The Marina has a moodier, more grown-up destination for your next night out. Taking over the former Tipsy Pig space, Lobalita brings low lighting, strong agave-forward pours, and one of the neighborhood’s best people-watching patios.

From the hospitality veterans behind Bar Darling, Mamacita, and Padrecito, the modern Mexican cantina balances dark woods and rell diner stools with duck carnitas tostadas, shrimp aguachile, and cocktails rimmed with chamoy and espresso-cinnamon salt. PDF

Nob Hill has its living room back. Tucked inside the newly restored Huntington Hotel, the storied dining room has wisely resisted the urge to reinvent itself. The dark wood paneling, deep green booths, glowing brass, and martinis cold enough to fog the glass are all right where we left them. The Big Four

Whether you need a proper foundation to cut through Karl the Fog’s chill or just need to fuel up for hours of dance floor endurance, walking into Golden Gate Park on an empty stomach might be a rookie mistake. Here is a short guide with pre-show refueling spots flanking the park in both the Richmond and the Sunset. From flaky, buttery croissants and loaded biscuit sandwiches to kaya toast, mochi muffins, and espresso tonics—these neighborhood bakeries, cafes, and restaurants are all walkable to the festival gates.

Inherited Rituals. Meet Lamees Dahbour, the incredible force behind Mama Lamees (Mama Lamees Catering), who literally saved her family’s life through cooking. From stepping up as the family chef at age 12 to topping “best new restaurant” lists in the San Francisco Chronicle and Bon Appétit, her journey is nothing short of inspiring.

Dahbour’s kitchen is full of prayers, love, and a deep belief that food is a gift. We are so moved by her resilience and dedication to preserving the rich ritual of Palestinian cooking.

Sixth in Season: Restaurant Naides

Chef Patrick Gabon (Patrick) and partner Celine Wuu (Celine Wuu) took over the old Sons & Daughters space on Nob Hill and made it something entirely their own, named for Gabon’s mother and built on Filipino flavors and preservation techniques he grew up with.

Ambitious, personal, and refreshingly unserious about being fine dining.

What does a lifetime spent close to the dying teach someone about being truly alive? On page 34 of our Summer 26 RITUALS issue, we sit down with veteran psychotherapist and death cafe facilitator Ahria Wolf. From opening some of San Francisco’s very first hospices in the 1980s to holding space for strangers today, Ahria shares how embracing our mortality—and even finding laughter in it—carries the ultimate permission to live a full, beautiful life.

In our Summer 26 issue, we are honored to feature the stunning, evocative words of American poet and storyteller Aida Takyrbasheva (AIDA). Her poem, Anna’s Hands, is a beautiful, texture-rich dive into Kyrgyz roots, memory, and the culinary magic passed down through generations.

Aida’s writing beautifully anchors the heartbeat of the RITUALS issue—exploring presence, love, and becoming. Her highly anticipated debut collection, Everything Is Fleeting, officially arrives this July. You can also find her regular reflections over at substack/letterstoai
