Food Scene

Authentic Burmese food (I've been to Burma... it really is!) Try the tea leaf salad; like nothing you've ever had. Also don't miss the samusa soup or the rainbow salad.

Cool old waterfront bar with aged slanting bar inside, nice outside area. Name refers to the first and last bar sailors hit between voyages. Also known as "Jack London's Rendezvous" and was the inspiration for scenes from the Oakland writer's "Call of the Wild" among others.

Great for organic produce, heath food items. Go to Big Joes on MacArthur and Fruitvale if you want meat, much better selection there.

"Big Joe's" is similar to the closer store on 35th. Larger selection of everything, meat dept. seems much fresher.
