Everything is better from a train
(Even if the train is extremely slow)
@skinnylatte I need to explore CA trains a bit more next time I’m over. Used Caltrain between SJ and SF last week, but need to check out any more scenic options available.
I have used the Cascades line from Portland to Seattle which was beautiful.
@dwlt the Caltrain is so much better now that they’re electric. They used to run much slower and less frequently.
The Amtrak trains are very scenic
California Zephyr is amazing (going to Reno for the weekend is a fun short ish ride)
I also like the coast starlight to Portland
@skinnylatte yep, definitely a big difference from the first time I used it 20 odd years ago!
Going to explore the Amtrak site before my next visit in April 
@dwlt fun! Lemme know if you need any train or food or city advice!
@skinnylatte Thank you! Always need food advice, especially in San Jose!
@dwlt I’ve got a tome.
@skinnylatte Setting a reminder to ask you for some in a couple of months!
@skinnylatte my reminder kicked in for food recommendations :-) Arriving next Saturday (all being well) - staying downtown San Jose for a working week. I won’t have a car but happy to travel. I normally head up to Campbell farmers market on the Sunday morning
@dwlt any dietary prefs?
@skinnylatte not a huge shellfish fan other than crab, other than that I’m fairly open
@dwlt out there, I think the immigrant food is the best
I really enjoy Ramen Nagi in the Santa Clara mall
The green one is very good if they still have it!
Jubba Somali restaurant. Excellent Korean food (I like Danbi and Baekjong. Danbi has some of the best bulgogi I’ve had anywhere)
Good Cambodian at Angkor Chef, Portuguese egg tarts at Pastaria Adega
Best pho in the Bay Area is in San Jose. Pho Kim Long or Pho Dao or Pho Y #1
Also interesting Uyghur food! Kusan and a bunch of others
@skinnylatte amazing, thank you so much!
@dwlt @skinnylatte hey, you didn't ask me but I'll butt in to recommend Mezcal in Downtown, and Luna and Zona Rosa on the Alameda.
@rebe_gc @skinnylatte fantastic, appreciate the tips!
@skinnylatte @rebe_gc Arrived earlier this evening, realised that Mezcal was right around the corner from the hotel - so good! I’m totally stuffed, but I have a new arrival routine, thanks!
@dwlt @skinnylatte nice! BTW, if you didn't try the chapulines this time, put them in your list for the next visit 
@rebe_gc @skinnylatte I spotted them after I’d ordered, definitely will give then a try!
