Midtown Immersive joins San Jose’s night market scene

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:33:11 GMT

There’s a new night market in San Jose, with food trucks, artists, vendors, music and a beer garden — all the usual features you’d expect from one of these popular events. But Midtown Immersive, centered around a century-old grain warehouse off San Carlos Street, launched last Friday with a funky vibe all its own.Most of that comes down to its location on McAvoy Street — a largely industrial area of San Jose just west of the Caltrain tracks and downtown — and the hodge-podge layout, with planter boxes and benches serving as barriers where a sidewalk would be. On opening night, artist Francisco Ramirez worked on a painting in front of the crowd as a DJ played tunes, people sold “San Jose” T-shirts, jewelry and comic books. There was a flower bar, where you could put together your own bouquet, and even San Jose’s famed Antiques Colony had a few tables featuring an array of items for sale.Asiel Design's Jonathan Gomez stands inside t...

EXCLUSIVE: Legendary Los Gatos roadhouse restaurant The Cats is reopening — with new owner, new chefs

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:33:11 GMT

A new chapter in the storied history of The Cats — the circa 1896 roadhouse above Los Gatos — will begin Friday when the restaurant reopens under new ownership.Barbecue, a staple at The Cats, will be back. And the live music will return next week to this building that’s been a stage stop, a speakeasy, a bordello, a realty shop, a sporting goods store and, since 1967, a restaurant and tavern.What’s different is the mission behind the menu. The Cats’ new owner is ChefCentury, a culinary venture launched during the pandemic by South Bay entrepreneur Richard Tam, who wanted to provide a lifeline to struggling chefs by supplying them with a fully equipped commissary kitchen. They cooked meals for delivery, made Ukrainian specialties for fundraisers and every month selected a different charity to support.The only thing missing was customer engagement, and chefs thrive on that, Tam said. He seized the opportunity to buy The Cats brand when the iconic restauran...

Chastain: U.S. Women’s Open at Pebble Beach reminiscent of ’99 World Cup

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:33:11 GMT

PEBBLE BEACH – A nostalgic sensation overcame Brandi Chastain as she came here Tuesday to help promote the U.S. Women’s Open, two months before it descends on these hallowed grounds for the first time.Chastain envisions a landmark event similar to the 1999 Women’s World Cup, which brought overdue recognition to women’s soccer and culminated with Chastain and the U.S. team winning it all at the Rose Bowl.“That’s what I’m really feeling about this,” Chastain said after a media day press conference. “This is a chance for these women to walk into this venue and to know that they belong.”Among those eager to play Pebble Beach is famed golfer Michelle Wie West, who will be coming out of retirement to play in the July 6-9 event.Wie West, 33, said she was too young to truly understand the gravity of what Chastain and that U.S. women’s soccer team’s run did for women’s sports. But she now comprehends it.“It’s so iconic, what that soccer team did for girls and our confidence and what we...

In 2023, Trump debuts a new lie about the 2020 election

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:33:11 GMT

By Daniel Dale | CNNAdd another election lie to the long, long list.Former President Donald Trump has tried for nearly two and a half years to convince Americans that he was the rightful winner of the 2020 presidential election he lost fair and square to Joe Biden. He is still trying today, in 2023, as he seeks the Republican presidential nomination once more.But Trump’s latest supposed piece of evidence, like his previous supposed pieces of evidence, is complete bunk.In a speech to a Republican gathering in Florida on Friday, during which he repeated his usual lie that the 2020 election was “rigged and stolen,” Trump pointedly noted that Biden got more votes than Trump in fewer than a fifth of US counties in 2020. Trump then said, “Nothing like this has ever happened before. Usually it’s very equal, or — but the winner always had the most counties.”Facts First: Trump’s claim that the winner of every presidential election before 2020 a...
