About Me

I love: Ignoring impulse control. Neologies. Campari. Roach coaches. Smarts. Guilty pleasures. Goat cheese. Feminism. Figs. Farmers markets. Vice. San Francisco. Sentimentality. Bruises. Making out. Third-world travel. High heels. Stoli and tonics. Style. Perversion. Wine. Communist countries. Neurotic habits. Roller derby. Oh yeah, and writing too.

I’m not posing another argument in favor of eating meat. But I know from experience that becoming unvegetarian is just as difficult as becoming a vegetarian in the first place. After fifteen years without a hamburger, I was done with soy and barley, had given up on the numerous and inadequate alternatives for chicken and steak. I wanted real food. In a city where everyone seems to have some sort of exceptional eating habit(s)—lacto, micro, no carb, no wheat, no whey—it’s admirable to live u...

Some of the tastiest and most authentic Mexican food in the city comes from the local taco trucks. But also some of the nastiest, so use this guide and your better senses to discover what the day laborers and true chowhounds have known all along.

Got an attitude problem? Good. To be a derby girl in this town, you’d better be aggressive, tough as nails, fiercely competitive and, well, a little crazy. Playing this post-feminist all-girl sport takes far more than looking hot in fishnets: It also takes discipline, dedication and drinking. If you love bruises, want to make sixty or so feisty new friends, and can’t wait to pick out your new derby name, consider hitting the rink. (Just not too hard…)

Every September, San Francisco hosts the Folsom Street Fair: A public display that would tickle even the Marquis De Sade. It’s the only day of the year you can see cute girls in their finest fetishwear spanking in the streets. But the other 364 days a year, the pervy girls of San Francisco head to these decadent and devious locales to get their kink on.

Everyone talks about how the Mission was cooler way back when, about how it's lost its edgy edge. Thing is, this is the same song sung for the past decade and there's no doubt the neighborhood still holds some of the best dive bars in the city. Next time you're in the area, avoid the bridge-and-tunnel crowd by heading to these low-key cocktail stalwarts that always pour 'em strong and keep 'em coming.
