Like many newlyweds, Jana Herzen and Charnett Moffett thought that San Francisco sounded like an ideal destination for their honeymoon.
A New York musical power couple with deep Bay Area ties, they flew out after their wedding in February 2020. Some 17 months and one global pandemic later they’re still here, and now they’re calling San Francisco home.
“I’ve always been somewhat bicoastal, bouncing back and forth between the Bay Area and New York, and we’d been thinking about moving out here anyhow,” Herzen said. “New York was such a hot spot that we decided to stay here, and Charnett and I have had this kind of extended COVID honeymoon.”
