Gig: Owner of Acrimony and coming soon, ACRE/SF

What are you up to these days? I've been super busy with the opening of my second store. Fashion, housewares, accessories, coffee, food, and a new neighborhood! 

What event will we find you at this week? I'm looking forward to Outside Lands. I've been wanting to see Sia since 2001 – she never tours.

Where would you have your last meal on earth? That would have to be at my mom's restaurant in Chinatown. They have the best dumplings and a specialty called Meat Pie. Anything with the name MEAT PIE is worthy of my last meal. 

Who's your favorite quintessential local character? Tim Lincecum. He's not shy to wear a bow tie.

Where's your go-to date place? Zazie. Outdoor seating plus good French food equals romantic. The more romantic I feel, the better your chances of getting lucky.

Where's your own secret spot? Pizzetta 211. It's a small pizza joint that holds about 15 people at a time. They close when they run out of dough, which is every night around 9 (sometimes 8!). They always have a specialty pizza with an egg on it; it's so delish.

What's a SF restaurant you like that other people might not know about? Pomelo. Good noodle joint.

Where do you go to relax and get away from it all? There's a foot massage place called Wonderfoot. It's $30 for an hour long massage. It's not like going to the spa, but it's pretty relaxing if you like getting your feet rubbed for cheap.
