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.

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.

Japan’s Favorite Boutique Winery in Berkeley Throws a Japanese Pop-Up Party

Broc Cellars didn’t necessarily set out to become one of Japan’s favorite Bay Area wineries. But in 2018, a surprise appearance in the popular wine manga The Drops of God propelled the tiny, Berkeley-based natural winemaker to newfound celebrity status. Soon, Japanese oenophiles were buying up almost as many bottles of Broc’s Vine Starr Zinfandel, the specific wine featured in the manga, as the winery could produce. Today, Broc sells merch with the phrase “Got Grapes?” written in Japanese katakana characters. And travelers from Japan routinely make a special pilgrimage to the winery’s West Berkeley tasting room, eagerly snapping photos and, of course, buying a bottle or two at the source.

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.
