The sourdough pizza place from chef Nick Yapor-Cox, NICK’S PIZZA, is adding breakfast pastry and coffee service to their repertoire. Starting Thursday June 20th, look out for scones both sweet and savory, croissants, and loaves of bread, all from Yapor-Cox and his high school friend Aron Ford. The pair’s combined experience includes Acme and Arizmendi, and all the baked goods will utilize the same sourdough starter used in Nick’s pizza crust. They’ll be pouring coffee from Emeryville’s McLaughlin and serving yogurt parfaits made with housemade yogurt. Breakfast service will be available Tue-Sun at 8am. 6211 Shattuck Ave. at 62nd St., Oakland, 510-658-3903.
On Wednesday June 19th, catch the newest addition to the Dishcrawl tours with a walking food tour of Old Oakland. The crawl takes you to four different restaurants, with insider details on each location and the neighborhood. The crawl begins at 7pm, and tickets are $45. The meeting location will be emailed 48 hours before the event, and the restaurants on the tour are a surprise! You can follow Dishcrawl on Twitter for hints.
Oakland’s HOPSCOTCH is celebrating a year in business with a pretty sweet deal. They’ve put together a three-course “greatest hits” menu of their favorite dishes for $30 per person.
