For this month’s Store Trek section of the Noe Valley Voice newspaper, I wrote about Contigo, a little restaurant on Castro St. getting big hype, and Brown and Co., a real estate company on 24th St.
I was really taken with Contigo’s back patio area and the commitment Chef and Owner Brett Emerson shows toward sourcing from local farms and supporting sustainable and organic producers, but doing it with an international approach that brings food inspired by another country’s cuisine (i.e. Spain) into the conversation. Other perks? They stay open late on weeknights and offer rezzies for parties of 6 or more (important to me because I hate waiting for tables…)

I had a great time working on the story Local Artists Turn from Cancer to Canvas for the April 2009 Noe Valley Voice. Both Nanci and Greg were so open with their experiences, from their illnesses and recovery to their current lives and artwork. It’s always a treat to get to meet people who’ve lived in the city for decades and can tell you about the businesses and hangouts that were there before the ones that were there before the ones that are there now. Example: Cafe Babar, where they met and where The Liberties now stands.
One thing I wish I could have included in the story, but didn’t: Greg once counted Janice Joplin as a neighbor.
