Teatro ZinZanni
Pier 27 - The Embarcadero
San Francisco, CA
(415) 438-2668
Teatro Zinzanni’s taken the dinner theater idea to
new heights. Feast on a sumptuous five-course meal while you’re
literally surrounded by a Vaudeville-esque spectacle of theatre, music,
and dance, all under a giant antique Belgian circus tent that sits right
on the San Francisco waterfront. Your hosts are a colorful crew of
clown-like characters, singers, dancers, contortionists, and
illusionists, who sing, dance, hurl, twist, spin, juggle, and play,
using the entire room and perhaps even your table as their stage. Sound
crazy? It is. But it’s something your entire family will get a kick
out of and it sure beats sitting in some stuffy old restaurant where you
have to keep your voice to a whisper. Feel free to laugh out loud,
holler, whistle, and clap. Who knows? You may even find you’re a part
of the show. Crazier things have happened at Teatro ZinZanni.

The Baltic Building’s got quite a colorful past.
Built in 1904, the historic structure’s served a variety of purposes
over the years. Originally a saloon (and later a speakeasy), it’s also
been a brothel, a private home, and even a funeral parlor. Of course, it’s
now home to one of the most popular restaurants in Point Richmond,
offering a reasonably priced menu of good old-fashioned comfort food
with a few more sophisticated dishes thrown in for those with
harder-to-please palates. Five nights a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday), locals gather at the quaint bayfront bistro to
catch live bands dishing out honest-to-goodness blues tunes. |
