Berkeley has good sushi? Guess I'm out of the loop, details!
We ate at Kamado and got pick up at Sumo Roll. They were both pretty serviceable given how exhausted we were from apartment hunting. I've had better and worse so there is that.
Posted this in The Bucket but wanted to mention it here too. If anyone is in San Jose or South Bay check out Antipastos on McKee. It's a family run Italian deli. Their vegetable ravioli with meat sauce is legit and their meatballl sandwich is so tasty. We also stopped off at Peters Bakery for some sweets. They're famous for their burnt almond cake. I got a doughnut and a piece of apple pie.
Welcome. I think there are a few of us here already. UC Berkeley students/alums that is.

Antipastos... Near Toyon Avenue? I've been getting recommendations to go there. Even my dad got interested. But I always am reluctant to go anywhere new because I don't know what to get. Thanks for these images.
Yeah that's the one. It's just a simple Italian deli, the kind of neighborhood spot that's been around for many years. It's got your steam table items like lasagna as well as sandwiches. Good stuff!
Sup. I'm in the East Bay! It's great here if you can find an affordable place.
Anyone else play badminton? It's a super-underrated sport in America. My tiny crew are always lookin' for new peeps to join the fun, so message me if you're interested. I would call us advanced beginner / lower intermediate prolly, playin' for ~3 years with increasing intensity. We frequent the courts in Emeryville and Union City.

Weirdly enough I was taking a break today with a friend and he mentioned he's doing intramural badminton. I actually have played before, but I was never great at it. Maybe I'll join you one day.
It's Friday and it's payday, but I don't know what to do in the city right now. Anyone know of anything interesting going on? I'm going to check SF Funcheap, but thought of stopping by here first.
haha that's awesome. antipasto's is right by my parents house. grew up off mckee. love that place and peter's bakery (had burnt almond cake every year for my birthday from like 3 - 21 lol)
other cool spots in san jose - la victoria taqueria. id recommend the super flour quesadilla with whatever selection of meat you want and make sure to ask for the orange sauce. i drench my quesadilla with that stuff. the best orange sauce in the south bay no question!
I got nothing, but I have a test on Monday, so I'm not really concerned about anything at all.
Cool. :) I encourage you to check it out, it's super fuckin' fun.
I saw your post mentioning peninsula/Berkeley. Berkeley has weekly badminton games at that beautiful Rec Sports facility. It's too expensive for me as a non-student but apparently free for undergrads?
If that's not enough I recommend the class at Merritt College. Cheap (~45/semester) and basically just an excuse to play. If you want to learn people will help you though. Lots of gray-haired pros come to play there.
On the peninsula there is this place in South SF (never been) and this fellow seems cool, though I never reached out since I live in the East Bay and am probably not good enough to hang with them yet.
I don't like La Vic's. I'm a fan of El Paisa, La Costa (GOAT Shrimp Burritos), and Mi Tierra Carniceria.
My buddy took me to some lady who sold tamales outside this shady ass liquor store and the tamales were so good. She'd prepare them with salsas, sour cream, and cheese. The only other place I'd buy tamales from is the family that sets up by the Bank of America at Marina Foods. They make some bomb ass tamales.

BubbaKrumpz Which La Costa? There's like two on Monterey haha.
I used to frequent La Vic's but two bad quesadillas soured my views on them. I normally stick to Super Taqueria on 10th street. Either that or there's a really small place on McKee called El Rancherito with some good tortas.

It is pretty cold. In just over a week I'm heading to my home town in Washington state and it is already snowing up there... We have to get snow tires on our car before the drive up now. I've been down here over five years now and I think I am a wimp when it comes to the cold. I used to live in Alaska and deal with sub-zero temps regularly in the winter. smh
Exactly! I was born in raised in cold and windy Missouri winters and now I'm complaining about being cold here. I have to be back in Missouri in two weeks, so we'll see how I can stand.
Turned on the heat for the first time this winter, so yea, it's cold. Or at least, California cold. I lived in the NE before this and the winter storms was one of my motivations for coming out to California.
Lol... yeah. My dad loves the tk noodle there. "Llevame a las sopitas"
DUDE my dad says the same thing! Except we go to the one in Milpitas.

Have you ever taken your dad to eat pho? Took my dad for the first time earlier this year and he loved it.
My dad likes pho but feels like it's really expensive. My mom loves pho more than him.
I didn't mean it like that. I mean, Berkeley has good food all over the place, I've just never found a sushi place that I've particularly liked. I haven't been exhaustively searching though.
Not into fighting games. Has anyone gone to day of the devs? I saw some online ad for it but didn't go even though it was free.
krae_man Truthfully, this thread is kinda dead =). I'm down for it, but it might be a challenge to get a meetup going.
It's christmas in the park time in SJ! cheap hot dogs wrapped in bacon and hot chocolate all around!
Cheaper than 5 bucks? Cuz that's what they cost everytime I seem to ask for one.
Cesar Chavez park downtown. They set it up and put trees and all this other stuff you can see. I just go because my gf likes going tbh, that and the churros.
Christmas in the Park is a Christmas season event in Downtown San Jose.

I'm always wary of events without entrance fees. It's the tried and true way to keep freaks out. It's horrible when there's a beer festival though and the fee's $50.
...freaks? Regardless, if someone is causing trouble, they'll get kicked out.
Anybody else stoked for Emporium opening soon?

There's nothing wrong with Christmas in the park. It's fine just to take your family and walk around. Plus that ice skating rink is right there as well but idk how much it costs.
I am now. Maybe I'll check it out this weekend. I'll be at Fort Mason for to check out Isaac Julien's Playtime anyways, so might as well check it out.
It's a very family friendly event. I wouldn't worry about it and if you've never been, you should at least go once.
