Until the 1990s, the University of California at Berkeley with its first-rate academic standards, its 18 Nobel Prize winners, and its protests that led to the most well-known student riots in U.S. history was the primary reason that Berkeley became more than a sleepy town east of the big city. But the race to find affordable Bay Area housing has made the East Bay even more of a hub. Today there s still hippie idealism in the air, but the radicals have aged; the 1960s are largely present in tie-dye and paraphernalia shops (which are joined by national chains along Telegraph Ave.). Meanwhile, communities and upscale restaurants and shops continue to flourish. All in all, it s an entertaining town with all types of people, a beautiful campus, vast parks, and some incredible restaurants.
