The "First Weekend of February" Weekend
It's been two years since the first weekend we came to Oakland for Will's interview with Terviva. We had such a wonderful time exploring around the city that weekend, that we've made it a tradition to spend the first Saturday of the first weekend in February to enjoy our city. This year we followed in the footsteps of our first visit by walking up and down College Ave, the main drag right out our front door.
We started the day with pizza at Zachery's Pizza. We continued on the way and stopped at a little market to get an orange for a snack, just like we did our first time in Rockridge! As we kept going, we stopped in at a few shops and art stores. The next stop was The Beanery, a fabulous coffee shop in the Elmwood neighborhood on College, that we stumbled upon that first weekend and have been back to several times since. One of the many things we love about The Beanery is the garden patio out back that gets amazing afternoon sunshine. We enjoyed basking in the sun while enjoying our iced coffee and lemon bar.
As we walked back toward the Rockridge neighborhood of College Ave we stopped at Toast, a great wine bar/restaurant that also gets amazing sunshine into the early evening. Once the sun started to set, we continued on the way, stopping at a few more shops, a quick stop into McNally's, and a small dinner at Will's favorite sushi spot, Rikyu.
We love our neighborhood so much and an excuse to get out and enjoy it is always welcome.
