    Other good places in or near Berkeley:
    VIK's - Indian chaat and other dishes. This is the place that introduced chaat to the U.S. Food quality is great, prices are good. No frills at all (no table service, paper plates, disposable flatware). There's an Indian grocery attached to it.
    Gioia Pizza - On Hopkins, about half a block from Monterey Market. Some of the best New York style pizza in the Bay Area. Their mushroom pizza is great.
    Taqueria Talavera - On Solano in Albany, very close to the Berkeley border. They have two types of mole, both of which are excellent: mole poblano and mole guajillo. Their posole is also great. Many other fine dishes.
    Sichuan Style Restaurant - On Solano in Berkeley. Many excellent dishes, including braised preserved turnip with eggplant, and Chongqing noodle soup. Be careful ordering if you're sensitive to spicy food, because some of their dishes are pretty hot. Also, be aware that service can be a little slow sometimes.

    You ate like queens! If I had eaten like that when I was there I would have had to drop out and gone to community college ;) I actually liked how you started with more typical college fare - Top Dog, Cafe Durant, Durant food court. Wish you'd shown one of those Top Dog sausages like the Brat or Bockwurst, that was truly the stuff of late night food runs. Also, liked your nice shots of the Campanile, Wheeler, South Hall...this was travel book quality. Thanks for the memories...

      The wine spots are definitely not for students!! I feel like cheeseboard was a pretty good deal when I was in college but still a treat. And we got some Chez Panisse to go which was a REAL treat (i never tried Chez Panisse as a student). Angeline’s was definitely a special occasion place for us when we were students. But the Asian ghetto places were a staple throughout college 👌

    🌸Once everything that calls for attention is stripped away. Once I myself is stripped away from all this banter of attention through all my years of differing focus as I advance in years of irrigating this place with the totality of my mitt mark. The one that is left to supersede in the cosmic equation.
    My finest and sacred producing’s are unequivocally the children of my loins.
    That’s the richest of achievements any being’s purpose can be defined by.
    Why should my folly of focus be so fragile as to ever allow this truth be lessened with any wakens of any fashion of any day of any way? The why of this is the minds poison of which every suffering gains root .
    It’s diss- allusion is like a maze once you enter you hardly can be freed of. Till your dusk has arrived and dust you dissolve as promise from the cosmic blessings of a free fresh opening for the footprint of man once again.
