I don’t know about you, but at our house we are really excited about what’s going on at the San Pedro Market. Talk about something that can revitalize downtown and make it a destination. Last week we were at Vino Vino, soon to be our favorite wine bar and hangout. The owners are friendly, the small plates are great and fun and the wine selection (from the tap!) is quite good. While we were there the owner of nearby Morocco’s Restaurant dropped in for a glass of wine and a chat too, and we talked about how great it is to see dropping in for a bite to eat and talking about what’s going to be going on in the market.

If you haven’t been down to see the Market yet, tonight’s your chance. This afternoon and evening the market will be host to their first annual “Eats and Treats” with live music, nosh on food from some great Silicon Valley chefs and sample some tasty beverages too.

It’s all for a good cause, the Housing Trust of Santa Clara County, whose mission is to make Silicon Valley a more affordable place to live by providing loans and grants to make housing more affordable.
