It is officially the second South Bay Weekend of 2015 and we are just barley done wringing out the leftovers of 2014. Please note, anybody that posts an event to our site must use the correct year, 2015, without the correct date your event will be lost in time and will never land in our special event page. There’s always an adjustment period at the beginning of a new year.
Here’s a little nostalgia for 2014, although we didn’t feature a restaurant every month, we put together an easy list of our favorite restaurants that we ate at, wrote about and will return to again in 2015 for a sandwich, a pizza, happy hour, and a burger or two. Take a look.
Below is a varied list of South Bay Events happening this weekend.
