So many lunch places you couldn't choose. Good ethnic food, at good prices.
Huntington/Newport Beach was a bike ride away, down the Santa Ana (ditch) River trail.
It was a great place to be young and single, and I'm glad I did it. Met my wonderful wife there. No way I'd go back there now. It's a big crap hole all the way out to Lake Elsinore.
