Try the crispy chicken thigh karaage, fried in a feather-light batter and doused with a tangy chile-honey sauce. The sweet-and-spicy interplay feels like some of the fried chicken glazes you might find in Koreatown. At brunch, try the tamagoyaki-style omelet, an oval spiral of luminous golden eggs sliced and crowned with shaved Comté, chives, and cracked black pepper.
For those who have long romanticized the floating city of Venice, the Brooklyn Museum's new exhibit will only stoke those desires. Featuring a rare reunion of Claude Monet's iconic Venetian paintings, visitors are encouraged to "travel" to this dreamy destination and immerse themselves in art inspired by the city's timeless beauty. "Monet and Venice" engages audiences through multi-sensory elements, including an original symphonic score inspired by Monet's Venice paintings by the Brooklyn Museum's composer in residence, Niles Luther.

If my minibreak had belonged to a literary genre, it wouldn't have been romance so much as cosmic horror.
You can't say Redondo Union girls' volleyball coach Tommy Chaffins is playing a cupcake schedule. On the contrary, he's having his team face one top opponent after another in nonleague matches. Last week, the Sea Hawks (12-1) handed Marymount its first defeat, then beat defending Southern Section champion Mater Dei. Next up is a Tuesday showdown at home against Sierra Canyon, considered this year's Division 1 favorite once the Trailblazers get their sit-out period transfer players eligible on Saturday.
