Occupation: Owner of KIN Boutique, women’s contemporary clothing store at 1014 Pine Street.
Born and raised or imported to Philly? Imported! Born and raised in Arizona but was a nomad and lived in 6 other states until I found my home in Philly.
Favorite restaurant in Philly? Res Ipsa. I’d follow the chef, Michael Ferreri, anywhere.
Best place to shop in Philly (food, clothes, gifts, jewelry, etc)? Ritual Shoppe. The space is beautiful and the jewelry by owner Angela Monaco is even better to boot.
What is your one favorite “best kept secret” about Philly? Something that you and only a few others know about but everyone should… My boyfriend Sam Gellerstein and Jen Zavala started an event called “Snack Time” at Underground Arts that showcases local chefs and musicians. What’s better than delicious food and live music?
What makes Philly your Philly? What do you absolutely love about the city? Having lived in other big cities, I’ve never felt the kind of community like I have in Philadelphia. It’s everything you want in a city without the pretentiousness, people here truly have your back plus we have Pizza Gut.
