1 WATCH: The Avengers come full circle
The (supposed finale) for the Marvel Avengers series is at hand. To say the anticipation is high for “Endgame” is a little like saying the Warriors are a fairly decent basketball team. People. Are. Freaking. Out. Does it meet the hype? Here’s one review. (Spoiler alert: Yes!)
2 SEE & SIP: Fast bikes, cool sips
A bicycle relay race, food trucks and Napa Valley sips? It’s a CampoVelo spectacular and it unfolds this weekend in Calistoga with all sorts of road and mountain bike rides, fabulous meals and more. Only have one day free? Head for Saturday Night at the Speedway for a bicycle relay race around the half-mile track, plus food carts, vino and beer. Here’s the CampoVelo website with deets.
3 SEE: A dazzling Grand Master painter get his due
Religious fervor, check. Dreamy, porcelain skin, yup. Over-the-top emotion, oh yes. The Baroque splendors of Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens at San Francisco’s Legion of Honor will astound you. Here’s what you need to know.
4 EAT: Tapas, olé!
Craving some sangria, some jamon or paella? Here are five fab Spanish restaurants to check out in the East and South Bays, from Berkeley’s La Marcha to San Francisco’s Bellota and San Jose’s Juerga Tapas. Yum.
5 GET UP: And dance (or just watch)
The annual Bay Area Dance Week is upon us (spoiler alert, it actually lasts 10 days), with some 400 shows, demonstrations and bust-a-move extravaganzas. We have the deets and some tips here.
6 PLAY: Point Reyes frolic
Spring has arrived at last and it’s high time to get outdoors. So here you go: The perfect Point Reyes hike itinerary, complete with ocean views, wildlife sightings — hello, tule elk! — and a sunset beach picnic. (Plus tips on where to pick up those tasty picnic provisions before you go!)
7 SEE: Machines that will blow you away
Head to Half Moon Bay this weekend and you’ll find things that fly, roar, chug, and defy the imagination. It’s the annual Pacific Coast Dream Machines event at the Half Moon Bay Airport — and you won’t want to miss it.
