Burmese food, sooo delicious. Expect a wait and lots of noise inside but it's well worth it.

"Corner diner serving up Southern hospitality with its popular fried chicken, pies & breakfast items." This is the real deal-- been open 50+ years. Great for breakfast.

The BEST fried chicken sandwiches ever created. You'll return to Oakland just to get one. Don't mind the line, it moves quickly. They might even give you a cookie while you wait! Lunch only.

I'm not vegan but I love it - they only have two dinner choices, but they load your plate with about six different things, and you'll leave feeling full and healthy.

The original location of this low-key, Tibetan vegan restaurant. They post their menu twice a day, and it's the healthiest food you'll ever eat. http://shangri-lavegan.com/

Located in the back of a dive bar, this is the tastiest Lebanese food around. Limited seating inside but you can do take-out or bring your food to the Bank Club bar in the front and enjoy a drink while you eat.

One of several family-friendly beer gardens to pop up recently. Lots of picnic tables outside with a different food truck each evening. Wonderful on a nice day/evening. Lots of kids and dogs in the early hours.

Essentials

There are too many restaurants on Piedmont Ave to begin to list, but I've listed this as the closest upscale grocery with lots of organic options. Expect a lighter wallet when you leave.

Arts & Culture

I LOVE this museum! It has exhibits on CA history, art, and really interesting and well-done rotating exhibits relevant to Oakland history and culture. It's one of my favorite museums anywhere. On Friday evenings they also host a weekly event with food trucks, entertainment, and half-price admission. Don't miss it! http://museumca.org/friday-nights-omca
