Neighborhood: Bernal Heights

Gig: Community Arts & Education Program Associate, San Francisco Arts Commission; Board Secretary, Asian American Women Artists Association

What are you up to these days? I am unlearning my natural instinct to stay at home and forcing myself to paint the town while still in my twentysomethings.

What event will we find you at this week? At happy hour nursing one drink, maybe two, and indulging the discounted food menu.

Where's your secret spot? Green Apple Books. I love the smell of old and independent.

Where's your go-to date place? I know it’s cliché, but I love the Castro Theatre. It’s conveniently located and plays all my favorite classic movies.

Why do you love your neighborhood? I grew up in Bernal Heights, so I’m quite nostalgically attached to the area, particularly Good Life Grocery and the library branch.
