Speakeasy style underground bar. Great classic cocktails along with very knowledgeable and friendly bartenders
The place where professional drinkers come to drink.
The Bramble and Pisco Sour are a must... Be careful, a few can make you feel tipsy.
A very enjoyeable day! The exhibitions are interactive and fun, not just for kids!
After years of planning, the museum opened in 1990 in the old San Jose convention center. In 1998 it opened in a larger 3 floor venue where it holds four major theme galleries and an IMAX theatre.
The Star Wars exhibit is great. You can see the original costumes, models, behind the scenes videos and learn about the physics of Star Wars.

Really big store with great customer service.
Pretty good place for rock climbing gear. It's always good to try on climbing shoes and they have a pretty good selection.
Beautiful hotel with different restaurants, depending on what you are in the mood for. The sushi, which you can eat in the lobby, is really good. A great, low-key dinner option in an amazing setting!
Fairmont hotel's standard $13/day wireless is free if you sign up for the president's club... which is free to join!
Check out the gingerbread in the lobby during the holidays
Art tour! Do it! Ask the front desk!
Go to the 1st floor info desk and ask for the art tour booklet. There is hidden art in the building like tables made out of cars & the aisle that has the sound of turning pages when you walk by. Read more.

The food was amazing! The Chicken Marsala was very tasty. It will be a good choice for anyone. The restaurant has an old trolly in it that you can eat in.
The Mizithra cheese topping is the greatest but remember that you can order the Managers Favorite and get 2 sauces on your spaghetti in case one isn't perfect that day.
Food is overpriced for the quality, pasta overcooked, chicken breast tastes more like those pre grilled frozen chicken strips sold at Costco, bread was good once, cheap sugar loaded ice cream.
Best song selection in the bay with modern facilities, although with rather premium prices. Go for happy hour! Also, VIP membership offers sweet discounts everytime.

Nice kareoke spot!
Bathrooms are in a different county (or just feels that way) Wear walking shoes!
During conventions (i.e. Fanime), I don't recommend getting at-con food. Go out into the city (if it's daytime) to find more bite for your buck.
After attending Fanime, don't forget to submit a link to your convention report to AnimeCons.com!
