Summer days are just around the corner. The days are getting longer and people are spending more time outdoors, enjoying our amazing weather. If you are looking for a nearby outdoor venue, look no further than SoMa StrEat Food Park (428 11th Street), just a short 0.6 mile walk from your front door at NEMA.
