Berkeley's Telegraph Avenue

Berkeley's Telegraph Avenue is known as the avenue of dreams. One of most interesting streets in the San Francisco Bay Area, it is lined with crafts vendors selling their handmade clothing, jewelry, crafts and artwork; restaurants and cafes representing diverse cultures; and shops selling everything from Tibetan ritual artifacts to hats. All are a part of the colorful landscape of Telegraph Ave.

The Best of Berkeley 2009 is the Daily Californian’s annual reader-voted contest to find the best people, places, and businesses in Berkeley. Naturally, Telegraph Avenue has more of these "Best" than any other area in Berkeley or the East Bay. This is another reason why people love to come to Telegraph Ave.
