Never in his office. Supposedly he's on the balcony, but we can't find him. He's supposed to be looking for Eva Lucien. If you've seen him, let me know.
I used to really like Folli Follie jewelry. I got some amazing pieces at the Folli Follie store in Hong Kong a few years ago. Beautiful quality and gorgeous. I finally went to the NYC store and was a bit disappointed. Perhaps the store in HK is different and/or perhaps the jewelry is seasonal, but the stuff at the NYC store wasn't as impressive or unique. That being said, they do have unique designs and if you're looking for a nice gift for someone under $200, this is the place to go.

Tons and tons of random stuff. A panoply of someone else's leftovers... A lot of fun to poke around in - furniture, dishes, books, clothes, you name it, you can find it. Old fur coats, shoes, hats, gloves, scarves. Random books/collections of books, dishes, Christmas decorations, etc. Last time I was there, I almost bought a set of Fu Manchu Books and a wooden jewelry box with a dog on it. But, I resisted. The amount of stuff they have to offer just goes on and on; if you're looking for a random and eclectic gift for someone, def go here! Prices are pretty good, too, ranging from very cheap to very expensive (and awesome) Henry Miller chairs.

We go here all the time for breakfast. Lots of seating area, very casual and really nice people working there. They also have a set of computers (I've never used them) as well as WiFi. I'm honestly not sure if the WiFi is free or not, but I suspect it is for anyone who is eating/drinking there. You definitely have to pay (by the minute) for the computer usage.
Their menu has lots of omelettes, frittatas, oatmeal, yogurt, bagels and other bakery items for breakfast as well as salads and sandwiches galore for lunch and beyond; great coffee and also some unique and delicious smoothies. Try the "Quetzal Frittata" or the "Turkish Breakfast" - yummy!

This is a tiny spot with only a few seats, but they have delicious chicken schwarma wraps. The service is quick and they are super nice. Late at night, a great place to grab a cheap and delicious bite to eat; the one time I went, i was the only female there, but it wasn't a big deal. I'd highly recommend getting takeout.

Pizza Pino

Neighborhood: Nob Hill
If it's late at night and you are jonesing for a slice, Pizza Pino is the place to go. It's pretty tasty pizza and their turnaround is fast. The crust isn't super thin, but it is on the thinner side. The tomato sauce and cheese are evenly distributed and are both on the slightly plain side.
There are a few seats to sit down if you want to eat-in, and they even have a bathroom that is tolerable. I always have just a slice of plain and haven't tried any toppings or even a whole pie. On a few occasions, I've ended up here late at night for a slice and a soda; it's one of the few places that's open late and serves slices. You'll get your usual crowd of semi-drunk people hanging in the door way and it can get crowded. But, it's well worth the wait.

Dianne's Old & New Estates

Neighborhood: Marina/Cow Hollow
Fantastic store. Lots of unique and interesting items and very helpful and friendly staff. Found the perfect engagement ring there, and they resized it perfectly. Their prices are very good/competitive and they are honest as well. They always have different items since it's from estate sales, so you never know what you're going to find. You might want to go a couple times if you're looking for something specific as the inventory can change quickly. A great place if you're looking for a unique (and non-blood diamond) engagement or wedding ring. Highly recommend!
Everyone loves this place. Or so it seems. I want to love it, but I just don't. I just like it. It's "A-OK". The food is pretty good, they have brown rice, a plus and the service is good. The restaurant itself isn't super great ambiance-wise. It's big, but it doesn't feel modern or fresh or super clean. The food is often not hot enough - we had to send our chicken dish back 3 times to get the temperature to a point where we could see steam and/or not have the insides feel cold. Bok choy with mushrooms is good and so are the "atkins-friendly" items.

This place is huge! I had no idea it was so massive. The acoustics are a bit challenging given the size and layout. But, there's a huge bar area and a reasonably sized dining area as well as an upstairs that supposedly can be used for private parties. This is mostly a place for beer-drinkers; however, they did have an assortment of decent cocktails as well as one type of bottled cider. Not sure about their wine selections. Food is pretty much tapas style and the service was quick and efficient. The food was decent; however, it seemed a bit over seasoned. A good place if you're meeting a group for drinks/snacks. Not a great place if you want to have meaningful conversation.

Whitney was my stylist at Grasshopper in San Francisco until she moved out of town. I was so sad because she's the best stylist I've ever been to - amazing with cut and color. Especially, color. She worked with my constant changes from brunette to blonde to red and back to brunette again. And each time I was beyond thrilled with the results.
Whitney is now at Neihule Salon in LA - I saw her a few weeks ago while on a weekend trip to LA. She "fixed" the damage done by another stylist and turned my hair into exactly what I had wanted. She's awesome.
Definitely, highly recommend Whitney!
