Everyone goes to Lake Merritt to walk around the lake. People will be playing music, drumming, on the water people are kayaking and rowing, there's a great restaurant overlooking the water called the Lake Chalet. Around the Lake Merritt area, there are tons of lovely shops, yoga studios, places to grab a bite and other interesting places like the Oakland Spice Shop (my favorite)!
