November update: pedicabs + food

I've been busy! Not doing much bike taxi stuff, but other things.

Anyway, we're back out regularly now.

David got quite the workout Thursday night with Vintage Blue our Joy Luck Club pedicab (b. 1952)... between the Fox Theater, Luka's Taproom and other spots it was quite a busy night!

Tonight (Saturday 10pm~Sunday 2am) Dewey is pounding the pavement around The Trappist, Flora, The Layover and other happening Uptown spots.

Call (510) 545-CABS most Thursday Friday and Saturday nights for first class service to multiple downtown Oakland destinations!  You can also check out our twitter to confirm that we're out working.

In local scene news, a partner of the Flora-Tacubaya food-empire told me last week that their new spot Xolo Taqueria (by Flora, Fox, Den, Sears, Uptown) will open "in six months" which is April 2011. Knock on wood! The beer-pizza place there hasn't opened yet either...

NEX Oakland next door to MUA is a very sweet getup: gorgeous breadstick starters, PISCO SOUR (Peruvian national beverage), food sooo good! EBX has a full write-up. And Matthew Stafford's right--Oakland's seeing a counter-intuitive resurgence of eating (and drinking) establishments. Bar Three Fifty-Five. The Trappist. Liege. Beer Revolution. Adesso. Commis: we LOVE Commis!!! Bakesale Betty Satellite---please extend your hours M&A! :) Plum. Vegetarian Filipino. Geisha. NEX. The eateries coming to Jack London Square market any year now. ;) Brown Sugar Kitchen of course. Long-time Chef Edward's continues to impress. And COTTON CLUB. (See next paragraph.) You'd almost think we're having a food.com bubble...

If you haven't been to this secret restaurant yet, you have to get in!! Awesome food+grog == dementedly.good.times. MORE THAN makes up for downtown Oakland's utter lack of bacon-wrapped hotdogs! Stab at it with gin or other spirits.

Happy Holidays everyone!
