Cafe Sketches, NYC Edition - Nice Matin, 12/2022

Inside the Lucerne Hotel on Amsterdam Avenue and 79th, there is Nice Matin, a bistro serving French comfort food for hotel guests and anyone craving a French onion soup. It's a popular spot and great when you get to the Lucerne and don't feel like trekking further for a fantastic meal.

Cafe Sketches, NYC edition - Juniors, 12/2022

Senator Chuck Schumer says he gets regular deliveries of cheesecake from Juniors Restaurant in New York City. We always make a stop at Juniors whenever we are in the City. Yeah, it's a Big Apple favorite and the interior decor can take you back to the 1950's diners.

Hammer Museum sketches, 10/2022

We visited the Hammer Museum for the first time in October of last year. Although the Hammer is a smaller museum, their collection is very good. One highlight is their courtyard with desert garden and cafe-bistro for the museum visitors.

During our visit, the Hammer was exhibiting Picasso.
