- Sangria and Shells from Luka’s Taproom
- Three different types of tamales from Cactus Taqueria
- $20 Thai Soul Tray from Bird and Buffalo
- $25 Ramen combo from Itani Ramen

Oakland Restaurant Week: Late Summer Edition is part of Visit Oakland’s Autumn campaign “Spend. Stay. Love.” reminding Oakland locals that “every dollar you spend in Oakland, stays in Oakland, so show your love for the people behind The Town’s businesses”.
