Dinner at Yuet Lee

Let's gather to share one of the quintessential New York experiences, eating in a Chinese restaurant.

Granted, little if anything in the way of Chinese food can compare favorably with what we?d find back in New York, but Yuet Lee has outstanding seafood (both Calvin Trillin and I rate its salt and pepper squid as the best we?ve ever had). Plus, it's on a street with a familiar New York name and it stays open till 3:00 a.m. (no wimpy California cuisine hours for this place). They have big round tables that are great for sharing lots of dishes. Over the food, we can talk about how much we miss the New York winters and plan for our next triumph at Trivia Night on January 22. After dinner, perhaps we'll wander through a few Chinatown alleys and see how they compare with Pell Street.

The 30 Stockton bus stops across the street, but it's only a 15 to 20 minute walk from Market Street if you take BART. If you drive and can't find street parking, there are two city-owned parking garages one block away on Vallejo St. between Stockton and Powell Streets.

If you get lost, you can call me on my cell phone: [masked].
