Food scene

Located right on the waterfront of downtown Oakland. Super great service and gigantic portions of Thai dishes. A little on the pricey side but totally worth it. I recommend the Hat Yai fried chicken and 24 hours Beef Noodle Soup.

A really cute, homey, family owned Korean soup restaurant. It’s a hidden gem in my opinion. I love the galbi soup and garlic chive pancake.

Gourmet burgers, loaded milk shakes, and huge salads. I recommend the California burger with a side of curly fries and a strawberry milkshake. (You will likely have leftovers). I also love the Cobb salad. :)

It is unique local pizza at its best ! Arizmendi has great thin crust pizza with unique toppings! (Corn, potatoes, and mushroom for example). They usually have a pizza for the day that you can order and it’s always fresh and super yummy. Conventional pizza lovers beware...

Sightseeing

The Ferry Building is super accessible by BART (train) and has a little bit of everything. It is a fancy indoor farmers market. You can look out at the water, buy some artisan cheese, chocolate, and wine or dine in at the restaurants. I also love that there are public restrooms that get cleaned regularly.

Super accessible by BART (train) and a fun interactive science museum for all ages. It’s located right on the water so you can also enjoy the view and get something to eat at the Ferry Building.

For when you want to get out of the urban jungle and enjoy some fresh air, sunshine, and exercise. Lake Merritt is a 3.2 mile round trip walk/run. In the summers you can rent paddle boats on the water.

Up past the Berkeley Hills you will find Tilden Little Farm! It is a literal farm where you can feed the animals (it’s bring your own celery) and then take a hike around the well trafficked woods. Family friendly and very popular with the locals.
