Hi, I'm visiting the berkley area until the 22nd and I was hoping that you could guys could suggest things to do while i'm here. I have a rental corolla (FWD FTW) So i can drive distances. BTW this place is cold, i've been lied to my whole life.

 

Welcome, and don't worry, the weather will get warmer in the afternoon.

There are a bunch of tourist traps in SF but plenty of good eats. Cha Cha Cha in the Haight/Ashbury area (corner of Haight and Shrader) is really good and fairly cheap. They have good sangria.

GoKart Racer in Burlingame (just south of the SF airport) if you like karting.

Berkely Lawrence Labs in the Berkely hills where they filmed "Hulk".

Lots of things to do, places to go and eat here. Have fun.

 

Oooo. If you are in Berkeley, go to Cheeseboard!!

 

and fatslice, you are right there around welcome week, go hit on some freshman sloots!

 

+1 For freshmeat sloots

 

go to house of chiken n waffles in oakland!

 

How far do you want to drive? Napa is nearby and a lot warmer.

 

Trying to get him a DUI while he's here?

California: Come on vacation, leave on probation!!

 

lol yes kyle you just reminded me, we have some fresh meat coming into town!

lolol

ohh and if you want to play some beach volleyball come up and hang out my fraternity (we have a legit sand volleyball court on our front deck). its usually all we do during the week before school starts. i live at the house where durant dead ends into piedmont (where all the construction is.)

w00t w00t!!!! gotta move outta state first..... :rotfl:

 

ever been here before? GG bridge, Angel Island, Alcatraz, you should deffinately hit up telegraph ave in berk and eat at fat slice, top dogs and Spats which is an old skool bar on the corner of shattuck and university...but they have good food and yummay drinks like the Fog Cutter.

make sure to head up grizzly peak and check out the view from the top....you can see all of SF bay.

do you wanna do touristy stuff? local stuff? party? chill? theres a lot of things you can do...just depends on how much you wanna spend in money, time and traffic.

 

Regarding Berkeley eats, don't forget to check out Zachary's Pizza, Chez Pannise if you feel like one hell of a meal, or Barney's for burgers.

 

Alright, he can stay local and not get a dui - Pyramid, Bison, Triple Rock.

 

I'm just looking for good things to do, thanks for the suggestions so far, i don't mind driving. I saw the winchester house so far, napa, sonoma, did the wine country thing, went around chinatown and little italy, saw the golden gate park, went to santa cruz beach, boardwalk deal, we ate at jupiter's so far and some place called kiana's kitchen. I think we're doing the golden gate today, as well as the forts on teh way and the muir woods. jdadour, thanks for the offer, but i'm here with my mom and my little brother. BTW there are sooooo many wrx's out here. On the east you see maybe 2-3 a day even if you drive a lot. Lots of m3's too. Where is there a good road that runs near the ocean, kind of like what ive seen of the pacific coast highway.
