Your Perfect California Holiday Offers a New Side of L.A. and Orange County
Arriving at LAX airport, you’ll start things unconventionally with a visit to the mysterious Museum of Jurassic Technology, plus burgers at In-N-Out, tacos at Cerveteca, and drinks at the many bars and clubs in the area, including the lively neo-dive, Bigfoot West. Staying at The Hoxton, you’ll experience the city’s signature balance between casual and cool, dining at trendsetting spots like Grandmaster Recorders, Son of a Gun, and Rèpublique. You’ll also embrace the city’s eclectic artistic past and present with visits to Marciano Art Foundation, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Barnsdall Art Park, and the Watts Towers Arts Center, one of the most striking examples of outsider art in existence.There’s plenty of offbeat and international attractions to explore in Orange County as well, from the food court speakeasy, Blind Rabbit, to Garden Grove’s transcendent megachurch, known as Christ Cathedral. Staying at Montage, Laguna Beach’s sprawling beach resort, you might feel you’ve drifted away to some riviera; dining at A Restaurant on nearby Balboa Island, you might seem as if you’ve stumbled onto a classic steakhouse.From Long Beach to Anaheim, Orange County is a multicultural playground on par with its angelic neighbor, and together, this weeklong itinerary will have you feeling like you’re jumping across multiverses.
