Hey! I’ve been really craving octopus and aguachiles, but I’m new to the area so I’m not really sure what places to try. I really like Mexican octopus ceviche and Pulpo a la Parilla (seared/grilled and glazed octopus). Apparently there’s pulpo aguachiles as well, but I more so want to have the usual shrimp cured-in-lime ones.

Notes

** I was going to ask about ceviche but see there is already a post about it!

** Aguachiles are a spicy seafood dish from Sinaloa, MX. Typically shrimp (or scallops, octopus) are “cooked” in lime for a bit then mixed into a green chili marinade with cucumber, red onion, and avocado. They’re usually eaten with a tostada, and some people (aka me, but I’m sure others too) add extra hot sauce to every bite!

Hey everyone! I enjoy a long day of thrifting from time to time, and some of the places I’ve enjoyed in Oakland were:

Bambino Thrift Shop (College Ave): Was looking for flats/heels, but nothing in my size (5). Also wanted some rings, but they weren’t silver so wasn’t too interested. I think their trinkets/plates/figurines definitely outshine the clothing.

Urban University (Grand Ave): wasn’t overflowing with items, and I found a nice 100% cotton jacket for $5 (no tax bc it’s a nonprofit)

Radbird (Grand Ave): although a bit pricey, it seems worth it for some of their high quality build, and high quality material items

Out of the Closet (Lakeshore/18th): not my cup of tea clothing wise, but found good books

So I think from ^^ I’m looking for thrift stores that have a more curated selection. I’m mostly interested in women’s items, but occasionally shop for my boyfriend/brothers/dad.

I’m also only really looking for cotton, linen, hemp, and potentially silk, cashmere, suede items only because they’d be second-hand.

Does anyone have any recommendations for thrift stores or consignment stores that seem to fit what I’m looking for? Thank you!!!
