Canon's Flickr Stream has some nice shots as well.

Craft mixology seems like it should be fun.  But I don't really get it.  The cocktails here are $10, kind of small, and did not pack a punch.    The esteemed Murray is now working at Canon, so I'm sure the cocktails were exactly what they were supposed to be.  

Frank at the Mandarin Gate hasn't won any awards, but his pours are heavy and half the price.

Penn and Teller Explain Sleight of Hand

Penn also has a new podcast called "Penn Sunday" starting February 19. His last podcast tended to focus on current event, politics, pop culture, and crazy stories from the world of magic. 

From Wikipdeia:

Monkey Tuesday originated when Penn told a story of a party held at his house where he had invited Tarzan^[5], a performing chimpanzee and Arturo, a dwarf, forgetting that chimpanzees fight for dominance with people of small stature. Goudeau had expressed surprise at Penn's naivety. "I thought you were circus," he criticized, informing Penn regarding the dangers of having both a dwarf and a chimp at the same party. After phoning Arturo to uninvite him but not having the heart to follow through, Penn worked out a compromise: Tarzan and Arturo could both be at the party as long as they were in separate rooms. As an added measure of security, Penn and a posse of trusted party attendees armed themselves with knives.

However, Tarzan and Arturo met poolside and predictably, Tarzan charged Arturo. Rather than jump into the swimming pool as planned aschimps hate water (Chimps, lacking buoyant body fat, sink like rocks in water), Arturo "hauled ass" into Penn's house. Tarzan pursued Arturo but got distracted by the other guests. The guests shuttled the chimp into various rooms to allow Arturo to move around, and later found Arturo a tall bar stool to stand on. Tarzan, confused, decided not to challenge.

It's fun because Penn genuinely enjoys other opinions (he doesn't yell, and he doesn't always have to be right). Plus, he's definitely more liberal than you.
