Embarcadero
"Great food, great views, and a place to rest your head."
When I think of Oakland, I think of Embarcadero. Well, that's not completely true. When I think of Oakland, my mouth starts watering and I think of LJ Quinns Lighthouse. The fact that it is on Embarcadero is secondary. Seriously. Go there. The food is awesome, and the atmosphere matches. Service is great and they have plenty of fine beverages to help you enjoy the view of the marina. There's also some great history here. Make sure you take the time to find out how they moved the restaurant from its original location. Oh, and regardless of your sex, go check out the mens room on the restaurant level. There are some people about with a great sense of humour :)
A short stroll to the west is a Motel 6 for those visiting the area. Be fair warned that this area can get a little rough at night. The motel itself is nice enough with a couple of rooms to the rear that face out onto the wharf and the water way. Prices are good for those on a budget and it's a good location to base out of if you are exploring the area.

"Nice scenary and drive. Good amount of stuff to view and do here."
Embarcadero street is a pretty sweet road. Its a road that come close to the water front of the east bay. You can follow it for a good distance and always have the water near by to see.
Even better is that Jack London Square (Oakland Tourist attraction) is on this road.
Jack London Square is an overrated tourist spot. But its nice, because there are
some recognizable named stores here, like Barnes and Noble, Ben and Jerry's, and BevMo.
Theres even a movie theater here.
You should be careful as you drive here because the trains share the road with cars
as you come up to Jack London Square. There is also an amtrak station nearby in case you
want to use the train instead.
To get to chinatown, all you have to do is go up from Embarcadero and Broadway. Then there you go. Broadway, Embarcadero, and Jack London Square all connect. So its pretty easy to get to chinatown.
There are also two smallish parks connected to Embarcadero, Estuary Park and Vantage Point.
No one really uses these parks, but they look great. And if you go there, i'm pretty sure no one will be there.
There are few seafood restaurants along the embarcadero in case you want your seafood fix.
And one time driving out, I found a dance hall where Embarcadero connects with E 7th Street.
So if you want to get your dance groove on, that would be a good spot to go. It looks pretty packed
and from what I can tell, its a formal dance hall. Guys were dressed in slacks and collared shirts
while the women were dressed in really nice looking dresses.
