Across the street from Balboa park, yeah.
wow that's a hell of a commute.
my parents live in Northpark/Burlingame, over by 30th & Redwood. I know you didn't ask but there's a couple really good restaurants there if you're stuck in town or something. Station Tavern and Mazara Italian. Tiger Tiger up on El Cajon is damn good too.
In SJC, I'm a big fan of El Campeon on Camino Capistrano and Del Obispo. Helps if you habla the espanol, but they dont mind gringos. It's a counter order type place, so don't expect much on the customer service side.
GP Motorcycles is off the 5, near Washington if you ever need to kill some time on the way home.
Annual membership to the Zoo is pretty cheap too (and a tax write off).
welcome back to civilization
