Well OC seems a bit quiet. Its been so quiet  I can't even get laid.  

But.. there is this exhibit "Bodies" near Knotts on beach that I highly recommend. about $33 per tic. but worth it!

Food is always a disappointment in OC since I went Vegan

Two new restaurants have opened in Fashion Island.
Red O is Mexican by renowned restauranteur Rick Bayliss. Try the short rib enchiladas. For those of us who are veterans they offer a military discount
Fig and Olive is right across the driveway and offers Italian food.
Both pricey but worth a visi

Some good food over at SOCO.  Lot's of new restaurants and just a great place to chill.  There is music on the weekends, groovy clothing and jewelry and interesting things to look at everywhere.  Kind of like the LAB and the CAMP but different.  If you want a really spectacular meal, go to The Winery at the District.

The food is definitely getting better in the OC. I've been wanting to try SOCO--I'll have to visit soon. Always been a fan of Gabbi's Mexican Kitchen in Orange, so I'll definitely give Red O a try. The food at Cucina Enoteca is really good, and the atmosphere is neat. Can get a little loud in the dining room, but not any more so than Javier's next door. Looking forward to seeing other suggestions--love trying new restaurants!

Seriously good (fresh) Paella and the Mojito's aren't bad either. Delicioso!
