"A butternut-squash Old Fashioned? Highballs for $7, and something dangerous called " Lunch Cocktails"? These are some of the tipples featured during this month's first-ever Cocktail Week in Oakland. Running from Nov. 13-23 - in what hopefully will become an annual tradition - the event gathers a dozen restaurants and bars all serving special drinks and snacks. It's put on by Savor Oakland, the brand behind the Oakland Restaurant Collective,"
