Alison Bing

Over 15 years in San Francisco, Alison has done everything you're supposed to do in the city, and many things you're not, including falling in love on the 7 Haight bus and gorging on Mission burritos before Berlioz symphonies. Alison holds degrees in art history and international diplomacy - respectable diplomatic credentials she regularly undermines with opinionated culture commentary for radio, newspapers, foodie magazines, and books, including Lonely Planet's California, USA, Coastal California, California Trips, San Francisco and San Francisco Encounter.
