Ian Ross's profile

Neighborhood: North Beach

What are you up to these days? Painting the largest work I can in new places around the world with my fiancee Daniele.

SF is... a magical place where the people and energy in the air change as often as the weather.

Where would you have your last meal on earth? Oysters at Waterbar. And everything else on the menu, haha!

Who's your favorite quintessential local character? Andy Olive, creator of lifestyle brand San Franpsycho, ambassador of good vibes and aloha.

Where's your go-to date place? Nopa. Love the atmosphere, the drinks, and the art of Brian Barneclo.

What's your favorite under-the-radar SF restaurant? Ariake on Geary and 15th Avenue in the Richmond. Fantastic.

What's your favorite SF institution? The parking lot at Kelly's Cove in the evening during a heat wave. There is nowhere like it in the world.

What would you change about SF? The price of parking meters and the rampant crackheads in the Tenderloin/Market St.
