant. Our favorites are the Pad Thai and Basil Fried Rice. You can't go wrong here.
