"If eating is your sport, the Oxbow Public Market is the field, with more than 20 food stalls in one place. It’s loud and seating can be a problem, but buckle in and get ready to eat. Start your day with Rebel Coffee and a breakfast burrito from C Casa before packing a picnic with charcuterie from Fatted Calf and the reuben from Loveski Deli. Or, you can slurp down oysters with a view at Hog Island, eat an excellent pie at Live Fire Pizza, grab a fleur de sel cupcake from Kara’s, and have a glass of sparkling at Bar Lucia. Clearly, you can spend a whole day here, and if you’re tired of all the wine tasting there’s a brewery and distillery onsite, as well as a great indie bookstore, Napa Bookmine. " - Christina Julian
