More Than Just Movies - A Taste of What’s Cooking in SF

While you’re planning your movie night, let’s dish on some hot foodie news straight outta the Bay. The Rich Table team - known for slinging some of the most drool-worthy plates in town - is gearing up to open RT Bistro, their second expansion and fourth restaurant overall. Set to debut this fall, this spot promises to bring the same innovative flavors and Cali-cool vibes that made Rich Table a staple on the SF dining scene.

Details are still trickling in, but word on the street is RT Bistro will be a game-changer, blending that signature Rich Table creativity with a fresh twist. It’s the kind of news that has foodies from the Mission to Marin buzzing - will it have the same intimate, date-night energy, or go full-on trendy gastropub? We’re keeping our eyes peeled for more deets, so stay tuned while you munch on popcorn at Bernal Heights this weekend.

"There’s nothing like watching a great film with the Bay Area breeze - Bernal Heights Outdoor Cinema is where memories are made," said a local film enthusiast gearing up for tonight’s kickoff.
