The next time I returned my boyfriend came along with me, and we spent the first half of the day antiquing and checking out the farmers market which sets up every Saturday. Almost every other store on Niles Blvd, the main street, is an antique shop, and there were countless odes to Charlie Chaplin laying around. We stopped at Joe’s corner for lunch, a friendly cafe and bar. An additional bar greets you when you first walk in, which also has a large window with bar stools for customers to enjoy nice weather. On weekends, some vintage cars are set out along Niles Blvd to admire: an old cab, a firetruck, and other vintage mobiles. Later that evening we stopped in The Florence (37349 Niles Blvd, Fremont) for a little refreshment. It was a perfect dive-bar with many locals and a friendly live band.
