  The North Berkeley Neighborhood (td.TableHeadLine)
  North Berkeley — Shattuck Avenue Between Hearts and Rose (td.TableSubHeadLine)
 
  Home of world famous Chez Panisse restaurant, but I think its real claim to fame is the French Hotel, where Angel, one of the wizards in the cafe make an excellent and inexpensive Giant Capuchino. I've never had better coffee, so, I've dubbed it the "Best Capuchino In The World"

The Cheese Board, just up the street, makes great breads and KILLER goat cheese pizza. They're extremely tasty - only Bell's Pizza in Amherst, MA and The Boonton Inn in Boonton, NJ were better. It's very different from New York style (go to Arinell, in downtown Berkeley for the most-like-New-York-pizza). Lococo's, about a block north, is another favorite. Saul's Deli has really good pastrami and kishke.. almost (but not quite) like being back in The Bronx. Then again, I can't get pastrami and kishke back in The Bronx anymore... so I guess it's better.

  Be sure to browse the great neighborhood bookstores. Easy Going is my favorite travel bookstore where I first go to buy my travel books and supplies. Several times a month they have guest speakers. Black Oak Books has guest authors speak several times a week. Carol met Spaulding Gray there when she was ordering a book for me.

Berkeley's fine coffee craze began at Peet's. Their flagship store is still on the corner of Walnut and Vine.

  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
