SF is... the prize of the Golden West.

Where do you get your city gossip? San Francisco Grub Street and my brother, who knows everything years before it happens.

What's your go-to date place? Wise Sons on a Saturday morning.

Why do you love your neighborhood? The Civic Center Farmers Market, the $1 library stoop sale, Tom Yum on a rainy day, a special little place called Hooker's Sweet Treats and, of course, being smack-dab in the middle of everything!

What local merchant have you been meaning to check out? I would love to check out the Juhu Beach Club, a Mumbai street food pop-up tucked inside the Garage Cafe in SOMA.

What's the question you wish we asked? What is my next invention? A pipe organ that plays perfume.
