Gourmet ghetto

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gourmet Ghetto is the colloquial name for a neighborhood in the city of Berkeley, California. The neighborhood is sometimes more formally referred to as "North Shattuck". It received its nickname due to the high concentration of fine eating establishments in the area, including Chez Panisse and the Cheese Board Collective, as well as the first Peet's Coffee.

According to the North Shattuck Association, the Gourmet Ghetto business district runs primarily on Shattuck Avenue, with some shops on Walnut and Vine, and is roughly bordered by Rose St. to the north and Delaware St. to the south.[1]
