Oakland isn’t the city most people think it is. Located just across the Bay from San Francisco, Oakland’s a bit like a chameleon. While mostly known for its crime, Oakland has many positive attributes: Its great weather, award-winning restaurants, historic provenance, and diverse residents make it a great alternative to pricey San Francisco.

Oakland is not as crime-ridden as many tourists would be led to believe. Rather, Oakland is a beautiful and diverse city with wonderful culture and delicious cuisines from all over the world. Many parts of Oakland are not shown in the mainstream media and this oversight has shamed the culture of this beautiful and vibrant city.
