Help! Out-of-Towner Seeks Fun Birthday Recs for Mom
My mother's birthday is this Friday, and I was just informed that she wanted to go to Teatro Zinzanni to celebrate. Typically, whatever mom wants, she'd get, except that there are no tickets left at this late date. Can anyone suggest any other fun, lively restaurants/outings that might be appropriate for a birthday dnner? (Kitschy is okay as long as it's genuinely enjoyable!) Mom is in her 50s, vegetarian, lives in the East Bay but would prefer to celebrate in San Francisco.
Any suggestions are appreciated. I haven't lived in the Bay Area for a long time, so I'm clueless. Oh, and Saturday daytime suggestions are fine as well. Thanks!

Well, if she would enjoy something like Teatro Zinzanni, she might like Pena Pachamama.
http://www.chowhound.com/topics/330450It is really festive and looks like a party with pretty paper flags and streamers. There is a live show. The food is more Cal than Bolivian and there are vegetarian options.
It is in North Beach which is nice to stroll around before or after.
Might be too late for this, but you might see the Beach Blanket show and have dinner in North Beach.
