All national cuisines have history, but few wear their age as proudly as Italian food. The heritage, passed-down recipes, and restaurants run by multiple generations of the same family is a large part of what makes Italian cuisine so appealing: Eating food that's been made the same way for decades, if not centuries, feels like you're taking part in tradition.

The San Francisco City Attorney's Office secured a roughly $3 million settlement on Friday with online tobacco retailers accused of breaking the city's 2017 flavored tobacco ban. According to the SF Standard, the nicotine companies were accused of going around the ban by selling their flavored products online. In a statement, City Attorney David Chiu said the online retailers - Rogue Holdings, Swisher International, and Northerner Scandinavia - "are not above our San Francisco laws and cannot ship banned products into our city."

But those additions will come at the expense of several routes the airline is cutting, including 25% at San Francisco International Airport and others at San Jose Mineta International Airport. "These adjustments are firmly rooted in the need to be disciplined with our aircraft in 2026, as fewer new aircraft enter our fleet," an Alaska spokesperson told the Points Guy in a statement. "Although these decisions are difficult, SFO and LAX remain key markets for us."

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A San Francisco judge denied mental health diversion for the man at the center of a double fatal hit-and-run in San Francisco nearly five years ago on New Year's Eve. Troy McAlister is facing vehicular manslaughter charges for the deaths of 27-year-old Hanako Abe and 60-year-old Elizabeth Platt in a SoMa crosswalk. McAlister was on parole and allegedly driving a stolen vehicle at the time. The case was previously instrumental in the recall of former San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin.

San Francisco criminal court clerks issued a "cry for help" on Monday, threatening to strike for three days if the court did not respond to their demands for more staff and better training to handle an influx of criminal cases. After 11 hours of negotiations, the clerks' union and the court's bargaining team came to a tentative agreement on Tuesday night.

In October, Immigration and Customs Enforcement made just seven arrests at San Francisco immigration courts, a steep reduction after months of routinely detaining immigrants after their hearings. There have been no arrests of immigrants attending hearings at the immigration court at 630 Sansome St. since Oct. 3, according to Milli Atkinson, a lawyer with the San Francisco Bar Association who closely monitors ICE actions there. At 100 Montgomery St., the city's other immigration courthouse, the last arrest recorded by Mission Local was on Aug. 20.

"This measure would hinder the city's comeback by making rides more expensive and hurting drivers," said CJ Macklin, director of communications at Lyft. "This would be particularly devastating for low-income communities who struggle to even access the Muni system and depend on ride-share to get around. It's the wrong move for San Francisco."

I think we should be the testbed for emerging technology and AI and healthcare tech - and all of it,

Like many bars in the city, Ginger's has focused on entertainment to lure in customers in recent years, especially post-pandemic, when a lot of happy hour customers in the Financial District - and downtown in general - never fully returned. Throughout the week, Ginger's hosted drag and variety shows, movie nights, karaoke and DJs. It was the bar manager's job to book the shows and also to promote them, in addition to bartending. The wide range of responsibilities makes it a challenging job to fill.

"The class certification decision is one step toward finally getting justice for these young people," said Rachel Lederman, an attorney with the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, which is representing five teenagers arrested that day.

I've always wanted to live in San Francisco. It's the beating pulse of AI, and there are so many insanely ambitious and talented people to be surrounded by. You can literally walk into a coffee shop and end up in a two-hour deep dive conversation about AI agents or someone's YC application. Everyone's dreaming big, and you can feel that optimism in the air. It's a nice place to build a startup.

I got a great call from some incredible people, some friends of mine, very successful people,

I'm a bit nervous and I'm afraid,

There was a mini-viral only in San Francisco story in the local news in 2022 where a Noe Valley couple was fined $1,500 for parking in their own driveway. Yes, this is technically illegal in much of the city even if your vehicle is not blocking the sidewalk though people still do it like mad, and the rule is rarely enforced.

Trump reiterated his decision to call off a planned incursion of federal agents and/or troops in San Francisco this weekend after phone calls with Lurie, as well as "friends" Marc Benioff and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. "It's very different from the vicious way Trump has described mayors of other big, blue cities," the Times notes, saying that other cabinet members spoke favorably about Lurie and Trump added, "I told the mayor, 'I love what you're doing.'"

President Trump had planned an operation to "surge" San Francisco by marching National Guard troops into the city, but was convinced to alter course, he said on a post on his social network Truth Social on Thursday. Nvidia's Jensen Huang and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff were among the tech industry's luminaries who called him and convinced him to change his mind, the post said. San Francisco mayor Daniel Lurie confirmed in a statement that the military operation had been planned and called off, although he didn't name names as to who had conversations with the President.

In a Truth Social post on Thursday, Trump said that he was preparing to "surge" federal forces into the city on Saturday, but decided to hold off after "friends of mine who live in the area" called him on Wednesday night. He specifically named Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff as among the "great people" who called him and urged him to call off the deployment. Trump said that he was giving San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie a "chance to turn it around." "They want to give it a 'shot,' Trump said of the two CEOs. "Therefore, we will not surge San Francisco on Saturday."

Daniel Lurie, who campaigned on revitalizing the city's economy and restoring its global standing, isn't just glad-handing; his presence underscores an overdue détente between City Hall and the startup community, which is currently experiencing an AI-driven renaissance even as the city grapples with pandemic aftershocks. Empty downtown offices and escalating skepticism about tech's impact have strained the relationship, but the AI boom has brought renewed energy - and investment - back to the city.
