You could go to Chinatown and check out some of the restraunts, lots of good places. You could also do some boating on Lake Merrit, but keep in mind that it looks a lot better at night when you can't see the green water

if it were football season, I'd recommend going to a Raiders game and getting stabbed or at the very least getting your ass kicked

You got to eat at Le Cheval
It's vietnamese, but not like regular pho.

If you like sushi, got to go to kirala! (it's berkeley.. very close to oakland)

Then, there is A's. Also, Chabot Science center.

did you go to Yoshi's @ Jack London Square?

I can see why SnakesnFrogs has a bag over his head. Probably should be a white hood.

If you're into shopping try Piedmont Avenue or Lakeshore Avenue. I happen to like flea markets and Oakland has two that work on the weekends. Not as large as that commercial deal down on Berryessa (sp?) in the south bay. Le Cheval, which someone else mentioned is good (downtown area). Also good is Mexicali Rose -- a local institution. The trip around Lake Merrit is about three miles. Try Alameda if you haven't been there.
