Today from Mission Local

Good afternoon! Here’s the latest:

There’s a warm, friendly cafe in the Tenderloin where lattes and pastries are free—and where everyone’s welcome. Read about the City Hope Cafe, and stop by if you’re in the neighborhood.

Then there’s Murales, the wine and tapas bar in the Mission that’s making its debut tomorrow as a host of MAPP, the Mission Arts and Performance Project.

There’s so much more going on this weekend: Check out our full events listings for music, food, dancing, art, and talks. And stay dry!

More soon,

Sara
