A
Old Oakland
Old Oakland, immediately west of Broadway, is lined with historic buildings dating from the 1860s to 1880s. The buildings have been restored and new, upscale restaurants have begun to make this a hub of evening activity. The area also hosts a lively Chinese-influenced farmers market every Friday morning – a great time to visit.

Oakland Museum of California
Oakland Museum of California is a must-see. Relevant, fascinating exhibits have included knockout Yosemite photography and interactive Great Quake rooms. (It may close temporarily in 2012 for renovations.)

Ebony Museum
The Ebony Museum, a dense collection in a ramshackle Victorian house, exhibits African and African American art and antiquities. Head upstairs for a chilling perusal of the museum's Black Degradation Art collection.
