We are thrilled to expand our presence in the Bay Area with the opening of our new Benihana in the San Mateo community, said Emanuel 'Manny' Hilario, CEO of The ONE Group.

Hira Birla opened the Bay Area's original Bharat Bazar in 1974 in the city of Santa Clara, making it the region's oldest Indian grocery chain.

The first RBS show, back in 2021, was like nothing most of music fans had ever seen, attracting over 2000 people from all over the country.

"Caltrain and BART would very likely be looking at shutting down passenger service," Deputy Director of Policy Development Melissa Jones said. "In that case, the agencies would be focused on maintenance, trying to secure our assets, keep everything safe while we regroup for the future."

The final show I review below got me looks that made me feel like a fish in a bowl. First, the private security at the door had two Valiant rent-a-cops who scowling at me-and only me-with that same 'Give me an excuse!' glare I've gotten from real cops all my life.

Super Duper Burgers, founded in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood, serves fast-casual favorites made with organic, non-GMO ingredients, including burgers, fries, and shakes.

"This is going to help fill that gap in minutes to hours lead time that's vital to know where the heaviest rain is going to hit," Ralph said. "And when and what communities are going to be affected so people in the preparedness community and water resource management community can take action to help protect people's lives and property."

Colder-than-average highs will arrive starting Tuesday and last all week, marking a significant change after weeks of above-average temperatures.

Discovering the scope of women's subjugation in every aspect of life—at home, in the workplace, in public spaces, in the media—was a gamechanger. Despite the region's progressive reputation, Alexandra notices that almost everything in San Francisco is named after men. She begins researching the lives of influential women who were relatively unknown or overlooked by history and KQED's Rebel Girls series is born in 2018.

It's Sunday evening and dozens of people are ping-ponging around the room at Berkeley's Ashkenaz Music & Dance Community Center. It's the end of a three-day traveling music festival called " Dare to Be Square West," and folks are whirling, stomping and otherwise having a ball. A man who's perched like a shepherd eyeing his flock calls out instructions from the stage. "Take your partner and promenade!" he hollers, as people form lines, part and reintegrate.

This week's storm pummeling the Bay Area has already unleashed pouring rain, more than 500 lightning strikes, snowy peaks and reports of hail. And more is on the way - rain will fall all week on the coastal region, with frigid temperatures in the North and South Bay Area, and plenty of snow in the Sierra Nevada by the end of the week.

The shower activity is going to continue throughout the day, National Weather Service meteorologist Lamont Bain said. As it pertains to thunderstorm risk, there's probably a 10-to-15 percent chance. There is a lot of instability between the upper low pressure and the lower air. That upper low is going to spin out there and not move much, and that's why the rain showers are going to be scattered throughout the day and why the best chances for thunder are out over the ocean.
