Dining here does not feel like Oakland.
I adore it. The mysterious lighting and winter wonderland theme is so cozy. It gives me the feeling of being on top of a roof before the sun sets at a champagne gala in upper east side NY or that SCENE before…More »
If a girl who goes by the name of oznolA were to have an amazing experience hanging out in the city there are a few hypothetical situations that may demonstrate such.

I have bittersweet memories of winter 2010 at Rye.
I once stumbled through the debris of a heart wrenching break up and found myself in front of a rather unforgettable old fashioned. It sent warm sensations throughout my body and ruined me for any…More »

Fivetenburger parks in front of the Layover every so often around happy hour and I made the mistake of not giving it a shot the first time I saw them. I was held hostage and forced to eat food with rather addictive components .

Yet again another beloved bar in Oakland.
I'm kind of glad Oakland is such a tight knit community and that the rest of the world is afraid of it because that means more fun for me. Last night was triivia night and I attended.

I passed giant dandelions on the way into the park and a house made out of a shoe.

I am delighted by this spot. Every time I'm near the SOMA I make an effort to go here for a latte. I don't know what excites me more the coffee, japanese syphon, the newspapers hung on scrolls, or the large open windows. Cute.
