What the creator captured
Jeremy Jacobowitz was immediately impressed by Oakland's diverse food scene and vibrant culture, noting that it feels like a more authentic version of Brooklyn. He highlighted the contemporary Colombian cuisine at Mua as a perfect start to his trip, specifically praising the juicy pork in their signature sandwich. He also enjoyed the city's extensive mural scene, which he felt turned the entire city into an outdoor art exhibit.
