Renee Meiffren Bookstore Manager, Dancer

Where does everybody know your name? San Francisco Zen Center.

Where would you have your last meal on earth (and what would you eat)? My last meal on earth would be on a Koshland Park bench and I would be eating three scoops of Three Twins Ice Cream's Milk and Cookies covered with burnt caramel topping, a dash of olive oil, and sea salt.

What event will we find you at this week? Elbo Room's Saturday Night Soul Party.

Why do you love your neighborhood? In a 20 minute walk, you might see Zen monks walking around, a man on a unicycle, amazing hip-hop dancers dancing on the street, and a man who yells at you (in your flip flops), "Hey, you've got beautiful feet!"

What's your secret spot in town? An exquisite corset shop in Hayes Valley called Dark Garden.

If you could change one thing about San Francisco, what would it be? I would appreciate more parades.
