Oakland-based soul food staple to open at Fisherman's Wharf in SF
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — A longtime staple for soul food in Oakland is opening its first location in one of San Francisco's most-visited tourist attractions. Everett & Jones BBQ is opening at Fisherman's Wharf, according to the Port of San Francisco.
The restaurant will span about 4,363 square feet across two floors. Everett & Jones will be located at 300 Jefferson St., which is the former home of Lou's Fish Shack that closed in 2020 due to pandemic-related reasons, the port said. It is a short walk across the street from In-N-Out.
Everett & Jones signed a 10-year lease that is estimated to total about $1.82 million across the term, according to the Port of San Francisco. That's about $152,000 per year for base rent, plus the likelihood of an annual rent increase. The restaurant has two five-year options to renew, pending the SF Board of Supervisor's approval.
Grocery Outlet to take over vacant Fisherman's Wharf site
The opening of Everett & Jones fills a void of soul food at Fisherman's Wharf. According to the Port of San Francisco, the opening will support its following objectives of 'Economic Growth,' 'Economic Recovery,' 'Equity' and 'Engagement and Public Awareness.'
'When the restaurant opens, it will fill a void for a full-service restaurant on Jefferson Street in Fisherman's Wharf, serving locals and visitors alike,' the Port of San Francisco wrote.
According to Tripadvisor, Everett & Jones is rated the 18th best (out of 1,338) restaurant in Oakland. Everett & Jones was founded in Oakland's Jack London Square back in 1973. The restaurant has received attention from national publications such as Forbes.
There are currently two Everett & Jones locations in the Bay Area — both in Oakland. There is one at 126 Broadway and another at 4245 MacArthur Blvd. There was an Antioch location that closed after two years.

Waymo suspends service in parts of San Francisco amid recent ICE protests
(KRON) — Waymo suspended service in parts of San Francisco on Monday, according to a company spokesperson. Service for the driverless taxi service was halted amid recent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protests in the city that became violent. The Waymo spokesperson did not specify where in San Francisco service will be suspended. The autonomous vehicle company says it is aware of the potential protests in the city. As a precaution, Waymo is not providing service in those areas. Waymo is in contact with local authorities in San Francisco to determine where it may need to halt service in the city. Another protest against ICE is set to take place in San Francisco Monday evening at the 24th and Mission BART Plaza. On Sunday evening, hundreds gathered outside the ICE building on Sansome Street in the Financial District. More than 150 arrests were made as the rally turned violent, with vandalism committed across the area. Multiple Waymos were vandalized in San Francisco, including one that was spray-painted (see photo below). BART station shuts down, Muni diverted due to SF ICE rally Protests against ICE are at a much larger scale in downtown Los Angeles where Waymo has suspended service in that portion of the city. Waymo received guidance from the Los Angeles Police Department to halt service amid multiple driverless taxis being set on fire and vandalized. One Waymo driverless car is between an estimated $150,000 and $200,000 each, according to a 2024 report by the Wall Street Journal. KRON4 reached out to the Mountain View-headquartered Waymo for information about the suspension of service. We did not hear back in time for this report. KTLA's Iman Palm contributed to this story.

We recently posted a story sharing TripAdvisor's ranking on where to get the best pizza in Binghamton.

Last week, we asked you to send your nominations for the best pizza in Greater Binghamton.

