Food Scene

I love going here for fresh muffins in the morning. It isn't far by car but I prefer the 45 minute (flat!) walk. Lots of fresh bread and delicious cheeses from all over the world.

When I need a quick bite to eat, I stop in this small taco place for sustenance. Conveniently located by the Downtown Berkeley BART station, it also has a wonderful restaurant next door.

Drinks & Nightlife

I love the beer Fieldwork makes and think it is the best in the Bay Area. If you are a fan of craft beer, it is worth a trip.
