This weekend, we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with music, activities, special guests, and commemorations. Additionally, with warm and sunny weather in the forecast, it's looking like a great weekend to experience the San Jose Berryessa Flea Market or to grab a takeout food special from one of the many restaurants participating in Concord and Oakland Restaurant Weeks.

For more than 30 years, Macy’s Union Square and the San Francisco SPCA have been an important part of San Francisco’s holiday experience. Through the holiday season, thousands of shoppers and holiday revelers could witness a whole lot of cuteness inside Macy’s decorated windows. The animals couldn’t help themselves as they tumbled and pawed for your attention, your donations, and the prospect of a new home.

The wind-down from the holidays is here and it's time to sit back and relax a bit on this first weekend of 2021. While the events calendar may be a little lighter than usual, it still offers up some fun ideas for things to do and enjoy while bringing the energy down a notch. That said, let the low-key weekend commence and Happy New Year!

Our morning routines, and even afternoon routines, typically include a drink that gives many of us that extra pep in our step… coffee. We celebrate National Coffee Day without knowing it every day by either making our favorite roast at home or picking it up on the way into work. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, many locally-owned coffee shops can use our support as they are reopening for the first time in months. Here’s a list of some of our favorite coffee spots that are all located near our stations.
