On a recent sunny and windy Wednesday, I had a lunch date with retired Chronicle columnist Leah Garchik at the Boulangerie. I write this not only because it gives me the chance to name-drop, but because she told me to meet her at the “Octavia Green.”
The part of me that is male refused to ask for directions. But other than a guess that it was near Octavia Street, I had no clue where to go.
