Al Pastor Papi's downtown San Francisco location is now open
What we know
The new pop-ups include a Mexico-City-style taqueria, an interactive art studio and a clothing retailer.
The Vacant to Vibrant program transforms empty storefronts into vibrant community spaces.
Back in April, we reported on founder and head chef Miguel Escobedo's plans to turn his food truck, Al Pastor Papi, into a brick and mortar store. Now that location at 232 O'Farrell Street is open and serving his sumptuous, award-winning al pastor cooked on a spit roast, or 'El Trompo' for those who are in the know.
Escobedo's bold Mexican flavors will be accessible in what the program calls one of the city's most high-traffic corridors.
In a news release on Wednesday, Ecobedo said he's honored to bring a taste of Mexico City's street food to downtown.
"This is about sharing our culture, feeding both locals and visitors, and proving that community, culture, and our signature tacos can help spark San Francisco's transformation," Escobedo said.
Following Al Pastor Papi's Wednesday grand opening is Craftivity, the interactive art studio offers hands-on maker experiences and team-building workshops. Crafitvity opens Friday, June 13 at 215 Fremont Street. Both of these businesses will celebrate soft openings for the month of June. Patrons are asked to follow along on social media to see upcoming events and announcements.
Perhaps Nooworks, a local apparel brand, is putting the 'vibrant' in this program's name. Their colors and artist-designed prints are bold and so is that fact that they offer inclusive sizing. Nooworks Union Square location at 236 Powell is now open.
"Bringing back Downtown San Francisco means creating spaces to make this area into a thriving 24/7 neighborhood," said Mayor Daniel Lurie. "We're just getting started - and we'll keep investing in small businesses to power our city's comeback."
The ongoing Vacant to Vibrant project has been revitalizing underused spaces in San Francisco that were vacated, especially during the pandemic.

Tariff roulette
Presented by Send tips | Subscribe here | Email Canada Playbook | Follow Politico Canada Welcome to a week that could define Canada's economic future — or deepen its trade crisis. In today's edition of Canada Playbook: → As Canada hopes for an August deal, Trump is chasing trade wins elsewhere. → A midsummer dollop of news on interest rates and economic growth. → Why EU Ambassador GENEVIÈVE TUTS is hawkish on transatlantic bonds. Trade war SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER — Aug. 1 approaches, the day Canada and the U.S. are expected to strike a new economic and security deal — or not. Prime Minister MARK CARNEY and President DONALD TRUMP have recently sought to temper expectations. — He's just not that into you: The White House has informed Canada that it is not the priority at the moment, Playbook has learned. Trump, who is in Europe, is focused on securing agreements with other countries, like India. — Get in line: In Scotland on Sunday, Trump struck a trade deal with the European Union, locking in a 15 percent tariff. It follows his deal with Japan last week, though there are questions about that one. → Trump's Canada take: 'We haven't really had a lot of luck with Canada,' the president told reporters outside the White House on Friday. 'I think Canada could be one where they'll just pay tariffs, not really a negotiation,' he said. — State of play: The president is unpredictable, and Canadian officials don't often know what he's going to do until he does it. — For example: Trump caught Canada off guard when he paused negotiations over the digital services tax. He blindsided them again when he sent Carney a letter to say tariffs on Canadian goods would increase to 35 percent on Aug. 1. — The devil in the details: The White House is playing coy about whether the 35 percent tariff would exempt goods that comply with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. While the U.S. has suggested that would be the case, the decision ultimately lies with Trump. Canada will view the lack of an exemption as a serious setback at the table. → Why it matters: That exemption would mean most Canadian businesses would retain tariff-free access to the U.S. market. 'The vast majority of Canadian goods and services are tariff-free,' Carney told reporters last week in Hamilton, Ontario. — In related news: The Globe's JASON KIRBY and MARK RENDELL explain why in a world of tariff pain, USMCA gives Canada an edge — for now. — But, but, but: Trump's tariffs are hammering four Canadian sectors: steel, aluminum, autos and lumber. Another could soon be hit: Trump said a new 50 percent tariff on imported copper will take effect Aug. 1. — Where we go from here: Canada is looking for certainty, so it can provide relief for impacted sectors and stability to investors. So far, officials have been dodging questions about further retaliation, but the Liberal government previously promised to match Trump's tariffs on aluminum if they don't reach a deal. — Worth noting: The Globe's NOJOUD AL MALLEES reports that the government collected about C$1.5 billion more in import duties in April and May over the same period last year, a 180 percent increase thanks to countertariffs. — Trump insists: He will negotiate with 'three or four other countries' before Aug. 1. Others will have just his letter. 