This is a foodie's Mecca. If you haven't been here (and you're not on a budget) it's a must go. Lunches and dinners in the upstairs cafe are a la carte and less expensive than the prix-fixe dinners in the restaurant.

Very tasty, inexpensive lunches and dinners with very fresh ingredients. Order your meal standing in line and they bring it to your table. Very healthful fare. Outdoor seating in back.

Another iconic Berkeley restaurant serving Indian street food. Highly popular with locals. It's a madhouse, but the order line moves quickly and by the time you find an open table, your name will be called to pick up your food. Highly efficient. An experience you'll never forget and will tell your friends about when you get back home.

Parks & Nature

One of the truly great botanical gardens on the West Coast. Don't miss the redwood grove across the street from the garden itself. Access is given by the ticket office. Concerts played in the grove during summer months. Also the site of many weddings.

A paved trail with ever renewing views of San Francisco, the Bay, and the East Bay hills. Former site of a Nike missile installation, it is often referred to as "the Nike trail." Part of the trail system that will eventually allow hikers to walk all the way around San Francisco Bay.

Located high in the Berkeley hills with expansive views of the Bay Area, the science museum has many interactive displays that both kids and adults enjoy. Definitely worth a visit.

Shopping

This is THE place to shop in Berkeley. Every town in America would like to have "a Fourth Street." Even if you don't want to buy anything, it's great for the street scene, people watching, great restaurants, etc.
