The Experience, Alameda: The Local Art Exhibit

The Experience:

Celebrate our Ocean over a cup of your favorite espresso drink!

The ocean is precious and vital to our existence. World Ocean Day was June 8, a day we honor our connection to the ocean and are mindful of what more we can do to protect it. All through the month of June and throughout the summer, the Local celebrates our World Ocean with the “One Of Many Tales” underwater photography exhibit showcasing our oceans’ breathtaking beauty and fragility.

Local photographers, Manuel C. and Andra I. are traveling the world and sharing their adventures and the beauty of our natural world. Drop into The Local and view the exhibit, which will be up until September. And have your favorite drink while you peruse these photographs highlighting our majestic yet vulnerable oceans.

Besides all the wonderful espresso drinks, teas, wine and beer, they have an evolving menu of Breakfast pastries and sandwiches, lots of Lunch salads including a Nicosia, and gourmet Lunch sandwiches. Do try their Salami Provolone  – salami, provolone cheese, pesto and tomato on Baguette!

About The Local

New owner Soco Munkhod  reopened The Local after the pandemic to the delight of the community after it had shuttered in December of 2020. Fans hastily came back with their laptops sipping their Lattes and noshing on tasty pastries and sandwiches in this lovely  historic building.
