1 VISIT OAKLAND FEATURES PIEDMONT AVENUE FOR NOVEMBER OAKLAND SPOTLIGHT PROGRAM Oakland, CA (November 1, 2017) —Visit Oakland, the city’s official destination marketing organization, encourages visitors to explore Piedmont Avenue during the month of November. Piedmont Avenue in Oakland is an exciting neighborhood for visitors to explore, offering great restaurants, unique shopping, historic attractions, services and more. “The Piedmont Avenue neighborhood of Oakland is a great place to experience the independent nature of an Oakland retail shopping area,” said Councilmember Dan Kalb. “People of all ages who live, work or shop here love being part of this neighborhood. You will too.” "Oakland's Piedmont Avenue has a neighborhood charm to it. It's a very walkable street, with a great mix of shops, restaurants and services. Restaurant wise, Fentons Creamery is in great company. Piedmont Avenue has everything from the Michelin-starred to the casual, family-friendly spots. We love being a part of this diverse neighborhood,” said Nini Whiden, Co-Owner of Fentons Creamery. PIEDMONT AVENUE Piedmont Avenue offers great restaurants, unique shopping and historic attractions to visitors and locals. From designer vintage clothing, to home antiques, the neighborhood is filled with one-of-a- kind shops and boutiques. November is a great time to explore Oakland’s local shopping, as November 24-26 is Plaid Weekend. Visitors will also enjoy the neighborhood’s immense selection of restaurants from a two Michelin star restaurant, to a classic ice cream parlor seen in Pixar’s “Up.” Mountain View Cemetery, designed by Fredrick Law Olmsted (designer of New York’s Central Park), is a beautiful area in the neighborhood to see exciting architecture and famous burials, including the Ghiradelli family and Julia Morgan. 1.
