One of the great food corridors in Berkeley is the Gourmet Ghetto, home of the famed Chez Panisse, the upscale food mall Epicurious Garden and local favorites like Café Gratitude and Gregoire. If you’ve never been, I recommend tomorrow's Taste of North Berkeley’s Gourmet Ghetto restaurant walk.

Lowe & Co. Jewelers, Mint Leaf, Alegio Chocolaté, Imperial Tea Court, Picoso Taqueria, SOOP, Kirala 2, Vintage Berkeley Wines, Chester’s Restaurant and Bar, Saul’s Deli, & Lo Coco's Restaurant.
