That cozy Matier & Ross item about how Mayor Ed Lee, Chronicle columnist Willie Brown and Rose Pak are matching up Chinese investors in the deal to sprout high-rises on Treasure Island includes this oh-by-the-way note about the mayor’s upcoming travel itinerary:
The China jaunt is final leg of a tour that starts with Lee's trip to New York for a housing conference this week.
After New York, it's on to Cork, Ireland, and Paris for a pair of sister-city visits. Then back to San Francisco and on to China.
Travel footnote: Mayoral influencer Ron Conway will be with Lee in Paris.
