My favorite way to find an interesting restaurant while traveling is to go off-line, off-guidebook and wander neighborhood streets. Step in, take in the menu, the food and the crowd, and it's not that hard to find a delightful spot. Bistro Central Parc north...

Being "in the weeds" is usually a bad thing for a cook - it's kitchen shorthand for being overwhelmed. But for a group of chefs who've turned abandoned gardens near downtown Napa into a flourishing source of fresh produce, it's a point of honor. "Now it...

Gather: The environment never used to be much of a concern in bars, where people tend to want to leave their worries behind - including those about the planet. But Gather in Berkeley, which opened late last year, has one of a growing number of cocktail...

To an emerging stretch of Folsom Street, Schmidt's has brought a lederhosen-free dose of Germany that wouldn't be out of place in Berlin's trendier quarters. This bar and cafe from Walzwerk owner Christiane Schmidt and her partner, David Pierce, presents a...

New York artist Chris Gentile considers himself a photographer, but one could make a case for calling him a conceptualist or installation maker. Gentile's photographs at Gregory Lind document ephemeral projects done in his studio. One involved him wrapping...

Montana sculptor Deborah Butterfield produces good work so consistently that she almost makes me want to see her stumble, just to know whether I could catch her at it. The recent work at Paule Anglim continues Butterfield's endless fascination with horses as...

Clarion is an alley connecting Valencia to Mission, between a cop shop and a crack market, with murals of devils and angels and a moving stairway to heaven. Close by is the Women's Building, a colorful paean to female heroes and goddesses, from Guatemalan...

At first glance, Thomas Cleary is an unlikely expert on war, weaponry and man's ability to destroy. The Oakland author and translator of some 80 spiritual texts is gentle and soft-spoken, perfectly suited for poring over ancient works in hushed libraries....
