Montclair Village
Oakland
The neighborhood gives off a small town vibe with many restaurants and shops to check out. Surrounding trees from the Oakland Hills add to the village’s charm. There are also biking and hiking trails to get some fresh air and exercise.
Lake Chabot Regional Park
Castro Valley
Be out in nature where you can walk beautiful trails - paved and unpaved. You can picnic or go boating. It’s also a popular fishing spot to catch trout and catfish. Swimming in the lake is not allowed because it serves as an emergency water supply.
Paradiso
San Leandro
The restaurant opened their doors in 1996. Since then, it’s become a popular spot. They offer a variety of dishes, including seafood, steaks, vegetarian and gluten-free options. Jenee has her eyes set on the prawns in garlic butter.
Chris’ father’s memoir Unstoppable: The Unlikely Story of a Silicon Valley Godfather is available on Amazon.
