"This new Caribbean restaurant and bakery in East Oakland reps Trinidad and Tobago hard, with its menu of traditional Afro-Caribbean dishes like jerk chicken or curry goat over pelau rice. All entrees that can be served stuffed inside a Trinidadian roti wrap — one of the world’s great street foods, and a relative rarity in the Bay Area prior to Coco Breeze’s arrival."
" Black Restaurant Week, an annual celebration of African-American, African and Caribbean cuisine nationwide kicked off in the Bay Area on Friday, Aug. 21. With COVID-19 in mind, this year's restaurant week won't include its usual live events and in-person dinners, but the show must go on. "
" This event is a reminder to everyone that support goes beyond a single moment of social change or Black History Month, says John Paul Zapata, the director of public relations for tourism bureau Visit Oakland. And for others, it’s a nudge to try new restaurants and new foods. “I’ve been eating inside my bubble,” Banks says (sound familiar?). “But this week I’m going to go to drive around, to try a new place every day that I can.”
