Oakland has good eats but obviously not cheap NY things. Here are some of the things about home that I have been missing...
Bodegas
Oh three dollar turkey and cheese sandwich on a kaiser roll, how I miss thee!!!
Falafels
Jamaican Patties
Jamaican patties come with different fillings and spices but they all have this flaky pastry shell. It's like a savory turnover, kinda similar to an empanada.
