Dianne de Guzman is a deputy editor at Eater SF writing about Bay Area restaurant and bar trends, upcoming openings, and pop-ups. Sweeping views of the ocean anchor the updated Monterey Beach Hotel, but the views will have some competition for attention at its new restaurant the Lantern Room between consulting chef Paul Corsentino’s seasonal menu and the freshly designed decor by ROY Hospitality. Still, a dining room wall is dedicated to water-facing windows — they’re large enough to remind Corsentino of his time working at sea. “When I walk out into the dining room, I have the same vibe that I’m on a cruise ship,” Corsentino says, “it’s so on the ocean. It’s really cool.”

Manhattan, NY

With its chummy atmosphere and eclectic decor, memories of the Bushwick original from its early days in 2008 filled my mind as I wormed my way into the Penn One complex, called the Penn District — past the Los Tacos No. 1 and a new gelato space — looking for the new Roberta’s, the first standalone in Manhattan. Technically, its two-story structure, the latest in an unusual succession of projects from Carlo Mirarchi and Brandon Hoy, has no proper street address.

Could the Roberta’s at Penn Station Be the City’s Best New Italian Spot?

When it came to pushing his palate past his comfort zone, the late Anthony Bourdain was a risk-taker. His famous "grandma rule" led him to try all sorts of unusual foods—even beating cobra hearts. This curiosity and willingness to try anything made him incredibly adept at creating mouth-watering concoctions in the kitchen, like his mortadella sandwich.

If you are reading this and have still not seen Reservation Dogs, I am sure I’m not the first to tell you that you’re missing out. The FX dramedy is beloved — critically acclaimed, and now (finally) Emmy-nominated — for its depiction of life on a reservation in the Muscogee (Creek) Nation in Oklahoma. While Okern, the town where main characters Bear, Elora, Willie Jack, and Cheese come of age across three seasons, is technically fictional, the world at the center of the show is specific and finely drawn, thanks to the show’s Seminole/Muscogee Creek co-creator and executive producer Sterlin Harjo and his team of Indigenous collaborators.

Portland, OR

After opening some of Portland’s most revered restaurants celebrating Mexican cuisine, what had initially irked Republica co-founder Angel Medina had come to dominate his professional thoughts: He’d hired diverse teams across the city, and yet, none of those people, their faces, or even their hands regularly appeared in front of the camera whenever media companies parachuted in. So, he took hold of the camera and decided to tell stories about hospitality workers in the Rose City himself.
