Brilliant writing. My favorite is description of the Berkeley Bowl: "...Valhalla for a very particular kind of GRWM creature in the Bay....". Been that way since it opened in the old bowling alley in 1977.

I agree, Although Chez Panisse mention gets a close second!

Excellent guide.

But could some rephrase it all so that someone in an older generation knows what I just read?

Genius...loved this, and has so many of my old haunts, including cough cough, Chez Panisse (yes, I'm over 65 and yes, I know Alice).

Although not located within Berkeley city limits, menrion could have been made of The Hotsy Totsy Club in Albany on San Pablo Ave.
