Amelia has traveled around the world backpacking, photographing, drawing, and attempting to learn various languages. After a long hiatus in Portland, Oregon, New Zealand, Spain, and Africa, she recently returned to her roots in San Francisco. She couldn’t find a city she liked more. Barcelona came close, Berlin and Tokyo were up there too, but as corny as it may sound, she left her heart in San Francisco. Amelia balances her love for both the rural coastline just north of the Golden Gate Bridge and the stimulation of city life. She graduated from University where she studied history and fine art. She comes from a family of artists and can’t help but indulge her own creative impulses. She looks forward to graduate school in design and art history, hopefully somewhere abroad. Although she knows she will always succumb to her gypsy spirit, for now she is happy nesting in San Francisco.

Tax Month Martini
Here in San Francisco, April is known for many things. April showers, spring break and the most daunting of all...tax day, right smack in middle of the month. The 15th of April looms over our heads and for the procrastinators, inevitably causes a mid-month frenzy. In honor of this stressful deadline, Palio D'Asti offers a generous deal to ease your mind and body. It is almost hard to believe, but for the entire month of April, the Italian restaurant offers $1 dollar martinis to accompany any lunch order. The most surprising thing about this deal is that they do not just use any old vodka but Stolli or Beefeater. Palio D'Asti's martinis sound like a great idea for a visitor to the city who could quite feasibly spend the rest of their day wandering the streets of San Francisco. But for locals, this deal may be a more destructive teaser. Hard working businessmen and women working in the Financial District frequent the restaurant, quickly dinning during their lunch break. As a lunch only special, don't get carried away with the cheapness of this bargain. Or if you are on vacation, get carried away and be thankful you do not have to go back to work.
