Re: San Francisco Bay Area: Your favorite things to do or places to go

You can't throw a dead cat in Berkeley without hitting a delicious eatery. Here are some of my personal favorites for take out:
Gordo's: Simply awesome burritos. On Solano. I'm hungry just thinking about it.
Rene's: Chinese food with a distinctly western palette, subtle and scrumptious. Also on Solano.
Right near Gordo's and Rene's, check out Pub, a super chill place to get a beer, have a smoke, and play a game with a friend.
There's some good pizza in Berkeley as well. Cheeseboard, of course, which is so good you probably shouldn't even consider it in the pizza category. And 2 spots for a good New York slice, Arinels downtown on Shattuck, and Goioa on Hopkins.
Then there's the ultimate in takeout food: Gregiorre's at Cedar and Shattuck. Its little more than an overgrown hot dog stand on the outside, and they only do food to go, but the fare is really on par with a 3-star French restaurant. Incredible food. Get an order of the potato puffs on the side, trust me.
And even the burger joints run the gamut. For the high end, sit down and use utensils burger try Barney's (good milkshakes too), there's one in the gourmet ghetto and one on Solano. And if you just want a good ol' greasy burger and fries that will hit the spot, drop by Oscar's at Hearst and Shattuck.
Saul's, which does a good job as a NY Jewish Deli.
And then there's "Oh Fo Go". I don't know what the name of the place is, but its on Shattuck between Delaware and Francisco and the sign says "Oriental Food to Go", and you can get pan-Asian classics for just a couple bucks.
I could go on....
