San Francisco's
East Bay

Eclectic and Enticing

By MARLENE GOLDMAN

A region that once stood in the shadow of its ritzy neighbor across the water, San Francisco's East Bay is casting

shadows of its own with a towering arts and culture scene, trend-setting dining, enviable green space and an ethnic palette as colorful as a Matisse canvas.

Berkeley
Known for its left-tilted politics and vocal counterculture, Berkeley melds college-town enthusiasm with sophisticated tastes, and its varied neighborhoods reflect the delicate balance. While the city's hippie hangover is long gone (well, mostly), in its place Berkeley continues to grow as a hub of art, music and food.
