SF is... a delicious melting pot of art and culture.

What event will we find you at this week? The Social Barter at the DarTEAling Lounge.

Where would you have your last meal on earth (and what would you eat)? If I had the choice I would probably go home to eat any of my mom’s home cooked meals. Here in SF, I would go to Tropisueño and get the Caldo de Marisco with a side of sweet plantains.

Where do you get your city gossip? I'm not one for gossip; I just stalk people on Facebook. When I seriously want to know what’s going on, I grab a free copy of The Examiner or SF Weekly.

Who's your favorite quintessential local character? Mr. Smiley (pimped out a cappella singer on Powell and Post). His voice is amazing and he always makes me smile.

What's your secret spot in town? Farmer Brown's for Sunday Brunch with my girls! We go for the all-you-can-eat-buffet and the bottomless mimosas… the perfect girls-only date.
