Petite Lil's offers a preview of a yet-to-open French restaurant in North Beach, featuring oysters, tinned fish, and a 32-ounce bone-in tomahawk served until 1am.

“Then once we opened, people have just [had] honestly positive, amazing energy, and it's been busy, so that's a good thing,” said Gaga.

"Airports, just like other concessions and concepts out there, are becoming more experiential. The airport that you're visiting can be just as much of a destination as where you're going, so it's a reflection of the local city."

To create a martini that pairs seamlessly with oysters, the infusion of nori into gin provides a unique savory twist that elevates the drink's profile.
