DAYCATION CA ATI ATION AT TION

Alameda Point Antiques Faire

By Janet Fazio

Black Friday and Cyber Monday have nothing on the first Sunday of each month. That’s when Alameda Point, the former home of the Alameda Naval Air Station, turns into a shopper’s paradise. Showcasing more than 800 dealers on the old aircraft runways, the Alameda Point Antiques Faire is a one-stop outdoor shop for vintage and antique home decorations, clothing, furniture, jewelry, art, pottery, books and other collectibles. All items are guaranteed to be 20 years old or older. With a goal of seeing what the Antiques Faire is all about, a friend and I headed out to Alameda Point on the first Sunday of March, arriving around noon, which was apparently well after the morning crowd had dissipated. I’m not much of an antiques person, but I was drawn in by the various dealers featuring upcycled goods. From old windows turned into chalkboards and magnet boards, tables fashioned from old doors, mirrors that can serve as plate chargers and vintage wooden boxes used to create drawers under an old army cot, you can find everything you need to bring some of your home decor Pinterest pins to life. It appears that regulars to the Antiques Faire have a shopping strategy strategy. If you’re looking for something in particular, ar arrive early. If you want a bargain, stay late, or arrive a towards the end of the day. It’s when dealers d are more in a bargaining mood than a “repacking their trucks� mood. Don’t let hhunger pangs iinterrupt your shopping. There sh ar are dozens of food tr trucks serving up cu cuisine from around the globe for your dining pleasure. din

With the San Francisco skyline and the Bay Bridge in the background, on a nice day, you can enjoy lunch with an amazing view. Or, in keeping in the spirit of “everything old is new again,� if time permits, stop in Oakland’s Uptown district for brunch or lunch. The area has turned into a haven for foodies and it’s just a few minutes drive from m the Webster Street Tube. Once home to the Oakland Floral Depot building, Flora’s art deco decor will draw you right in. They also have one of the best grass fed burgers I have ever eaten. Duende is housed in the same building. Their tapas earn four stars. Or, indulge in fried chicken benedict with Creole mustard hollandaise at Pican. Things to know: The Antiques Faire is located at 2900 Navy Way in Alameda. Parking and shuttles from the parking lot to the faire entrance are free. Pets and smoking are not allowed. Admission is $15 for those arriving between 6 and 7:30am, $10 between 7:30 and 9am and $5 after 9 am. There is no admittance after 3pm. Children under 15 are free with a paying adult. Courtesy flat carts are available to move large objects. The facility includes customer loading zones, a customer lounge and ample portable toilet facilities. Rain will cancel. For more information, call 510.522.7500 or visit A New Take on the Dining Table AlamedaPointAntiquesFaire.com.

POSADA

Ceviche Tostadas at Posada In keeping with the newness of spring, this month I wanted to share a few of the area’s newer restaurants that I found to be notable. By Janet Fazio

If you like smokey, fire roasted flavors, set your GPS for Posada in Livermore where the menu is full of home runs. Chips and salsa are one of the features on the tapas menu. The dish includes thick chips, rolled corn tortillas, and mild bean, green, and red salsas. The only thing missing is a hot salsa. Corn tostaditas topped with fresh tilapia ceviche and tamarind and tomato chutney is a perfect small plate. The shrimp cakes served over a bed of roasted kale and corn have an incredible smokey BBQ flavor, making them a close second. Don’t forget your veggies. The roasted vegetable salad with blue cheese and walnuts is outstanding. Prices range from $6 to $17. Skip the beer and wine and order a goblet of sangria margarita instead. PosadaCatering.com or 925.606.1004.

IZZY’S PLACE

Not to be confused with the former San Ramon restaurant with a similar name, Izzy’s Place has elevated Alamo’s presence on the foodie map. Izzy’s roasted piquillos peppers stuffed with kale, golden raisins and asiago cheese make a sweet and aromatic start to a meal. There are just three of them, and they are small, so you may want your own order. The skuna bay salmon served on a small bed of spaghetti squash with avocado puree and tomato fondue is a home run. The textures and flavors complement each other well. Personal size pizzas are popular menu items. Friends enjoyed the prosciutto pizza with arugula, shaved parmesan and truffle oil. Entrées range from $14 to $36. Full bar. IzzysPlaceAlamo. com or 925.820.1711.

Read Our Reviews On

The açaí (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) berry has arrived at the Danville Livery. Research on the reddish, purple fruit native to Central and South America has focused on its antioxidant benefits. Regardless if it will really help prevent disease, it absolutely does make a delicious, filling and uber healthy meal option. Açaí-Me’s Mt. Diablo Bowl won me over. They blend their açaí with apple juice, bananas, kale (no, you can’t taste it), almond milk, strawberries and flax seed. The frozen mixture is topped with bananas, strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, granola, honey and goji berries. Bowls range from $4.50 to $13.50. The staff gets bonus points for being both speedy and allergy aware. EatMyAcai.com. (Excerpt from Tastes of Your Town – Janet Fazio)

TASTE OF SING MA

Vietnamese is out and Malaysian and Singaporean are in along Pleasanton’s Main Street. With everything from satay to fried calamari, you can make an entire meal of Taste of Sing Ma’s various appetizers. Be sure to order Penang Pohpaih though. These steamed spring rolls filled with crispy vegetables are a sweet start to a meal. Spice your day up with firecracker chicken, a colorful dish full of strips of chicken breast, onion, and red and green pepper sauteed in a spicy (not too much though) basil sauce. If you’re going the noodle route, try chow kueh teow, which features rice noodles stir fried with prawns, squid, egg and bean sprouts. EntrÊes range from $8.95 to $29.95. Beer and wine only. TasteOfSingMa.com or 925.249.9448.

KANISHKA’S GASTROPUB

Walnut Creek has a great new option for tapas lovers. Kanishka’s, will sooth your craving for something different. The roasted beet salad with mixed greens, shaved gouda and citrus vinaigrette is a good place to start your evening. The grilled cabernet marinated New Zealand lamb chops served with roasted curry and mango mint serrano salsa were flavorful, but slightly overdone. Same goes for the cumin grilled angus flank steak. The chicken korma poutin was absolutely perfect. The chicken is slow cooked in a yogurt sauce with cardamom, tomato and almond. It’s served over french fries, but we subbed those for chick peas. Tapas range from $5 to $15. Beer and wine only. Kanishkasgastropub.com or 925.464.7468.

Festival

The Semi-Annual Fine Arts and Crafts Festival features more than 150 professional artists throughout California and the western United States. Artisans will showcase original paintings, sculpture, photography, jewelry, clothing and other fine works along North Main and Locust Streets in Walnut Creek.

junior Civic Arts Education Teen Theatre presents the story of a small-town girl, Millie Dillmount, who comes to New York City in the 1920’s to marry for money instead of love. Millie soon begins to take delight in the flapper lifestyle, but problems arise when she stays at a hotel owned by the leader of a white slavery ring in China. Like the film on which it is based, this musical combines new tunes with some previously written songs.
