Cliff House Name Finally Returns Home, but SF Landmark Still Sits Empty

The name Cliff House is finally back where longtime San Franciscans feel it belongs. Dan and Mary Hountalas, who ran the cliffside institution for decades, donated the restaurant’s name and all its associated trademarks to a local nonprofit just days before November 10, 2025 — but the landmark building itself at 1090 Point Lobos Ave. remains empty, with no confirmed date for anyone to walk back through its doors.

A fresh take on Turkish cuisine takes root in West Berkeley

Divan, a new Turkish restaurant in West Berkeley, delivers on some of the cuisine’s greatest hits: pides (“Turkish pizza”), pomegranates and pistachios, plus the passion for grilled meats and eggplant, Turkey’s most beloved vegetable. But, Divan does it in a sleek, contemporary, spacious room with a full bar, without the museum-like displays of ceramics and rugs other Turkish restaurants in the Bay Area often lean on for decor.

Meet UMNI: The Retired SF Muni Bus Getting a Second Life as a Roaming Speakeasy

“I don’t know what we’re gonna do with it. We gotta go look at it.”. Those were the words lifelong San Francisco resident Oliver Sellman said to his childhood friend Santiago Rollo after stumbling across a Muni bus for sale on Facebook Marketplace. The two made the spontaneous drive to Sacramento, using the time on the road to brainstorm ideas for what they could do with the bus. After batting around a few possibilities, they landed on one that stuck: What if we turned it into a mobile speakeasy? While they didn’t end up purchasing that particular bus, they held tightly onto the idea. They eventually found another retired Muni bus and teamed up with Marc Velten-Lomelin, who would help shape the project’s creative identity and bring the concept to life. Just like that, UMNI was born.

Beloved Classics, Rebuilt: Inside Vallejo’s Kindred Motorworks

The building sat empty for thirty years. Now, on Vallejo’s Mare Island, it holds some of the most carefully reengineered classic cars in California. Kindred Motorworks takes the Ford Bronco, the Volkswagen Bus and the Porsche 911, three of the most beloved shapes in automotive history, and rebuilds them as modern machines. Most are fully electric, and every one keeps the silhouette that made it famous. The work happens inside a former naval shipyard of more than 100,000 square feet, where metalwork, bodywork, paint, upholstery, engineering and final assembly share a single roof. A Bronco starts at $225,000, with the Bus and the 911 priced higher.

Today you can drive the whole chain in seven days, visiting the oldest building in San Francisco, the largest mission church in California, the chapel where Junípero Serra is buried, and the site of the Bear Flag Revolt.

UC Law SF is barreling ahead with a $288 million redo of a historic tower

UC Law San Francisco’s $288 million renovation of a nearly 100-year-old tower at the edge of the Civic Center and Tenderloin neighborhoods crossed a major milestone in recent days with the completion of major structural work on the building’s gutted core. “We got the building topped off before the rains come,” said a clearly pleased David Seward, UC Law’s chief financial officer. Seward is helping lead the transformation of the 28-story tower — once the West Coast’s tallest hotel skyscraper — into a modern hub of student housing, classrooms, athletics and more. Construction crews had removed the entire top floor, which left the hollowed core exposed to allow for construction work. Now, the hole has been covered, and the crane that has loomed over the site can come down. Upon completion — which is projected for next winter — the reincarnated art deco and Gothic revival structure at 100 McAllister St. will be a crown jewel in UC Law’s expanding “Academic Village,” which includes several buildings on two blocks in which the school will have invested about $750 million since 2016, Seward said. The tower at the northwest corner of McAllister and Leavenworth streets, which UC Law acquired for student
