Bites Off Broadway Kickoff May 10: Face Painter, Movie, New Food Trucks

Bites Off Broadway will celebrate the season's first food truck event on May 10 with an appearance by face painter Alana Dill and possibly some new vendors, according to an email from event producer Karen Hester.

The weekly event will take place Fridays from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., May 10 through Oct. 11, in front of Studio One Art Center, 365 - 45th St., Oakland (at Lawton, about a block off Broadway).

A rotation of about 15 food trucks will include popular returnees from last year (Tina Tamale, Doc’s of the Bay, Fist of Flour Pizza Co. and Annakoot), plus Two Mammas' Vegan Kitchen, Go Streatery, Roderick's BBQ, Sanguchon, Sunrise Deli and some newcomers yet to be announced, Hester said.

The food vendor lineup is expected to be posted mid-week on the Bites Off Broadway Facebook page as it was last year.

Entertainment each week will include a hula hooper, ping pong and family movies outside at dusk, sponsored by Studio One. 

A pop-up Shabbat hosted by Kehilla Community Synagogue will occur on the second Friday of most months, including May 10, when there will be live klezmer music.

Bring your own blanket for lawn seating.
