Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que is just on the other side of Route 87, handy for that "gotta have some ribs" craving.
Take a walk along Willow Glen's tree-lined streets and it's easy to forget you're just blocks away from Downtown San Jose. The sidewalk cafes, vintage boutiques and low-key coffee shops give Willow Glen a small-town feel. You're apt to find strollers parked outside kid's stores and sidewalk water bowls for your four-legged furry best friends. Lincoln Avenue is home to various events, such as the "Art on the Avenue" and "Paws on the Avenue", held annually.

Follow Willow Street east and you'll find the Happy Hollow Park & Zoo and the historic Japanese Friendship Garden, both in Kelly Park. Do you prefer some ghostly entertainment?
