Really good Ramen.
Great vegan pastries.
The vegan counterpart to Rico Rico (which is right around the corner). The fried Cauliflower tacos are delicious.
A cute area to walk around. A few of the restaurants I recommended (Mensho, Timeless, Pomella) are in this neighborhood. Plus vintage and gift shops.
A fancier Piedmont Ave. Has bookstores and restaurants.
An area in Berkeley with shops and restaurants where you can walk around.
They have a rainforest with butterflies and dinosaur bones and an aquarium. I love this place.
