Oakland is the city east of the SF Bay, often overlooked and misunderstood. It has a deep, complicated history and culture, but I have come to embrace and appreciate Oakland's diversity, where people of all different professions, skin colors, and economic backgrounds live. Not to mention, they have an absolutely incredible food scene, and plenty to see and do – which I have covered in detail in this guide. As a devoted food enthusiast and a resident of this vibrant city, my expertly curated city guide reveals my top 100 spots in the Oakland area. It covers where to eat, drink, and what to do.
