Sunday in Oakland

We spent a fabulous Sunday in Oakland. We started out with a housewarming in a glorious loft with the hosts serving bacon, mac and cheese, scones, paella, and more, all home-made. YUMMY!!! Best housewarming ever. We followed that up with dinner at hotspot Plum restaurant. Prices were high considering their portions were pathetic. Won’t be going back there. Food was good, though. We ended with our favorite bar Van Kleef which is now open on Sundays. I always think of the luxury store Van Cleef & Arpels, but Van Kleef is more diamond in the rough.

Mark my words, Oakland is the place to be.

I did a quick Zillow search. Check it out: 2 bedroom, 2 bath, Lakeshore condo for less than $200k. Lakeshore! Give yourself a few years and you’ve got your home paid off! A Lakeshore condo home for $192,000. 1,000+ square feet plus parking. Jump on this, people!
