is making the least of it

SF is... one of the great creative capitals of the world.
Where does everybody know your name? Pretty much any design event.
Where would you have your last meal on earth (and what would you eat)? (The real answer is an out-of-the way restaurant in San Sebastian, Spain for their roast chicken). But... In San Francisco? I'd probably keep it simple and get a burger at Slow Club.
Why do you love your neighborhood? I love that just about everything in Bernal Heights is independent and locally-owed.
What's your secret spot in town? Olivia's. It's a greasy spoon Mexican restaurant in the Outer Mission that will make you a great Menudo even though its not on the menu.
Where do you go to relax and get away from it all? The Paul Smith store.
If you can change one thing about San Francisco, what would it be? Same as everyone. I'd try to figure out this homeless problem.
