👍 We made reservations online for 4 of us. We all had a great time but we quickly realized for us out of shape people it is physically exhausting.

👍 I really enjoyed the dining experience at Thai Temple. I went to school in Berkeley, but never had the opportunity to come here.

👍 Getting here is a bit of a trek. You have to go up a winding road to reach the lookout and it is quite difficult to see at night (make sure to turn those fog lights on!). We went around sunset, but it was unfortunately too foggy to see any view. Our friend–who is from the area showed us a picture of...

👍👍 Berkeley Bowl, man this place. This is not just an above-average grocery store (catering to a group of old white women who believe they themselves are above average), BUT a place you can find love, maybe.
