Northside
Northside is the Northern Border of the University of California at Berkeley campus. Northside’s main street is Euclid Avenue, which has a passel of small shops, mainly serving the needs of hungry students. Here you can buy the best hot dog in the country at “ Top Dog” or contemplate the world while drinking a Greek coffee at Café Nefeli.
Northside is also home to “Holy Hill”, a collection of divinity schools. The Graduate Theological Union, among others, is home to students from all over the world. The housing surrounding the “Holy Hill” area is mostly student type housing and multi units and condominiums. It is not unusual to see a brown-frocked Franciscan monk walking down the street in vivid conversation with a black cassocked priest, or perhaps a Greek Orthodox priest standing on the corner of Euclid Avenue and Ridge Road.
