naia gelateria is the new name for the gelato place on shattuck. to me, it looks like the same place it was when it was called mundo gelato. naia gelateria has a huge selection of all kinds of gelato, including non milk based, soy based, etc. it's really yummy, and they let you try flavors before you order so you know you'll like what you get. and the fruit flavors are very true to their name--orange gelato will taste like oranges! the price is good too!

viks chaat corner always makes the list of best bargain places to eat, and i would have to admit that the place is pretty cheap. for those of you that don't know, from what i understand chaat is indian snacks. at viks, there's a counter up front and you pretty much just order anything you want among all of the chaat. the food is alright, but i found that even though the menu is large, everything seemed the same, and most of it was fried.

arizmendi is a great pizza place that serves one type of vegetarian pizza a day, and that type changes each day depending on ingredients in season. (this is much like the more popular cheeseboard in berkeley--in fact, if you've been there, you notice that it's practically the same thing in emeryville). for some reason, i like cheeseboard a little more (i still really like this place), and i don't know if it's psycholigical.
they tend to have more sweet type breads compared to cheeseboard, and i've found that their pizza slice size is pretty non-consistent. one time, i went with a friend for lunch, and my slice was literally half the size of hers, even though we paid the same price.

i have been the the pacific east mall a ton of times, but always passed by phuping thai restaurant because it never seemed busy, and i never really looked in to see the food they served. but one day a friend recommended we eat ther, and i'm so glad she did! their food is good, probably the best thai i've had nearby (including the more popular cha am). definitely worth a visit if you're nearby or visiting the mall anyway.

yolanda's discount furniture has a lot of furniture in what i would call a small warehouse sized room. it's pretty crowded, which makes maneuvering around the room interesting, but not impossible. their stuff seems alright, but when i visited i didn't find anything that was really my style, which is more modern in tastes.

oaks jewelers has a little bit of everything in a small shop. i went there to look for an engagement ring, and the staff was really helpful and brought out examples of all kinds of grades of diamonds. the thing is though, since it's a small store with a little bit of everything, the selection of any one thing isn't all that large.

neat japanese store that has a little bit of everything--kimonos, sake sets, and yes, even futons and covers. in fact, when i did a search for this store, i was a little surprised they called themselves a futon shop because the futons are a small part of their store. worth visiting if you're into japanese home decor.

el cerrito lighting has a decent collection of lighting of all kinds. when i went they had overhead pendant lights, chandeliars, table lamps, track lighting, and they had both modern and more traditional pieces. their prices were pretty reasonable as well. for me personally, i didn't find anything worth purchasing when i went, but it's worth the trip if you are closeby and looking for lighting for you home.

miki paper store is a pretty neat store that sells handmade paper designed with asian influences. i wouldn't consider this the kind of paper you write on, like stationary, but actually paper you would hang up at your house as decoration. so for paper, it's a little pricey, but it's cool, and i've given it as a gift to someone and they liked it a lot.

evolution is a furniture store that used to have three buildings all surrounding one parking lot, but this year they got rid of two of them--one was the outlet and one was part of thier regular furniture line. because of this, their showroom is a lot less than it used to be. prices here are pretty high, even if they sell quality furniture.
