NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
SAN FRANCISCO – The Super Bowl is returning to the Bay Area for the first time in a decade on Sunday, and San Francisco 49ers stars think it’s a wise choice.
Levi’s Stadium hosted Super Bowl L, Peyton Manning’s final game, while Stanford Stadium was the venue for Super Bowl XIX, when the nearby 49ers defeated the Miami Dolphins, 38-16.
“It’s a historic city with so much character. The food, the hills, the homes, the water, the bridge, the whole thing. It’s just such a great city, too, and it’s really cool to see it come to life even more than it already is,” Christian McCaffrey told Fox News Digital on radio row ahead of the big game.

“Man, I think San Francisco has so much to offer,” quarterback Brock Purdy added. “Just, obviously, with the restaurants, the experiences, just how pretty it is out here with the Golden Gate Bridge and the ocean. It’s a great city, great people. So to have the Super Bowl out here is really cool.”
Levy Restaurants has also made its way to the Bay Area for the big game. Fred Warner got a chance to sneak a peek at their Super Bowl menu while he was nursing his injury and watching his Niners play from Levi’s Stadium suites.

“I had the pleasure of trying out some of their items that they’re gonna have on Super Bowl Sunday up in my suite during this past season. They had the steak frites, which were delicious, man, that’s right up my alley, some delicious steak and french fry combination there. Crab nachos, which were fantastic. Some short ribs, so they got some really good options, man. I think it’s gonna be a hit.”
Warner also echoed his teammates’ sentiments about the California city.
“I think it’s just because it’s a melting pot, man. Just all the different cultures mixing, all the diversity and mixing together,” Warner said. “You can get a little bit of everything that you’re looking for out here, and of course, playing in the greatest stadium in the entire NFL, Levi’s Stadium, you can’t beat it, and so I think it’s gonna be a great Super Bowl Sunday and a great week as well with all the different activities that they got planned for everybody.”

The actual game is roughly an hour outside of San Francisco itself, but the Super Bowl experience and Radio Row were all in the heart of the city at the Moscone Center.

A Pacific Heights mansion that was once the priciest listing in San Francisco has traded hands as the already-hot spring market continues getting hotter.
The six-bedroom home at 2830 Pacific Avenue was initially listed in 2023 for $35 million before dropping to $27.5 million last spring and ultimately selling last week at that price, the San Francisco Business Times reported.
The seller was listed in records as Helena Trust, an entity tied to Hennessey Capital President Rajiv Ghatalia. Ghatalia bought the property in 2010 for nearly $8.4 million. The buyer is an LLC dubbed Almost Heaven, linked in state business records to the address of San Francisco-based financial services firm Andersen, though the buyer’s identity is unknown. Ghatalia and his wife are downsizing after their children moved out, according to the Business Times.
The Georgian Colonial home was built in 1910 and spans roughly 9,400 square feet. A 2012 renovation brought the home into the 21st century with a seismic retrofit, updated systems and a 1,500-bottle wine cellar. The home also has one of the first residential elevators in the city.
The sale arrives as fresh trophy listings continue to hit the market this spring. Homes priced above $5 million are seeing increased competition, driven in part by tech wealth and limited inventory in the city, which industry observers view as a symptom of the artificial intelligence boom as deep-pocketed buyers in the tech industry move into town. That surge in demand at the higher end of the market has led to a so-called mansion shortage, especially in tony neighborhoods like Pacific Heights.
Late last month, a Russian Hill mansion tied to Gap’s founding family hit the market for the first time. That home at 888 Francisco Street is listed for nearly $17.3 million. Also last month, a Pacific Heights property sold for $56 million, representing the priciest sale in the city so far this year, while another Pac Heights home at 2602 Jackson Street hit the market for $22.5 million. It’s not just single-family homes, either. A penthouse sold last month for more than $10 million, the Business Times reported.

The West Seattle Junction space formerly occupied by Willow, preceded by Fleurt, will not be empty for long. A familiar Junction fashion entrepreneur is moving into 4536 California SW – here’s the announcement:
Well-known West Seattle staple Carmilia’s announced today that it will open a new store in the Alaska Junction, offering everything from skincare products to fashion accessories. The new store, located at 4536 California Ave SW, formerly home to Fleurt and Willow, will do a soft opening on Art Walk Night, May 14, 2026. Carmilia’s owner, Linda Walsh, is at the helm of the project.
The store will be filled with all of Walsh’s favorite things: shoes, accessories, and gifts, at a variety of price points. It’s the perfect place to find unique and playful items for your next celebration or shopping spree. The store’s scheduled hours are Wednesday-Saturday 11 am-6 pm, and Sunday 10 am-4 pm.
Walsh told us she hasn’t yet settled on a name, so if you pass the future shop’s windows you will probably see “Watch This Space” as a placeholder!
