The East Santa Clara Business District serves as the main east-west gateway between downtown San Jose and the vibrant neighborhoods of east San Jose. The Business District is home to the New City Hall and is a short distance from both San Jose State University and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Library, one of the largest libraries win the country.

Serving adjacent historic neighborhoods, including the Hensley Historic District, Naglee Park, and the colorful enclave of Little Portugal, the East Santa Clara Street Business District is a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly shopping corridor with diverse shops and flavorful restaurants. With new residents moving to the surrounding neighborhoods and revitalizing historic homes, the Business District has emerged as a very desirable place to call home. East Santa Clara Street has a wide variety of family-friendly local and regional-serving restaurants, shops, and services. The Business District offers everything from medical supplies, pharmacies, and health services to unique wedding shops, tailors, tasty ethnic restaurants, and specialty food stores.

East Santa Clara Street was designated as a NBD in 1984 and adopted as a Redevelopment Project Area in 1988. The East Santa Clara Street Business Association meets regularly one a month on the 3rd Tuesday at City Restaurant located at 301 E. Santa Clara Street from 7:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.
