Where do you get your city gossip? Eavesdropping on Muni.

What's your own secret spot? This little nook in Lafayette Park or in a corner of some random book shop that I wander into.

What local merchant have you been meaning to check out? My buddies Nish and Michael who used to work at Yelp with me started this rad tee-shirt company called Rich Kid Cool. It's still somewhat in stealth mode, but the suspense is keeping me on the edge of my seat, much like that of the next season of Glee!

Where would you eat your last meal on earth? The House in North Beach

Where's your go-to date place? One of two bars: The Black Sheep or Amelie on Polk.

Why do you love your neighborhood? I am close enough to the Marina to run in Crissy Field, close enough to Polk Street to hit up my local wine bars and dives, and close enough to downtown to walk to work when I am feeling brave enough to walk back home through the TL in the dark.
