SF is... right where I want to be.

Where would you have your last meal on earth? Without a doubt you'd find me sitting at the counter at Plow in Potrero Hill, drinking coffee and eating their namesake breakfast... and I'd probably order an extra side of lemon ricotta pancakes.

Where do you get your local gossip? I try to steer clear of gossip, but Instagram is an easy way to see what everyone is up to.

Who's your favorite quintessential local character? Probably the Dog-Cat-Rat Guy or Brian Wilson... it's a toss up.

Where's your secret spot? The playground in South Park is so charming and it sounds super cheesy, but a few minutes on the swings makes me feel like a kid again.

What's your favorite under-the-radar SF restaurant? Mr. Pollo is great for an intimate and unique experience.

Where do you go to relax and get away from it all? I love running (or walking) to the top of Bernal Hill to enjoy the views of the city and since it's a popular spot for dog walkers, I get my canine fix!

What local merchant have you been meaning to check out? I just met the girls of Pretty Parlor, and I can't wait to check out their mobile parlor!

What would you change about SF? I'd love to rid this city of BIKE THIEVERY!
