A change of season!

October was a fun filled month with the A's getting into the playoffs and a huge amount of great fun to be had around the Town, but now it is time for November... Time to pull out the warmer clothes, grab the pants with the elastic waist and fully welcome Fall while looking forward to Winter. It is time to start whittling down that Halloween candy and prepare our stomachs for Thanksgiving, a month full of happiness and great food. Of course, don't forget the great events that are happening around the town, including the hope of a few more Ws for the RAIDERS and a welcome back to the WARRIORS!

As always, we will try to Represent Oakland to the fullest with great spots to eat and great events to experience. Don't forget to REPRESENT THE "O" with some of our new styles and Classic Clothing at our RepOakland apparel page.

November comfort foods Eats...

The OTownEater is gearing up for the season with a wide range of choices, following the theme of "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue". Due to some holiday prepping, this post should be up over the weekend, so make sure to check out the RepOakland Food Reviews page.
