Flying

We recommend Oakland International Airport (OAK)! Convenient to the East Bay, and easy to navigate. Other options include SFO, and SJC.

Parking

Parking at Two Pitchers/Lovely’s is limited on the street and not always safe. There is a lot here, for a $10 flat rate. We recommend taking a ride-share and saving yourself the trouble of parking—have an extra glass of wine, on us!

Lodging

There are plenty of hotels and airbnbs for every price point in the East Bay. We recommend areas like Temescal, Bushrod, Rockridge, Piedmont Ave, and Downtown Oakland, for walkability, and maximum fun stuff! Emeryville and Berkeley are also close. We made a handy dandy list of possible airbbs here, and we’ve heard good things about The Moxy Hotel in downtown Oakland, and the Hyatt Place Emeryville. Need help with finding accommodations, or want to split a place with someone else? Let us know!
