I <3 Alameda and wish I could afford to move there.
Lucky 13 + Scolari's is Alameda's Toronado + Rosamund's (though the beer selection isn't up to par)
Ark (on Park St) is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the bay area: hand-pulled noodles, braised egg tofu, and good green onion pancakes.
Park St feels somewhat like a "small down" downtown, similar to San Luis Obispo's but without all the college bars.
There are lots of beautiful Victorian-style houses, and there are some good school districts. Much of the island is on bad liquefaction zones, but there are nice parts that aren't.