'Most of the others are going to be a certain tariff and we're going to keep it as low as we can. They're generally smaller countries or countries we don't do much business with, but they've already received, to a large extent, they've received a letter,' Trump said Sunday. → Coming up: Trump said countries that don't get a deal will receive a confirmation letter this week. Commerce Secretary HOWARD LUTNICK said other countries can keep talking to Trump beyond that date. 'I mean, he's always willing to listen. And between now and then, I think the president's going to talk to a lot of people. Whether they can make him happy is another question,' Lutnick said on 'Fox News Sunday.' Negotiators on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border will keep talking. — In related reading from POLITICO: 'Donaldddddd': Foreign leaders schmooze Trump on his personal cell. THREE THINGS WE'RE WATCHING ECONOMIC INDICATORS This week's data could reinforce fears Canada is tipping into recession: — On Wednesday, interest rates: Most bank economists think TIFF MACKLEM will hold the Bank of Canada's policy rate steady at 2.75 percent. Macklem also stood pat in June and April announcements after seven consecutive cuts dating to 2024. 'At this point, there is a bit less than a 50% chance of even one cut priced in for the rest of 2025,' BMO's DOUG PORTER wrote in a lookahead note. In their own note, RBC's CLAIRE FAN and ABBEY XU sized up the impact of stubbornly high core inflation measures, a 'weakening but relatively resilient economic backdrop' and the potential for increased federal spending amid the threat of permanent tariffs. Their conclusion: 'We do not expect the [bank] will cut again in this cycle.' — On Thursday, GDP data: Most bank economists are projecting a slight turn to the negative for month-over-month May numbers. Porter raised the specter of an economy that shrinks in the second quarter of 2025. A decline in consecutive quarters meets the technical definition of recession. (But remember: Q1 GDP grew by 2.2 percent — exceeding expectations.) THE EPSTEIN CRISIS Scandal dominates U.S. newscycles as fallout continues: The president failed to move the news cycle past JEFFREY EPSTEIN last week, and the narrative shows no sign of fading. — In related reading: ANKUSH KHARDORI, a senior writer for POLITICO Magazine and a former federal prosecutor at the Department of Justice, annotates shifts in the Trump administration's rhetoric in response to the scandal. INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE TO GAZA Canada continues to recalibrate its foreign policy: Foreign Affairs Minister ANITA ANAND is in New York today for a United Nations conference on achieving a Palestinian state, The Star reports. Prime Minister MARK CARNEY has called Israel's 'denial of humanitarian aid' in Gaza 'a violation of international law.' The PM has stopped short of following France, which will recognize a Palestinian state in September, the first G7 nation to do so. Trump is also due to meet with British PM KEIR STARMER today to talk about the need for a ceasefire in Gaza. THE ROOMS THAT MATTER — PM Carney will make an affordability announcement in Prince County, Prince Edward Island at 9:30 a.m. — Former PM STEPHEN HARPER will deliver a keynote at the Midwestern Legislative Conference annual meeting in Saskatoon at 9:30 a.m. local time. Topic: The importance and future of the Canada-U.S. relationship. PLAYBOOK'S ONE-ON-ONE 'NOT JUST … BLAH BLAH BLAH' — As the PM talks a big game about reducing Canada's dependence on the United States, the European Union's top envoy in Canada insists transatlantic bonds are tightening between Ottawa and Brussels. 'Something is happening now, very concretely, not just political blah blah blah,' GENEVIÈVE TUTS told Playbook in an interview in her office on Friday. — Seriously: Tuts described June's EU-Canada summit as 'not just symbolic,' but a 'crucial' and 'historic' moment for the longtime allies in the face of geopolitical uncertainty and global tariff tension. 'I felt a real commitment to deliver on very concrete topics.' — Once more, with feeling: 'This was not a show,' said Tuts, whose note-taking tic — we all have one — is repeatedly drawing circles around her scribbles. 'This was a strong willingness, and this was sincere.' — More trade, please: Tuts was hawkish on expanding business takeup on the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement — Canada's free-trade deal with the EU first applied provisionally in 2017. 'It's good, but we could go from good to great,' she says. The 'main challenge' is making sure businesses that do trade are aware of CETA, Tuts said. She points to a new EU-Canada industrial policy dialogue, as well as nascent negotiations on a digital trade agreement, as opportunities to get the word out. → There's an app for that: Tuts nodded to creative solutions to 'matchmaking' companies on opposite sides of the Atlantic. 'I had a discussion in Brussels with one of my colleagues who was even talking about having an app, a sort of Tinder CETA, to organize this matchmaking process,' Tuts said. — Let's talk: Our colleagues in Europe have reported on formal talks between the European Commission and Canada, as well as Japan, to coordinate responses to Trump tariffs. → Well, d'uh: Tuts described those conversations as a no-brainer. 'This is not surprising that people facing the same challenges, people who are allies and friends, talk to each other,' she told us. 'The relationship between President von der Leyen and Prime Minister Carney is very good. They know each other. They speak the same language. They understand each other. And they talk to each other on a regular basis.' — ICYMI: HBD +2 to Tuts, who celebrated Saturday. MORNING MUST-CLICKS — 'There's no shortage of people in Ottawa trying to think big thoughts.

