go visit japan town in sf, i'm suprised no one brought that up yet. while you're at it, go get some grub at the restuarants there. there's also a hobby shop, kinokuniya, crepe, cd, etc. also check out, clement st. they got some restaurants over there too.
oakland:
jack london- not much to do there though, but they have restaurants and a movie theater.
lake merrit- would be a cool spot to just chill out. but it's been cold and raining lately.
you can check out lake shore and grand ave(next to lake merrit);even more restuarants.
hm, pretty much andrew summed it up. oakland has alot of burrito trucks though btw.
can't believe i left this out:
Zachary's Pizza Oakland
5801 College Ave.
Oakland, California 94618
go there and try their deep dish pizza. DO IT. before you miss out.
www.zacharys.com if you're being skeptical about it.
