Aside from walking in the neighborhood or hiking in Tilden Park, there are a number of other things you might want to do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tunicarium.com\/Google_Maps_Berkeley_Marina_100911.jpg\">Berkeley pier and marina<\/a> are at the very end of University Avenue where it reaches the bay. When the weather&#8217;s right this is a lovely place to stroll, watch boats, and get a great perspective looking around the bay and back up at Berkeley and the hills behind.<\/li>\n<li>The most important of all the Maybeck buildings is the <a href=\"http:\/\/berkeleyheritage.com\/berkeley_landmarks\/1christ_scientist.html\">First Church of Christ Scientist<\/a>, on Dwight Way right next to People&#8217;s Park. This structure, which caused outrage when Maybeck built it from &#8220;profane&#8221; industrial materials, is a designated National Landmark. Tour: first Sunday of the month at 12:15.<\/li>\n<li>There&#8217;s a wonderful pocket of &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bobos_in_Paradise\">bobo<\/a>&#8221; shopping and dining in west Berkeley on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/neighborhoods\/eb\/fourthst\/\">Fourth Street<\/a>. This area was once part of the separate town of Ocean View before being the incorporation of Berkeley in 1878.<\/li>\n<li>Brunch is a big deal in Berkeley. Favorite places downtown are Venus and La Note, both on Shattuck just north and south of Durant, respectively. Harder to reach without a car are the Homemade Cafe at Dwight and Sacramento, or Rick &amp; Ann&#8217;s on Domingo (just below the massive Claremont Hotel). All are excellent, but as are many others not listed here.<\/li>\n<li>The campus itself is a delight. You can go up the Campanile (the way we locals pronounce this it rhymes with &#8220;touchy-feely&#8221;); pause a while in the area in the Faculty Glade; when walking up to the campus from BART\/downtown, <em><strong>always<\/strong><\/em> go through the Eucalyptus grove &#8212; but watch out, the squirrels will bite your finger.<\/li>\n<li>Telegraph Avenue sometimes closed to vehicles on weekends, and craft stalls line the streets. This is the most fun that Telegraph gets &#8212; &#8220;The Ave is a trip, man&#8230;&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What time is the next bus down the hill?
