Uptown

The Tribune Tower

Built in the early 1900s, this 22-story building was home to the Oakland Tribune newspaper and is arguably Oakland’s most iconic building.

HELLO, DECO

The neon lights are indeed bright on Broadway (and Telegraph) thanks to the glowing marquees of Fox and Paramount theaters, two venues that host globally renowned artists. But even if you aren’t in town for a show, step inside to see the gilded interiors and art deco achitecture.

Eats & Drinks

You could literally throw a rock in Uptown and hit an amazing restaurant or bar. While rock throwing is frowned upon, there’s a little bit of everything to try here: mezcal flights at Calavera, mole at Agave Uptown, a bucket of fried chicken at Hopscotch, paella at Duende, Asian-fusion tacos at Belly, and inventive ice cream flavors at Humphry Slocombe. Shall we keep going?
