Those looking for authentic Berkeley souvenirs can tour the famous shopping hub that is Telegraph Avenue. Here, travelers will find shops like Amoeba Music, a Berkeley landmark selling independent music since the early 90s.

For lunch, Naan-N-Curry is a great option. Their Pakistani and Indian cuisine, like the chicken korma, can be enjoyed for less than $9.

Nearby is the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, where visitors can learn about the rich history of cinema in the San Francisco Bay Area. General Admission is $9.50 and tickets to screenings are an additional $4.

By evening, many travelers might find themselves under the glowing neon sign of the famous Jupiter Beer. Each named after a prominent figure of ancient Greece or Rome, their 9-inch pizzas run less than $11. The Cassiopeia — roasted chicken, barbecue sauce, sweet onions, marinara and mozzarella — might be a nice compliment to one of the 12 home-brewed beers. Additionally, this restaurant features frequent live music.

To end the night, guests can stop by University of California Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall for a live performance. There is something for everyone, from dance to live music, or maybe something unique like Robot Planet Rising, a live-action graphic novel performance.
