"nicest pedestrian street in oakland"

Water street is a pedestrian only street in the heart of jack london square. You can walk amongst the great restaurant. I recommend the chicken and waffles followed by a much needed short stroll to ben and jerry's. There is also a movie theater nearby as well for those playing hookie from work. You can also walk along the bay and enjoy the water view. Overall fantastic way to spend a day with or without the family.

"Something for almost everyone."

There aren't a lot of places I like to harp on about. Jack London Square is one of them, however. I've been coming here for close to 20 years now. The changes that I've seen over that time have been terrific. The area has really picked up for the better and it's one place I truly enjoy visiting on a regular basis. Friends used to think I was crazy for driving two hours just to go have a coffee and chill out in the Barnes and Noble while I read the paper. They're used to it now ;)

Seriously. There's a great vibe here. Jack London Square offers a lot for a relatively small area. The best part about it is that it feels "local." It's the sort of place that takes you away from your home without feeling like you've ever left. It's the sort of place you look forward to going back to.

Please, visit here and explore what's on offer. There's something for almost everybody, I'm sure. If you don't find something you like, grab the ferry over the bay to SF and enjoy the salt spray and views :)
