Nice! With some great shots of Bocanova front and center!

My friend is one of the founding chefs there and used to work at MarketBar too, as well as other restaurants in NYC....

Nice to see the NYTimes showing some love to O-town!

Excellent Article.

"Michelin raised the stakes when it awarded a star to an Oakland newcomer, Commis. But, as a recent survey of its Oakland brethren showed, Commis is not alone. "

I wouldnt be surprised to see a few more Oakland restaurants get Michelin stars in their next survey. That would be quite a fete.

Right. People are starting to figure out what we've known all along.

"60 percent of the patrons for restaurants in downtown Oakland come from San Francisco or travel through the Caldecott Tunnel."

Oakland's restaurants find strength in numbers - ContraCostaTimes.com

Rockridge used to be the hotspot, but people sometimes mistake that area for Berkeley(I know I live in Upper Rockridge and many of my friends think its Berkeley-even though its way on the other side of the 24 fy-go figure). Well as far as Downtown, Uptown, JLS and Piedmont Avenue, there's no mistaking, its Oakland.
