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 »

It's the little things that count.

It's the roasted garlic cloves, perfect grilled tomatoes and oatmeal blueberry pancakes.

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.

This is where adults see movies.

No, I don't mean" adult" as in a seedy Off Broadway rendition of Jack and the  Beanstick  but the perks are as follows:

- Alcoholic beverages
- Assigned seating
- Lounge Areas
-Food, better snacks

The tickets are pricey…More »

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.
