San Jose keeps the Bay Area buzzing along. While San Francisco gets more national attention, San Jose emerges as the true capital of Silicon Valley. The city has grown up from its roots as a farming village, now boasting a population that ranks the third largest in all of California.

Who's There?

San Jose is tech central. IBM opened their West Coast operations here in the early 1940s, helping brand the town as frontrunners for post-WWII research and development. Cisco, Apple and Adobe continue the trend, playing huge roles in the local economy. San Jose attracts the brightest minds from around the globe, all in the name of digital development. Men out number women in the tech industry and, as a result, the town has developed as a haven for single ladies looking to take advantage of the good odds for finding a match.

What's Around San Jose?

The sprawling city of over 1 million residents includes a great mix of culture and distinct neighborhoods. A cruise through San Jose on the widely available public transportation system takes residents and visitors through ethnic enclaves ranging from Japanese, Portuguese and Vietnamese to all points of Central and South America. Ethnic celebrations take center stage in San Jose with large public events including Chinese New Year and Cinco de Mayo. A lively restaurant and bar scene is found throughout town with emphasis on Hispanic and Asian fare. Restaurants, food trucks and home chefs rave about the local farms and farmers markets, which provide seasonal and local eats all year round.
