Item Description

Spend a night at the Berkeley City Club, an iconic Berkeley hotel designed originally, by architect Julia Morgan, as a residence and social club for women. Enjoy views spanning Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco, the Bay and Golden Gate Bridges, and the University of California, Berkeley campus, from this "Little Castle," often described as a "medieval fantasy."  Start your day at this historic landmark with a delicious complimentary continental breakfast. And allow yourself time to take a swim in the magnificent indoor swimming pool.

With admission passes donated by the UC Botanical Garden, visit one of the most diverse plant collections in the United States, famous for its rare and endangered species.

In downtown Berkeley, have large burrito style sushi rolls at SUMO Roll. Maybe the Sinshen -- with wild longfin tuna, organic spring greens, avomame, turmeric pickled daikon radish, fresh red bell peppers, sunflower seeds, and ginger soy aioli.  Or, how about the vegetarian Midori, filled with spicy curry tofu, fresh romaine, crunchy noodles, fresh carrots, pickled cucumber, and wasabi aioli?  Have fun with $40 in gift certificates donated by SUMO Roll.

Or, feel like having a gourmet salad or panini?  With your $50 gift card donated by Organic Greens, feast on local seasonal organic produce with varieties of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or enjoy refreshing juices or smoothies.

Take in a wonderful solo performance at The Marsh with two general admission tickets donated by the theater.  "The Marsh strives to make your theater experience as joyful, magical, and easy as possible." They don't disappoint.

Use your $75 gift card at Gather to feast on Mushroom Ragout with red flint polenta, radicchio, and oregano salsa verde, or 38 North Half Chicken with beans and greens, turnips, Meyer lemon gremolata, and breadcrumbs. How does local Halibut with citrus couscous, sweet and sour rhubarb, fava leaves and Meyer lemon-green garlic salsa sound? Or the Mindful Meats Burger with Sierra Nevada cheddar, aioli, tomato condiment and fries?

The highest bidder wins it all!
