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.

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
