The Nob Hill Gazette is a regional monthly magazine founded in 1978 by San Francisco businessman and socialite Gardner Mein, who operated the title until 1986.[1] The magazine, which provides a people-focused account of San Francisco culture, philanthropy and accomplishment, is home-delivered to San Francisco's most exclusive neighborhoods, including Pacific Heights, Nob Hill, Seacliff, Russian Hill, the Marina and others.[2]
Along with timely coverage of high-profile charitable and social events, the magazine features long-form interviews, profiles of local luminaries, stories on fashion, health, beauty, money, real estate, travel, food and wine.[3]
From 1986 until 2016, the magazine was owned and published by Lois Lehrman, the magazine's former advertising director and longtime fixture on the San Francisco social scene.[4] The magazine flourished under Lehrman's ownership, becoming the publication-of-record for high-society gatherings and marquee charitable events in San Francisco with editor Merla Zellerbach at the helm for more than a decade.[5]
After 30 years at the helm, Lehrman sold the title to San Francisco businessman Clint Reilly in 2016.[6] The magazine was joined in the Clint Reilly Communications stable by Gentry Magazine in September 2020,[7] and the San Francisco Examiner[8] and SF Weekly in December 2020.[9]
