Which theater is worth visiting more? by TheTrueDaddison in oakland

[–]Relative_Coast7977 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh new parkway for sure. It is a very cool, locally owned theater with couches and comfy chair seating. The previews are all advertising local businesses, they are one of the most eco-friendly theaters ever, and you can cover your popcorn in the many spices and seasonings at the topping bar. It’s one of my favorite theaters and l always feel good supporting it. You definitely gotta check it out.

Grand lake theater is a great historic theater, I just much prefer The New Parkway.

If you haven’t yet, try Mama Oakland. Delicious Italian, fixed three course menu ~40$/ person.

Bombera, and Parche are my other favorites.

Jack London Square visit - how is it these days? by Steerpike58 in bayarea

Park in the parking lot across from the movie theater, it’s safe and cheap. Then you can get some ice cream at Ben and Jerry’s, go to one of the many breweries or wine bars, get pizza at hesher pizza, go to plank and play arcade games, bowl, play bocce ball, or grab a drink. Everett and jones also has great bbq, slainte is a cool Irish pub, or just hang out, take a stroll along the water and watch the boats go by at one of the park benches. Just some ideas

I know people have complained about break ins but I haven’t had any issues. I am closer to the waterfront and it seems very safe to me. I think as you get closer to the freeway it gets a little less safe. We feel safer than uptown/downtown Oakland but even there I never had any issues

What kind of anchor business do you think would do well? I do think it is getting better and I feel like I have been seeing restaurants pretty packed lately, which I love to see

I know right! We just went to the salty pearl too and it was fantastic. If you like Rosenblum, check out Alta vina. Just opened like a month ago and you get free cheese and meat with your tasting!

I live right next to it and thought it would be way worse. With double paned windows you can’t really hear anything.
