    If this is your stop, make sure to hit Cinco de Mayo Nieves on the other side of the little plaza here (across the street) for some artisanal hand-churned Mexican ice cream!

    Free bike valet open until 8pm at the Fruitvale Bike Station. Powder face for beniets if you have the time.

    The most dangerous thing about this station is trying to find parking in the garage if you're running late in the morning.

    Farmer's market, beignets, hot dogs in the plaza below. Stop and think about Oscar Grant before boarding above. Usually better to head to the front cars on busy commute days.

    Platform signs are the small blue placards right next to stairs and escalators.

    Check out Flirt Nail Lounge downstairs! Great place to enjoy a nice pampering session.

    Stroll around Fruitvale Village, an example of a mixed-used development around transit with housing, retail, restaurants and office spaces. Try the crepes and beignets at Powderface. Read more

    Don't leave anything of value out if you park. Got my window smashed out for a crappy stereo, maybe worth $50 on the street. Or should I say worth half a bindle? Did have 6 months trouble free, though

    Head over to the "Ojo de Agua" taco truck and get the "Beso de Novia torte." The best $6 you'll ever spend!

    If the lot is full and you can't find street parking, go down the street for the $4 lot.

    Expect 10-15 min delays most weeknights after 10:30p for track maintenance.
