Cupertino's first-ever Restaurant Week celebrates city's 70th

"Cupertino is holding its first-ever Restaurant Week In celebration of the city's 70th anniversary. From Monday, Oct. 6 to Sunday, Oct. 12, local dining spots will offer exclusive promotions and specials. Participating restaurants will offer limited-time deals and dishes created especially for the occasion. Cupertino was incorporated on Oct. 10, 1955. For a full list of participating restaurants and what they're offering, visit cupertino.gov/taste70."

"Cupertino is exploring a transition from presenting the annual budget in a PDF format to a more interactive and accessible format using OpenGov Stories. This platform allows residents to explore the budget through visuals, narrative explanations and user-friendly navigation. The city is asking for the community's feedback to help guide this change. To that end, residents and business owners can take a survey by Tuesday, Oct. 14, at cupertino.gov/budgetformatsurvey. Respondents can enter a raffle to win a collectible Cupertino Challenge Coin."

"McClellan Ranch, Cupertino's 18-acre preserve, is offering visitors an interactive experience that brings history and ecology to life through augmented reality (AR). The McClellan Ranch AR Tour app blends real-world scenery with virtual storytelling. Guided by Cooper, Cupertino's robot mascot, visitors can stroll a quarter-mile loop and learn about local wildlife. Along the way, they can tend a virtual garden bed, peek into the habitat of migratory fish in Stevens Creek or discover the role of native plants in the meadow-all at their own pace."
