I worked in the hospitality industry for years, and I would clear my schedule for months to make sure I could attend a Paula LaDuc catered event. I've been to their pre-season tastings, where they preview the new menus for the year, and it is an amazing experience. Paula LaDuc menus are consistently delicious, creative, fun, and simply some of the best food you've ever had, especially in the context of big catered affairs. Use them if you can afford them.

More
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 ordered from here a couple of weeks ago with one of my friends and we enjoyed the food. There is not much place to sit inside, but the food was good and the prices were reasonable.

CURE offers a spotlessly clean and very friendly environment with a full menu of manicures, pedicures, waxing and other decadent treatments for reasonable (less than San Francisco) prices. The beauticians take their time, so you'll never feel like your on an assembly line. The Asian-inspired foot soak with warm pebbles is the best part of their great pedicures. Mani/pedi combo is $40. Look for special discounts, including 2-for-1 and discounts for moms with infants.

Bunkhorn Grill is a chain and there are probably hundreds of other locations, but the first time I had their food was in Emeryville's Bay Street. Buckhorn Grill can probably be classified as Fastfood Steakhouse. The beef is perfectly prepared to your liking and depending what meal you choose, you get these delicious "Roadhouse Onions" which can be best described as shredded onion rings. Their food is delicious and they guarantee that your food is done in 5 minutes or its on the house.
The location at Emeryville can get pretty crowded around night time, but in only aids in my facination of the place...Despite the crowd, they still keep up their 5 minute standard.

More
This is a furniture consignment shop. It's a great resource if you're looking to buy good pieces at reasonable prices (because they're used) OR if you're looking to sell pieces that are worth too much to simply garage sale. The way it works: You bring your furniture to them, you price it (they can assist) and then it stays on their showroom floor until it sells. You receive a percentage (50%?) of the selling price. Some pieces go really fast. If it hangs around more than a month, the price gets discounted. All pieces are in very good condition. Styles range from antiques to contemporary and include living room, dining, bedroom, office, outdoor, rugs, artwork, and more. It's a great store to browse for an item, if you don't know exactly what style you want but want to gather ideas.

The Grand Lake Farmer's Market is a wonderful neighborhood spot. It has tons of organic produce, at very good prices; a lot of specialized things like "the mushroom guy" and of course the Kettle Korn booth; gifts and knick-knacks; the Oaklandish booth; a lot of pre-made food which often includes DELICIOUS French food, awesome Afghan cuisine, and drool-worthy "Shakespearean desserts;" and live music, and just everything. It's a great place to run into people, have brunch, and do some really cheap and healthy grocery shopping. And there are samples of practically everything. Plus, it's year-round!