Guardians at trade deadline: Teams want Emmanuel Clase, Shane Bieber, but will Cleveland sell?
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ahead of Friday's series opener between the Cleveland Guardians and Kansas City Royals, an executive offered a familiar trade deadline thesis. 'I think we have a good team right here. We believe in a lot of the guys we have. We're starting to see signs of the offense coming to life, which is really what's been missing all year. So, we're as confident as we've been in this team, and the pitching is still doing a phenomenal job. We just have to be open-minded to different ways to make our team better.' Advertisement No, that wasn't a Cleveland executive describing the Guardians' state of affairs. It was J.J. Picollo, the Royals' president of baseball operations, though it sounded like he was reading off a Chris Antonetti cue card. The Guardians and Royals are in similar positions. So, too, are the Minnesota Twins, Texas Rangers, Tampa Bay Rays, St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants. They're all hanging around the wild-card chase and have to determine by Thursday evening whether they want to bolster their chances, shift their focus to 2026 or stand pat. Having three wild-card berths in each league not only keeps more teams in the mix but also stifles and complicates trade activity. So, how do teams like the Guardians approach this week? Well, it started with surveying their fellow front offices in early July to get a sense of who might become available later in the month. Then, they diverted their attention to the draft for a few days. Now, the trade conversations, in all forms, have resumed and gained steam. The Guardians, figuring a more inviting part of the schedule could fuel a pre-deadline surge, prepared themselves so that no matter their ultimate path forward — buying, selling, both, neither — they had done the legwork on each approach. It's why Picollo, for instance, wouldn't classify the Royals as strictly buyers or sellers but instead said, 'We're in the business of getting better,' noting that could mean in 2025 or the future. The Royals have added two position players in recent days: second baseman Adam Frazier and outfielder Randal Grichuk. Neither veteran is going to transform what's been a lackluster lineup, but it surely signals — along with extending pitcher Seth Lugo — a more aggressive approach than the Guardians have exhibited, despite a similarly deficient offense and a nearly identical record. Aside from perhaps prospect C.J. Kayfus, no internal reinforcements for Cleveland's lineup are on the way, thanks to injuries to Chase DeLauter, Juan Brito and Lane Thomas. If the Guardians want to stay in the race, they'll need an outside addition or two to their lineup. Advertisement The Guardians weathered a 10-game skid and have since won 12 of 17. Meanwhile, the Detroit Tigers are in a free fall. They once led Cleveland by 15 1/2 games in the AL Central. Now it's eight, and the soft patch in the Guardians' schedule reaches a crescendo this week as they welcome the dreadful Colorado Rockies to Progressive Field. A fascinating (or boring — it could definitely wind up being boring) few days lie ahead. As Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase retreated to the visitors dugout Saturday afternoon, he attempted a frustration-filled kick of Jonathan India's blue helmet, which had rolled away from the Royals' celebration at home plate after his walk-off home run. Clase whiffed on the boot (probably for the best). It was the first walk-off homer he has surrendered since July 16, 2021. He wasn't thrilled with the strike zone in the 10th inning of the first game of the doubleheader. He urged manager Stephen Vogt to let him pitch in the nightcap, and he sealed a Guardians win. Clase is the most prolific closer in franchise history, and despite the India homer, he has resurrected a season that started miserably. Before Saturday, he had logged a 1.10 ERA since May 1. He has three more seasons of team control remaining after 2025, and at less than $30 million total. As far as relievers go, Clase has a bunch of value and a lot of teams calling — all the contenders you'd expect. Clase has heard the chatter and says he doesn't give it much thought. The Guardians tend to move on from pitchers before it's too late — that's how they acquired Clase in the first place, for Corey Kluber in December 2019 — but they certainly don't have to trade Clase this week. That's the message to other teams, too. The Guardians have scouts checking in on prospects for some of the legitimate contenders, due diligence that every team conducts this time of year. (For what it's worth, there's been a throng of pro scouts following the club the last couple of weeks, too, especially with the team playing the Baltimore Orioles, a certain seller, and the Royals, a team in the middle.) Advertisement Is there an offer for Clase that wouldn't exist this winter? For the Guardians to hang around in the race, don't they need Clase, since their lineup isn't going to receive an extreme makeover? These are the debates taking place in the offices at 2401 Ontario St. He sits atop the list of potentially available relievers, though, and there's a long line of teams