San Francisco is famously foodie, and Berkeley is the motherland of modern California cuisine, but if you wanna get in on the ground level of the next big food scene, Oakland’s where it's at. Touring through Jack London Square and the Historic Warehouse District, you’ll stroll through one of Oakland’s oldest neighborhoods, sampling sweet and savory bites from establishments old and new, from stick-to-your-ribs soul food to bacon-crusted caramel popcorn, refreshing your palate with sips of wine made on premises in one of the neighborhood’s urban wineries. Morsels of local history and culture sate the hungry mind in between bites, leaving belly and brain full. Best of all, the three-and-a-half hour walk will almost be enough to burn the calories you consume. Almost.
