Places

Lake Merritt

Actor

SFGATE: Is there a place you always have to visit when you come back to the Bay Area? Mahershala Ali: My grandmother’s house. And I definitely hit Lake Merritt when I’m coming out this way. Just being in the Bay Area in general is something that always feeds me and grounds me.

Cuisine

Granola

Granola is a food consisting of rolled oats, nuts, seeds, honey or other sweeteners such as brown sugar, and sometimes puffed rice, that is usually baked until crisp, toasted and golden brown. The mixture is stirred while baking to avoid burning and to maintain a loose breakfast cereal consistency.
