- ‘Pure chaos’ at crowded Yosemite. Senators call for return of reservation system: Yosemite saw a 45% visitor increase in March and gridlock by May after eliminating its reservation system in February. Senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff urged the Department of the Interior to reinstate the system, citing safety concerns including wildlife conflicts and a visitor death at Nevada Fall.
- A Clovis Italian restaurant has a new owner. It’s now part of the DiCicco empire: Pasquale DiCicco bought Andiamo Ristorane Italiano on Shaw Avenue in Clovis last year and has been running it since November. Former owners Jennifer and Carlo Paolilli, related to the DiCicco family by marriage, retired and moved to Italy. Andiamo will keep its name rather than convert to a DiCicco’s.
- The best french fries in Fresno are at this bar. Some people don’t know it exists: Little Leaf Bar & Restaurant serves what Fresno Bee readers voted the best french fries in Fresno, especially its kimchi fries. The business consolidated into its current space between Kuppa Joy and D Hou Chinese in 2022, leaving some customers thinking it closed. It started as a 2009 tea shop.
- 5 breakfast spots you’re missing out on in Fresno. There’s chile verde, baklava: Five lesser-known Fresno breakfast restaurants offer quality dining despite operating under the radar. The list includes Country Waffles, Early Birds Cafe, Wake Me Up Farms, Cracked Pepper Bistro and Rumi Baklava. Options span American, Mexi-Cali, Syrian and Vietnamese breakfast fare, with several recently opened or newly serving morning meals.
