Steinvorth Building

San José


Food court! American burger bar! Brewpub/pizzeria! Performance space/movie theater/lecture hall! The Stein, seized from German immigrants during WWII and restored by noted Tico architect Julian Mora in 2008, is a cool bit of Chepe architecture, lit from within by a massive skylight and a place where something seems to be happening at any given time, from weekday coffee to Friday night jazz.
