I Love Maps!

I love to look at maps, and particularly enjoy topographic and theme maps. Are you as much of a map lover as I am? Get thee down to USGS in Menlo Park for an amazing selection of maps... and then have them laminated at Accents and Artech in San Leandro

Once or twice a year I accompany Carol down to Palo Alto. She enjoys shopping at Stanford Shopping Center.. the easiest way to get a Bloomingdale's fix if you're not in Manhattan... so I drop her off and then drive to the nearby USGS map store in Menlo Park

My favorite map is the shaded contour map of the United States, and my infrared maps of the Berkeley and New York City. I've a magnificent infrared map of Berkeley, which is so clear and crisp you can practically see Lucy The Cat lounging in our back yard! You can order aerial maps online.

  Restaurants (td.TableHeadlineContent)
 
  Rivoli Restaurant 1556 Solano Avenue
Albany, CA


510-558-9000
Lovely restaurant on Solano Avenue with a pleasant garden in back. Eat dinner, and watch the racoons watch you eat dinner. Rivoli's, Lalimes, Skates, and Breads of India are some of our favorite Berkeley restaurants.  
 
 
  Cugini 2448 Sacramento Street
Berkeley, CA

510-848-7684
If there were a Pantheon dedicated to Pizza, Cheese Board would be Zeus, Arinell would win the award for “most like NY style”, Lococos and Cugini would be lesser gods... and Zachary’s would be mere mortals..

Zachary’s keeps on getting awards, but I think that’s only because the Cheese Board is only open limited hours druing the daytime
 
 
 
  Boran 1736 Solano Avenue
Berkeley, CA

510-527-8611
Excellent Thai food... their Pad Thai is very good. The smells sometimes waft up to our office. We’ve two Thai Restaurants on upper Solano Avenue. Check out Boran and Sweet Basil and let us know which is your favorite. I enjoyed my meal at Sweet Basil far more than a much more expensive dinner at Emeril's in New Orleans
