Elder & Pines
Sean Delizo: The newest addition to the Mosswood community, Elder & Pines is a second hand/consignment store marketed towards the "trendiest" men. If you are looking for a Penny board (formerly known as a banana board) or if you want to get a pair of vintage work boots that someone else did all the work in, this is the store for you.
Taco Truck El Grande
Sean Delizo: Now, being from San Diego, I am definitely biased against the Mexican food in Oakland, but I must admit, out of the countless taco trucks and shops I have visited, this truck must be one of the better ones. Parked on Broadway and 29th 5 days a week, this truck is the old reliable for the Harrison Street neighborhood.
Temescal Alley Barber Shop
Sean Delizo: Let me start by saying, it is not an overstatement that this is the best barbershop I've ever been too. These guys really know their way around a head of hair, and share their bourbon with the customers. Get there early! The line can be over an hour long, but trust me, the wait is worth while.

Cycle Sports
Sean Delizo: Cycle Sports on Grand is your typical spandex bike shop. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, almost any bike part or tool you could need under the sun and free coffee on the weekends. The most notable attribute of this shop is the group rides they organize. From beginner to semi-pro, Cycle Sports is a popular meet-up for spandex cyclists to tour some of the best roads in the Bay Area.
Silver Screen Video Center
Sean Delizo: Quite honestly the best video rental shop in Oakland. Silver Screen offers a loyal customers card, ie after 10 or so rentals, your next one is on the house. They also do a weekday (Monday through Thursday) deal offering 4 rentals for under $10 and let's be honest, in this economy, that's a steal.
