SF is... still so big to me. Everyone says this city can feel pretty small, but there's still so much I haven't seen.

What are you up to these days? I just moved to San Francisco in September so I'm all about exploring the city and seeking out the crispiest, yummiest pork bits around. 

Where's your secret spot?  "Pizza Club" night.  Every week my friends Claire and Bonnie Kate make insanely delicious pizza and invite a bunch of friends over to eat, drink, and kick it. The fact that I get to play with Captain, their painfully adorable Malamute puppy, is only icing on the cake.

Where do you get your local gossip? Does Johnny FunCheap count?

Where's your go-to date place?  I love this question because it assumes I get asked out on dates.

Why do you love your neighborhood? It's flat - I can ride my bike around without the fear of running into a massive hill.  More importantly though, quality restaurants, shops, galleries, and activities are abundant.  The reason I haven't gotten around to exploring other parts of the city yet is because the Mission is so packed with places to check out that I don't feel justified digging in to another neighborhood until I figure out "my spots."
