Point Richmond Farmers Market Tonight

JUNE 29TH AT THE FARMER'S MARKET (4-8) WE WILL BE HONORING THE MEN AND WOMEN IN OUR MILITARY, VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES (ceremony between 5:30 to 6:00).

It would be wonderful if Veterans could be in uniform, but it is not necessary to be honored.

Flags for the children and some special events also on June 29th.  Entertainment provided by The Prairie Rose Band.  The Richmond History Museum, The SS Red Oak Victory Ship and all 4 Armed services will have representatives.

Soldier' Angels will be collecting items for care packages which they will send to our troops or just give a donation to help with the postage.

We're at Park Place, north of Richmond Ave. and will run from 4pm to 8pm, through October 12.

The Musical of Musicals  
(The Musical!)
What if all of your favorite musicals were rolled together into one compact über-show? This crowd pleaser is a melting pot of musical bliss that manipulates the classic "I can't pay the rent!" story in five acts. Each act references and parodies the style of Broadway's brightest: Rodgers & Hammerstein (Oklahoma!), Stephen Sondheim (Sweeney Todd), Jerry Herman (Hello, Dolly!), Andrew Lloyd Webber (Phantom of the Opera), and Kander & Ebb (Cabaret). This smash will keep you laughing from start to finish with sharp wit and puckish energy.

Hidden City Café

Point Richmond: Hidden City Cafe revisited - as American as pot roast, shortcake and salsa

After a year living in Guatemala, I’ve been craving American comfort food. There are few places that fit as well as Hidden City Cafe with omelets, hash browns, pot roast and shortcake.
Hidden City is still the top restaurant, IMO, in this part of the East Bay. There’s nothing comparable unless driving to Berkeley.
Chef and co-owner Shellie Bourgault, once worked at Chez Panisse. The food is simply prepared, often using organic ingredients. Bourgault is also a nutritional coach.

There is a small core of standard dishes, but order the specials that change weekly.
It is mainly classic coffee shop fare gone organic, but there are a few dishes with Mexican touches.
Here's what I had on two visits rated from A+ to F -
