Little Saigon is the heart of Oakland’s Vietnamese community and the neighborhood and its surrounding areas is a wonderful place to experience The Town’s must-try Vietnamese cuisine with legendary spots like @official_camhuong. 

Right now, it’s a great time to visit Oakland’s Vietnamese restaurants - they are staying open later than usual making it easier to get your fix of Phở, Bánh mì, Bánh cuốn, & more. 

Link in bio for our guide on Where to Find the Best Vietnamese Food in Oakland! @oaklandvnchamber

Happy #AAPIHeritageMonth from Oakland! Our trailblazing AAPI community and history runs deep - Bruce Lee opened his first martial arts studio here and the first Asian American film came out of The Town - and is beautiful in its diversity. 

We celebrate this month, and every month, the AAPI cultures, traditions, artists, and businesses that make Oakland so special. #AAPIHM

Did you know West Oakland’s 7th Street was once called the “Harlem of the West”? In the 1940-1960s, it was a jazz and blues center where Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, and Etta James performed at places like Esther’s Orbit Room. “The Music They Played on 7th Street: Oakland Walk of Fame" honors this era. 

Oakland’s California Hotel was also a center for blues and jazz music of the time, hosting entertainers like Lena Horne, BB King, James Brown, and Sam Cooke.

Today, Oakland’s musical legacy continues with institutions like @oaktownjazz @livingjazz @westcoastbluessociety and musicians like @kevchoice. Experience shows at Black-owned @geoffreysliveoakland, and at @yoshisoakland @thesoundroomoakland.
