SF is... the best little big neighborhood in the west.

Where does everybody know your name? Heart Wine Bar. Not just because I love wine, but my art happens to look great on their walls.

What's your most embarrassing SF moment? Tripping over my red heels and falling on my face while walking up Second Street during morning rush hour – somehow, I saved most of my coffee.

Where would you have your last meal on earth (and what would you eat)? Bar Tartine. All of their pickled items, beef brisket, lots of crusty bread with butter, and a glass of red wine.

Who's your favorite quintessential local character? My neighbor. He's a middle-aged, fully tattooed, '58 Chevy drivin', Rockabilly lovin’, San Francisco native and father of two.

If you can change one thing about San Francisco, what would it be? Install an adult playground in Golden Gate Park.