interested. The Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets, Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays and Tigers all want bullpen help. As one teammate put it: 'No reliever is safe on planet Earth. Not even (Clase), which is crazy. But every team wants him. When you get to the postseason, you need more relievers. No (team) is sitting here today being like, 'I think we're good with the relievers we have.' That's what makes it interesting.' On July 29, 2023, the Guardians sat at 52-53, 1 1/2 games out of a playoff spot. On July 28, 2025, the Guardians sit at 52-53, 3 1/2 games out of a playoff spot. Cleveland's decision to sell in 2023 came pretty late and was fueled, in part, by the notion that it would never be able to obtain more for Aaron Civale than it could at that moment, when it landed Kyle Manzardo from the Rays. Civale's value had peaked. He has been traded twice since and could be dealt a third time in the next few days. Rays execs even acknowledged to members of the Guardians front office at the time that it wasn't the Rays' typical mode of operation. Manzardo was a top 100 prospect, and the Rays drool over future value. But they had first-base depth and needed a win-now move to help their rotation. This year, the Guardians' selling options fall into three categories. In addition to Clase, teams have called about Steven Kwan. He's the exact player the Phillies desire in left field. For the Guardians, it's the same thought process they have with Clase. Is it something they need to do right now, or can they revisit it this winter, especially if long-term extension talks continue to hit a dead end? Advertisement Cade Smith falls into this group, too, but it's almost impossible to envision the Guardians trading him when he has 4 1/2 years of team control remaining and could be the heir apparent to Clase. Carlos Santana's punchless bat — and at 39 years old, that shouldn't be a shocking development — has sapped him of his value, at least at the plate. He remains a skilled defender, but teams aren't exactly lining up for glove-first first basemen this time of year. He likely ranks behind Baltimore's Ryan O'Hearn and, if the Rays make him available, Yandy Díaz in the first-base pecking order. Santana did not crack The Athletic's big board of the top 50 trade candidates. The Seattle Mariners, who tried to sign Santana last winter, opted to deal this week for Josh Naylor, whom Santana replaced in Cleveland. 'Any moment that a team shows interest in you and the product that you bring,' Bo Naylor said of his talk with his brother about the trade, 'and the type of player you are, that's always something to be excited about.' If the Guardians move Santana, they could promote Kayfus from Triple-A Columbus to share first-base/DH duties with Manzardo and David Fry. If Fry could play first base at some point in the final two months — he's throwing out to 90 feet, and one coach said his arm looks great — that would give the front office even more motivation to part with Santana. Vogt, though, sprinkled some doubt on Fry's playing in the field in 2025 and said the focus is for him to catch in 2026. Lane Thomas, another impending free agent, would have been a trade candidate, but his foot has not cooperated. He's likely out until September because of a lingering case of plantar fasciitis. This contract year has been an abject nightmare for him. Paul Sewald, who has a $10 million club option for next year that almost certainly will not be exercised, is on the shelf with a strain in the back of his shoulder. He said himself that it probably eliminates him from trade consideration. And then there's the curious case of Shane Bieber. He logged three innings at Class-A Lake County on Tuesday, but his start Sunday for Triple-A Columbus was rained out. If the Guardians want to move him, there's a market. He's earning $10 million this year and has a $4 million buyout or a $16 million player option for next season. Barring a significant setback, it's difficult to envision him exercising that option, so he should hit free agency this winter. Advertisement The Guardians have received calls on Bieber, and they know all about midseason acquisitions of pitchers recovering from injury. They signed Matthew Boyd and traded for Alex Cobb last summer to rescue their rotation. The starting pitching market is lacking in sizzle — that is, unless the AL Central reshapes the market. Even with Lugo off the board, Bieber and Minnesota's Joe Ryan would be two of the top names on the market. For Cleveland to move Bieber, it would need to acquire a prospect with more potential than whoever it could select with the draft pick it would recoup if Bieber departs in free agency. If the Guardians hold on to him and he opts out, they can submit a qualifying offer (which last year was worth about $21 million for one year). If Bieber rejects that and signs elsewhere for at least $50 million, the Guardians would be awarded a compensatory pick after the first round. If he signs elsewhere for less than $50 million, the Guardians would be awarded a compensatory pick after the second round. If his rescheduled outing takes place Tuesday in Akron, the staff at Canal Park might want to clear some extra seats for scouts. (Top photo of Emmanuel Clase: Nick Cammett / Getty Images)
