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.
