After a busy week, making plans can feel like one more item on the to-do list. Enter the Weekend Itinerary: The Standard\u2019s curated guide to the culture, arts, and food to fuel your weekend in San Francisco. Because in this vibrant city, boredom is a choice.<\/p>\n

If this itinerary makes it onto your weekend agenda, tag @sfstandard \u2014 we\u2019d love to see it in action!<\/p>\n

Friday, July 24<\/p>\n

Forecast: High of 69; mostly sunny<\/p>\n

5:30 p.m. Dinner<\/a> in the Presidio\u00a0<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t mess with the Presidio\u2019s culinary scene<\/a>, which is only getting hotter with each new restaurant addition. Before your outdoor movie night this evening, pick up a picnic-friendly pizza from Il Parco (opens in new tab)<\/a> or snag a table at Dalida<\/a> if you\u2019re in the mood for a bougier sit-down meal.<\/p>\n

7 p.m. Sundown Cinema (opens in new tab)<\/a> at Presidio Civil War Parade Ground<\/p>\n

The Standard\u2019s free outdoor movie series is back, this time screening \u201cInside Out.\u201d We\u2019ll have exclusive merch, including blankets (you know those temps will drop), tote bags, a zine, and so much more. The screening starts at 8:30, but you\u2019ll want to come early to snag a spot in the grass for prime viewing.<\/p>\n

Saturday, July 25<\/p>\n

Forecast: High of 71; sunny<\/p>\n

\"AChris Behroozian<\/p>\n

12 p.m. SF Art Book Fair (opens in new tab)<\/a> at Minnesota Street Project<\/p>\n

Book lovers and art aficionados, unite! Dozens of indie publishers are selling limited-edition art books, zines, and prints at this multiday expo. Starting at 12 p.m., authors, artists, and academics join for special talks and book signings.<\/p>\n

2:30 p.m. Sip on a banana latte<\/a> at S\u014dhn in the Dogpatch<\/p>\n

After hours perusing and reading, it\u2019s time to refuel. Stroll 0.3 miles over to the ultra trendy, Korean-inspired cafe and try its banana oat milk latte \u2014 a flavor that\u2019s been popular across Asia for decades, but is now having a moment in the Bay Area. (Find some more of our favorite banana drinks in SF here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

3 p.m. Museum of Craft and Design free admission (opens in new tab)<\/a> <\/p>\n

Get a second dose of art just steps away at the Museum of Craft and Design. For just this weekend, entry to the museum\u2019s exhibition Video Craft is free of charge. While you\u2019re inside, experience how over a dozen artists incorporate the moving image into multimedia works.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After your art-filled afternoon, hop on the 48 or 55 bus, and head west toward the Mission. <\/p>\n

5 p.m. Taco crawl in the Mission<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019re here to put the rumors that San Francisco has subpar tacos to rest. Not only are there eight spots in the city that recently gained a stamp of approval from a Mexico City-raised taco connoisseur, but most of them are clustered around Mission and 21st streets.<\/p>\n

Sunday, July 26<\/p>\n

Forecast: High of 70; sunny<\/p>\n

10 a.m. Watch marathoners (opens in new tab)<\/a> along the Marina Green\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maybe one day that will be you breezing through the 26.2 mile-course. But for now, this Sunday morning calls for coffee and donuts. Swing by Dynamo near Crissy Field and cheer runners on from the sidelines.<\/p>\n

11 a.m. Found in the Fog (opens in new tab)<\/a> at Marina Middle School\u00a0<\/p>\n

A vintage market that doesn\u2019t involve crossing the bridge to Marin or taking the ferry to Alameda? Count us in. Shop antique homewares, secondhand denim, and more at this monthly flea benefitting Marina Middle School.<\/p>\n

1:10 p.m. \u2018The Invite\u2019 and \u2018The Odyssey\u2019 double feature (opens in new tab)<\/a> at Marina Theater<\/p>\n

Close out a Sunday in the Marina at the neighborhood\u2019s charming theater with back-to-back screenings of the summer\u2019s hottest films. Start with \u201cThe Invite\u201d at 1:10, a shot-in-SF comedic drama from Olivia Wilde. Take a Souvla break or re-up on the popcorn before heading back in to catch \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d at 4:40. After the screenings, dine and debate each film over drinks at Bar Darling<\/a>. <\/p>\n
