Create a Neighborhood Architectural Heritage Walking Tour in Claremont Park

Let's put our heads together and the three Berkeley Architectural Heritage Assoc., open house tour GuideBooks (pictured above); from the tours that took place in 1990, 2017 and this year's Spring Tour, on May 18, 2025, and come up with a fabulous, well informed walking tour of Claremont Park.,

In carefully going through the Guides there will be obvious not to miss highlights to be located for our newly created walking tour. Outside only, unless a neighbor takes pity on us and invites us in?

There are some well laid out, but very steep stair paths to do some climbing up on. These are always a nice addition to any tour.

Meet at the benches in the very small Donald C. Lawton Park. Restrooms located in a nearby coffee shop.

• Take the opportunity for a, lunch stop afterward, at one of many nice Berkeley/Albany restaurants. We'll choose one from the list below:
• Bua Luang Thai, milder Thai cuisine.
• Great China, the best Chinese cuisine in Berkeley.
• Kim's Cafe, Vietnamese cuisine, Turmeric noodle soup is the go to.
• Picante, A little finer Mexican cuisine, in a very nice setting.
• Revillie, Mediterranean cuisine and lots of it.
• Rose Pizzeria, It's all about the dough.
• Talavera, A little rougher Mexican cuisine, with very nice outdoor seating.
• Tea Spot, Bring takeout from nearby Whole Foods and have tea.
• Thai Farmhouse Kitchen, Spice-yer Thai cuisine with outdoor seating and free coconut ice cream for dessert.
• Vic's Chat, A go to for Indian cuisine with very nice outdoor seating.