Meet the mayor of Rockefeller Center — yes, that's a real job title
Amid the metro mayhem of New York City's Rockefeller Center, CJ — Correll Jones — has become as sturdy a presence as the iconic plaza he's welcomed guests to for the last 23 years. That's why his business card reads: 'Mayor of Rockefeller Center.' 8 CJ's business card reads 'Mayor of Rockefeller Center.' Brian Zak/NY Post And just like his title requires, CJ spends his days making sure things are running smoothly and people are happy running around the complex of 19 commercial buildings covering 22 acres between 48th Street and 51st Street in Midtown Manhattan. He spends his days roaming around Rockefeller Center with his hundred-watt smile in his gray suit and doorman's top hat, greeting those who work in the area, helping tourists get where they're going and making sure that everyone in the crowd is safe and satisfied. A New York icon Jones, who was born and bred in Brooklyn, where he still resides, began his career as a greeter at the University Club in 1983. That's where Rob Speyer, the chief executive of the Tishman Speyer real estate firm, which owns Rockefeller Center, met Jones and offered him the job down the street in 2002. 8 Jones has been at his post since 2002. Brian Zak/NY Post 'He saw something in me that I didn't even see in myself. And he stole me away from the club. And then he brought me here to Rockefeller Center,' Jones told The Post. 'I want you to know I think it was one of the best moves I could ever make in my entire life.' Ever since, he has spent his days roaming the center, making sure everyone is getting where they need to go with a smile on their face. Monday through Friday, he arrives on the subway at 8:30 a.m. and heads home to the missus at 5:45 p.m. — during the holiday season, he also works some weekends. 'This is the center of the world,' Jones claims. 'It's a one-of-a-kind place.' 8 For Jones, seeing the sparkle in tourists' eyes is his favorite part of the job. Brian Zak/NY Post I <3 NY Of course, Rockefeller Center is home to shows like 'Saturday Night Live,' 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon' and the 'Today Show.' But when asked about the celebrities he clearly must see daily, he casually confirms Kenan Thompson, Jimmy Fallon, Hoda Kotb and Al Roker as good friends — but leaves it at that. He even deemed Roker the deputy mayor of Rockefeller Center in 2021 when the journalist shadowed him for a segment. 8 Jones, seen here with Rockefeller Center's head gardener Erik Pauze, knows everyone who passes through regularly. James Keivom 'I think he got a kick out of that,' Jones said. He's been featured on the 'Today Show,' 'The Tonight Show' and 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' — the latter of which provided him and about 200 other NYC doormen five days and four nights in St. Lucia. 'Oh, you know I went,' he confirmed. 'That was one of the nicest things I've gotten working here.' He admitted that he's received countless invites from his high-profile profession, but they don't usually strike a sparkly chord. 'I ain't sticking my neck nowhere unless there is a free ticket,' he quipped. 8 Jones is humble about his celebrity pals. Brian Zak/NY Post Jones doesn't really get starstruck and breezes past most questions about A-listers. He's just as happy to chat with a tourist and help them find the subway as he is to step onto a sound stage. 'The best thing about this job is when you help somebody and you give them good directions, or you take their picture and then they come back a year or two years or three years later, and they say, 'You know, I remember you.' Stuff like that, it's a treat,' Jones said. However, he was proud to show off a photo of former President Bill Clinton clapping him on the back. Jones recalled that he'd met the former commander in chief several times but was taken aback when he asked for him by name. 'He came out of the building and asked, 'Where is CJ?' and stopped and took a picture with me and put his hand on my shoulder,' he shared. He was honored that the 'charismatic' public figure stopped to chat with him for about 15 minutes and waved off his guards who tried to keep him moving. 'And then he walked down Fifth Avenue, and I had to be like, 'C'mon that's the president walking down Fifth Avenue.' Unbelievable. That was special,' Jones said, smiling and shaking his head. 8 CJ has been featured on the 'Today Show,' 'Jimmy Fallon' and 'The Kelly Clarkson Show.' Brian Zak/NY Post Toast of the town Most New Yorkers huff and puff about avoiding the popular tourist attraction — especially during the holidays — but recent years have seen it transform and the mayor loves to see it. Above all, Jones appreciates seeing the awe it brings to those seeing it for the first time up close. 'There's so much excitement here that I don't think there's another place like it. I tell people here that sometimes we take it for granted, but to see the faces of people who have never been to New York and never been in Rock Center when they look up and say, 'Wow,' that's the thrill for me,' he explained. 8 While most NYC residents moan about the holiday season, Jones says it's the most magical. DANIEL WILLIAM MCKNIGHT 'What's unique about this job is that you see a new tourist every day, and then you see the glitter in their eyes because of how unique this building is or how neat this city is.' And to the disapproval of most New Yorkers — and many of his co-workers — he thinks it only gets more magical once the Christmas tree goes up. He's the face everyone knows — just stand by him for five minutes and be wowed at the number of people who stop to say hi. Everyone seems to light up brighter than the Christmas tree when they see Jones. To honor his legacy, he's just had a drink named after him at the newly opened Pebble Bar at The Rink, the outdoor bar that's opened next to the Prometheus statue — Jones's favorite piece of art in the area. The delicious drink — an $80 shareable pitcher of margarita for four — will be served at the seasonal bar all summer long. 8 At the nearby Pebble Bar, Jones now has a drink named after him: an $80 shareable pitcher of margarita for four. Brian Zak/NY Post 'It's really crazy,' Jones said. 'To sit there and have a drink and take a picture with Prometheus, you can't go wrong.' 'I am going to bring the missus to come in and try the drink. I'm also telling all of my tenants and my tourists and everybody that I know at Rock Center about it.'
