VOGUE — Thanks to its foodie scene (approachable gourmet joints and niche food stores that appeal to the chef hidden in all of us) and an impressive stretch of stores (many selling one-of-a-kind clothes and finds for the home), West Berkeley’s Fourth Street has become a true pearl of the Bay Area. Situated in the light-infused and warehouse-filled former pottery district, this shopping destination is worth a visit for the architecture alone, and is an easy stop on any San Francisco or Silicon Valley trip. So hop in an Uber bound for the East Bay, grab a coffee at Artís, and get strolling: Two of the best blocks around await.
