Ippuku is amazing. Takes me back to a robot grill I enjoyed in Osaka... Corn, bluelake beans, grilled mochi in nori, bacon-wrapped tomatoes, and hard-to-find beers from Japan... Love the cedar!
Had their sausage of the day (spiced chicken with jalapeño) w/ their 7th and Grayson (tofu, onion, tomato, mint, spicy Moroccan harissa scramble + amazing hash browns). Best brunch in a long long time
Excellent tapas are well priced in this rustic, homey dining room. Sophisticated bar, great wine list. Read more.
Cute little spot that's super family friendly. Get your kids, dogs or just friends and enjoy local beers, ciders and pastries!
After you're done at the Apple Store, turn right and visit Builders Booksource, one of my favorite Architectural Book stores on West Coast. Tell George Ira says hi and you learned about it on 4Square
Amazing view of the San Francisco skyline, especially during sunsets.
Owner James Freeman's constantly changing coffee menu is more complicated than most wine lists, highlighting regions, varietals, altitudes and processing methods.

This is one of the hidden gems of the Bay Area. Amazing view of the Bay Bridge, cheap and delicious wine especially from 4-6 during their half price happy hour. LOVE IT
One of the more engaging zoos. Unlike most zoom, the animals aren't in small cages. They are in large open arras that you can get real close to. The monkeys are really active and fun.
Everything is delicious and authentic - reminds me of my childhood food. If you like Russian/Lithuanian, you'll love this! At lunch there is option for two 1/2 size orders so you can try two things
Owned by former Cheeseboard (another Berkeley staple) employees! Make sure to check the daily pizza menu-- they only offer 1 type per day, but it's always good and always vegetarian!
Great layout, never felt cramped even with lots of people. Superb collections of a wide range of art. Take public transit: driving there would be a mistake.
Low-risk “build your own playground” activities, including hammering, sawing, painting. Kid-designed forts, boats, and towers. Kids love the old-fashioned zip line!
