I'll be there for the 1st half.

For restaurants, it's hard to tell what part of town you're asking about. I think you meant to ask about where Moraga Way ends, assuming you're coming from the Berkeley side of the tunnel through Orinda. There's nothing between Orinda and Moraga but in the shopping center by the intersection of Moraga Rd and Moraga Way, there's a good sandwich place (Biancha's), a pizza place (Pennini's) and Asia Palace. On the other side of town, there's a really good Chinese restaurant (Chef Chao), a good Italian restaurant where former Cal kicker Giorgio Tavechio used to work (Amoroma) and some other choices. Lots of good choices 10 minutes away in Orinda and Lafayette, too.

Yeah. Didn't want to miss either game this early in the season, especially the women's game being a 5 minute drive from my house, and I won't be heading out to Pullman for the WSU game till Saturday morning, so I'm taking advantage of being home for it.

I grew up going to St. Mary's Athletic Camp for hoops every year and even managed to somehow win the 1-on-1 tournament out of @120 kids one year, so St. Mary's has a little spot in my heart. Not as big as Cal's, though.
