Our off-the-beaten-path food series concludes with dinner. We’re sharing our favorite places to sup without the touristy hype. Since Newport locals live in their flip flops and shorts, most of our winners are casual sit-down restaurants. But if you’re on vacation and looking to splurge, we threw in a few fancier options, too!    For a Delicious Helping of California Cuisine, Sol Grill is a Local Treasure! Funky & absolutely fabulous, Sol Grill is where the locals go when they want amazing, upscale food without the hefty price tag. The meatballs are their specialty, but we’re bougie and go for

Take your beach day to a whole new level with these fun and unique ideas your kids are sure to love! Swap out Your Boogie Boards for Inner Tubes Don’t get us wrong, we love an afternoon of boogie boarding.

And boy oh boy do these places deliver!   For the Local Coffee Spot, Visit Alta Coffee Warehouse Tucked away on a quiet backstreet is the locals’ favorite coffee joint. Beyond the killer coffee is a fabulous outdoor patio, a cozy interior, and really, really good food. Their bread is made in-house and their pastries must be made in heaven because they are DIVINE (we’re looking at you, cinnamon roll). Breakfast is served all day

Nobody does summer like Newport Beach. June through September is chock full of events around town that you won’t find anywhere else! So grab your flip flops and a fully charged phone, because you don’t want to miss any of these top activities!   The Orange County Fair is a Summer Must! A whirlwind of friend Oreos, hypnotists, carnival rides, concerts, petting zoos, quilting competitions, and even pig races, the Orange County Fair will entertain the entire family like nothing else can. We’re partial to the food scene (fried food fantasy of our dreams!) and the outdoor concerts at the
