We Wanna Be Friends With: Nina Tang of FAWN

Nina Tang has that enviable quality of being a badass entrepreneur with really, really good personal style. Her first boutique was the beloved Richmond Rox (now closed) which she opened at 26 while getting her masters from the Academy of Art College. She ran it solo - that means when exams came around she would write her schedule on a chalkboard outside letting customers know when she'd have to close up shop early.

An Exclusive Summer Brew Perfect for Post-Park Excursions

MateVeza is celebrated here in the west for its flagship IPA brewed with yerba mate. Its Cerveceria de MateVeza at the corner of 18th and Church is frequented by local beer lovers for its eclectic nanobrewery tap offerings, its well-stocked cooler of 100 types of craft beers, and its flaky Argentinean empanadas from El Porteño. But until it runs out sometime this summer, the cerveceria may best be known for its Boston Tea Party Saison, a collaboration ale created with craft beer heavyweight Boston Beer Company, brewer of the Sam Adams line of beers.
