Partly in the city of Berkeley and partly in Albany, this is a wonderful place to spend a day or even a few days shopping, eating and strolling. A quaint, upscale neighborhood, Solano caters to locals, and both the stroller and yuppie sets. Find everything from the familiar and commercial, like Starbucks, to the more local, like the famous Zachary's Chicago Pizza and the Oriental Rug Gallery. With the food, an abundance of handmade furniture and antiques and lots of small clothing stores featuring locally made items, this area is a shopper's and eater's delight.
