Gilroy ’ s Downtown is rockin ’ too ! The Downtown Live Thursday night music series continues thru August 3 . The “ little town that could ” is shaking things up with great bands and lots of food and family fun available . Things get started at 5:00 and music starts at 7:00 . There ’ s plenty to keep you busy in between .
If you get down there , you have got to try our pal Richard Legend ’ s awesome beef jerky … from sweet and smooth to OMG hot , he ’ s got something for everyone . It ’ s called “ Executioner ” and you can sample all the flavors — if you dare . As hot as some of his jerky flavors are , we keep going back for more !
Plenty of other music happening around the South Bay ; Fortino Winery and Clos LaChance Summer music is rolling on , the Milias and Tempo in Gilroy have music many o ’ night per week , and things really ramp up on the weekends when our local wineries bring in artists playing everything from county music to old school R & B and of course , good ‘ ol rock and roll . Check out @ VisitGilroy , or our very own community calendar @ activesouthbay for all the things you don ’ t want to miss !
Speaking of food ( hungry much , Mr . Publisher ?) Stop in at Cochi ’ s Kitchen in Morgan Hill for some great farm-to-table fare . Also check out his new place “ Local on Main ” for a small but mighty menu . We stopped in recently … you ’ ve just got to go . # greatfood . Looking for a gem in Gilroy ? Check out Café 152 Bread Co . on 4th and Eigleberry St . ( we pronounce it “ Eagle-berry ”). Right across from the post office . Stop in for coffee , sweets , sandwiches and more . Got a meeting , party , or surprise in-law visit ? Café 152 can deliver to your door . Need a place to meet ? Café 152 just might work for you . Plenty of seating , and did I mention the food ? Yup .
Still speaking of food , both Gilroy and Morgan Hill are kinda killin ’ it these days . So much to choose from , so many great options . From breakfast burritos to Filet Mignon ... or salads , I suppose ! It ’ s all here . Not sure where to go ? Just search “ food near me ” on your phone and let us know what you find ! Props to our local restaurants and brew pubs . Is it just me or are beers simply amazing these days ? Sheesh ! Stay hydrated , safe , and helpful !
Go … make history !
