In the City of Monterey Park, we frequent a southern Cantonese-style dim sum restaurant NBC Seafood Restaurant, or we like to call it NBC dim sum. The variety and creativity of the dim sum dishes are fantastic. The interior design reminds diners of the fanciful Hong Kong dim sum houses.

One of our favorite pizza joints in the East Bay is North Beach Pizza in Berkeley. Converted from an old IHOP restaurant, we have been dining here for many years since our kids were little. When we get our North Beach Special now, the waitress often asks us how our kids are doing in college.

The DeYoung Museum in San Francisco is a great location for sketching and hanging out on a beautiful spring day.

Also, DeYoung is exhibiting Kehinde Wiley's "Archeology of Silence" show. It's a fantastic show with large portrait paintings and bronze sculptures. Kehinde Wiley's sculptural skills surprised me.
John at Fog City Java, Pacifica California, was very kind to invite me for another exhibit at this charming cafe in Pacifica. This is my 10th year exhibiting here and I love it. Fog City Java is my go-to-spot for sipping a mocha after a surf session at Linda Mar, and my first stop on my regular moto runs through the San Mateo mountains.
For this show, I am exhibiting recent lion dance paintings and construction watercolors.
