Morgan Hill icon serves its final milkshake and burger

Morgan Hill icon serves its final milkshake and burger

By Brittney Sherman

From ice cream and milkshakes to burgers and fries, Dari Delite Drive-In has been a Morgan Hill fan favorite since 1978. Family owned and operated by the Kim family since day one, they have served the community with a smile and a kind word for more than 47 years. It was with a heavy heart that we learned of the Kim family’s sale of Dari Delite earlier this year. The Kim family and the quaint building with its nostalgic diner vibes have become an icon of Morgan Hill that will never be forgotten. A heartfelt “thank you” to the Kim family for their dedication and commitment to the Morgan Hill Community and best wishes on their next adventure.

Where culture, community, and hospitality thrive

Where culture, community, and hospitality thrive

By Brittney Sherman

When Dan McCranie decided to build an art gallery in Downtown Morgan Hill, he made clear he wanted none of the white walls and sharp lines found in traditional galleries. Instead, he mixed materials, shapes, colors and used mass-timber to design a building that in itself is a piece of art. Cura Contemporary Art Gallery exhibits both emerging and mid-career artists from the Bay Area and beyond in an open and engaging environment. Representing a large variety of styles and mediums, the featured artwork gives a fresh perspective and often has a deep connection to process and materiality. In addition to thoughtfully curated exhibitions, the gallery will host artist workshops, unique culinary experiences, and special events. It is truly a space where culture, community, and hospitality are blended and celebrated.
