Christopher Burnett, owner of SoMa's Darwin Cafe, is in the process of reviving the Purple Onion address with a new DBA of Doc Rickett's. The concept hasn't been revealed, but it's safe to say that this will contribute to an enlivened feeling on the streets of North Beach (see: Tosca, Naked Lunch Pub & Grill) in the coming year. [Chron]
