George Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a captivating blend of cultures and architectural heritage, where crimson three-wheeled rickshaws glide past ornate Chinese clan temples and colorful shophouses transformed into restaurants and hotels. Among them is Soori Penang, a hotel that breathes new life into the city’s historic architecture.
Along and just off the half-mile stretch known as the Street of Harmony, four distinct places of worship stand within a short rickshaw ride of one another. In Penang, food is another expression of cultural unity. The island’s celebrated hawker stalls serve up fiery, subtly smoky char koay teow noodles and tangy assam laksa. Some are even counted among the island’s 27 Bib Gourmand-recognized establishments, offering an authentic taste of Penang’s vibrant culinary heritage.

A San Francisco landmark is making a long-awaited comeback!
After nearly 20 years behind closed doors, the iconic Julius’ Castle on Telegraph Hill is preparing to welcome guests again on November 12.
Originally opened in 1922 by Julius Roz, this distinctive castle became a beloved restaurant and gathering place for celebrities, artists, politicians, and San Francisco locals. With its turret, shingled Arts and Crafts exterior, and spectacular views of the Bay, Alcatraz, and the Bay Bridge, it was one of the city's most unforgettable dining destinations before closing in 2007.
Its revival has been more than a decade in the making. Owner Paul Scott purchased the neglected property in 2012 and spent years navigating permitting challenges, neighborhood concerns, a fire, landslides, and even a pandemic to bring the historic building back to life. Along the way, original walnut woodwork, dozens of wood-framed windows, and architectural.
