Antonello Ristorante
Book the back room for the full effect. Italian here means pasta made right and wine poured generously. Come hungry enough to finish what they plate in front of you. Order the osso buco if it's available.
Osso buco. Handmade pasta. Ask the server what they'd order if it wasn't their job to suggest the special.

The Frida Cinema
4.8★Activity · Local favorite
Skip the mall multiplexes. The Frida shows the films that matter, restored prints and rare runs that don't make it to Orange County. Buy tickets online, arrive early, sit in the middle rows where the projection actually lands right.

Bowers Museum
4.7★Activity · Heavy hitter
Get there when it opens at 10. The pre-Columbian collection stops you cold. Skip the gift shop, spend your time on the second floor where the light is better and almost nobody is standing. Three hours minimum. Bring water.

Candeeland Santa Ana
4.7★Activity · Local favorite
Candeeland is a sprawling warehouse of vintage carnival rides, games, and memorabilia. Walk through the collection slowly. It's the kind of place that rewards you for noticing small details. Go on a weekday afternoon when the crowds thin out.
