The Grand Lake Farmer's Market is a wonderful neighborhood spot. It has tons of organic produce, at very good prices; a lot of specialized things like "the mushroom guy" and of course the Kettle Korn booth; gifts and knick-knacks; the Oaklandish booth; a lot of pre-made food which often includes DELICIOUS French food, awesome Afghan cuisine, and drool-worthy "Shakespearean desserts;" and live music, and just everything. It's a great place to run into people, have brunch, and do some really cheap and healthy grocery shopping. And there are samples of practically everything. Plus, it's year-round!

I have been going to CURE for the last 2 years. I have continued to frequent this place for a few key reasons -
1. The staff have always been warm and friendly to me. When I come in they greet me enthusiastically, ask about the newest goings on in my life, but DON'T talk my ear off during my whole mani and pedi.
2. Because CURE is an eco-friendly place, there are no hard chemicals (like acrylic nail stuff) in the spa. Therefore, when you are there you don't inhale toxic fumes. CURE even hosts a Mom's Night on Wednesdays where moms can bring their babies because there are no harmful products used.
3. Free COSMOS on Fridays and Saturdays (and for me pretty much any day). What's not to love about a free cocktail while I get my manicure on?
In short, I love CURE. It's right in the heart of Emeryville 5 minutes from my office AND there's always parking.
Pros: Tranquil environment, great leg massages from Julie, and awesome services (like spray tanning)
Cons: A little off the beaten path, but well worth it (and there's free parking)

The Bay Bridge is still one of my favorite things about the Bay Area. After living here for 8 years, it is still so fine when I cruise back to town in my Red '63 Buick Riviera or blasting into The City on my motorcycle. Seeing the ships and the TransAmerica building and the hills of San Francisco lets me know that I'm home, and I'll be in the Mission at my house soon. Coming back home across the bridge in the fog is one of the best experiences, and crossing on a sunny day lends such a feeling as you glide under the triple XXX's. It always seems different. Do you think that the architect would have any idea the feeling he would elicit with his creation? So here's to you my under appreciated friend as I vote for you as one of the best things about San Francisco.
Pros: TTRAFFIC so you can, relish the view
Cons: TRAFFIC!

Bunkhorn Grill is a chain and there are probably hundreds of other locations, but the first time I had their food was in Emeryville's Bay Street. Buckhorn Grill can probably be classified as Fastfood Steakhouse. The beef is perfectly prepared to your liking and depending what meal you choose, you get these delicious "Roadhouse Onions" which can be best described as shredded onion rings. Their food is delicious and they guarantee that your food is done in 5 minutes or its on the house.
The location at Emeryville can get pretty crowded around night time, but in only aids in my facination of the place...Despite the crowd, they still keep up their 5 minute standard.

California Pizza Chicken is a great place anywhere (not just in Emeryville). I love their Garclic Chicken pizza and Chinese Chicken salad! The price is a little pricey for pizza but their pizza is delicious! You will be satisfied. The decor is fun and interesting and the place is pretty big. Parking is hard to find, you can either park on the street and use the parking meter or there is a parking garage (don't know the price). The restaurant is on the second floor and a very attractive place to eat as the dim lights give an appealing look. The food is great though and the workers are friendly. I recommend to everyone.

I just purchased my first Bruno Kark vase. I have been enthralled with this potter's work for years, but had not visited his Emeryville studio until this holiday season. What's great about this work? Beautiful craftmanship, absolutely. And a sure and subtle command of form and gesture. It is obvious he is influenced by Japanese potters and designs, but his pieces have evolved beyond these into a new language. And in this wonderful way, you can feel the his commitment in the pots when you hold them. Go take a look.
