• Orinda - A mostly residential city, Orinda does offer a movie theater that is a throwback to the golden years of cinema.
• Berkeley - Located on the other side of the hills, Berkeley has a well-deserved reputation as a kooky bastion of liberal activists. More importantly to the traveler, it offers an excellent selection of bars and restaurants.
