Wazwan is a fantastic, inexpensive food-court style Indian food take-out place. This is not a restaurant, but for cafeteria style Indian food, it is every bit as good as the sit-down restaurants in Berkeley. I particlarly like their Tandoori Chicken. It's always tender, never dry, done just the way I like it. The food is always tasty and the portions are generous.
The only drawback is the mob-scene in the Emeryville Public market which presents a problem: Once you get your food (in styrofoam clam-shells, on plastic cafeteria trays) where do you sit? Sometimes its so busy you need a strategy such as having one person sit down and save a table while the other orders the food. The alternative is walking around with your food tray looking for a free, clean table. ( I have bad memories of sitting at a table that hadn't been cleaned yet, with one or two messy eaters sill sitting there, slurping their noodles. ) If you can manage this, you can manage the Public Market food scene. The same thing is true for all the restaurants at the Emery-Bay Public market.
The Public Market is a good spot to grab some food before going to the UA- Emery Bay Theater next door, or the AMC-Bay Street Cinemaplex down the road a half mile away.
Finally a note to parents with screaming kids: The Public market is your kind of place. They have a kid-friendly ball room filled with plastic balls. The noise level of the market place is so high that no-one will hear your screaming toddler.
PROS: Great Tandoori Chicken, Indian Curries
CONS: Emeryville Public Market mob scene.

I dropped off a package here and the staff was poorly trained, slow, and distracted. Usually when I drop off at an actual UPS warehouse, things are much more efficient. But these people behind the counter didn't seem to know what they were doing. They also don't answer their phone. It was unprofessional to hear profanity-laced rap music playing in the background as well.

This theatre has free parking, stadium seating and the international food court in its backyard. The only downside is that the movies tend to be a little older.

If you go to this salon, be sure to make an appointment with Lee. She is the most professional and experienced mancurist there. She takes the extra time to be sure the work is done well and that the look will last.
Pros: Ask for Lee

I always just assumed that Trader Joe's was always crazy and hard to maneuver, but come to think of it, I never get that homicidal feeling in the El Cerrito or Alameda Trader Joe'ses. On the other hand, the Emeryville location is the only one I've seen have sushi-grade tuna, and it's at the same better-than-most prices as all their other food. And it's much closer to my house. And they have a great floral area, never mind that that space could probably have been used to fix the design problem. The sad thing is that they redesigned the whole store a few years ago! Nevertheless, as I am used to shopping at crowded Berkeley Bowl, I can usually handle the (admittedly worse) traffic in here. Especially with their awesome chocolate selection.
Oh, and best of all, this branch invented little color-coded signs that tell you what is organic, vegetarian, et cetera - so handily awesome!

This sports authority has always given me great customer service and has always had everything I've needed. Whether it be a set of golf gloves, to a ski jacket, Sports Authority always seems to satisfy my needs. I have plenty of friends that boast about the deals they find here.
