I imagine this would take a considerable amount of additional web development, but I would like to know if Drupal would be the best foundation for a project like this or should I go with something more robust, any suggestions?

With Drupal can I make a site that has many children sites under that?

Lets say its a site for restaurants to house their own websites, broken down by state and city:
New York > Rochester > Olive Garden
Maryland > College Park > Lupos
Michigan > Detroit > Uno's

And each restaurant has their own user management, content management, forums, calendar, galleries, etc and also be able to share content/info/calendar through rss or something.

Also users could register that would be able to participate in these restaurant forums and calendars but not actually add content. These user should be able content to their own galleries and bios.

Basically a bunch of restaurant pages and a bunch of user pages w/ the user being able to join specific restaurants.

OK, I found out by reading the documentation that you can have many drupals using multiple directories, vhost, etc.
And I found users can make their own blogs.

But can these drupals still use site clouds, have a meaningful navigation scheme, and let their users communicate to each other.

lets say "drupal1 > user10" wants to add "drupal 20 > user98" can they add each other as favorites?

Please rephrase your question, I don't understand it.
