Happy Thanksgiving Eve! Whether you’re braving the airport crowds, road-tripping to your in-laws or staying local this Thanksgiving, we hope you find a moment of peace (and a second slice of pie) amidst the holiday hustle.
This weeks lineup:
If you love Mediterranean cuisine, you’re in luck. We’ve got the deets on a new spot opening up next spring.
A local Thanksgiving pizza special, gourmet mini donut pop-up and a sip-and shop-event are just a few of many upcoming events to kick-off the holiday season.
Home of the week: a breathtaking ocean view home in Dana Point.
LET’S EAT
Get your taste buds ready, South OC. The legendary Orange County institution, Zov's Restaurant Group, is officially making its way down the coast to set up shop in downtown San Clemente (at 155 Avenida Del Mar).
Known for their amazing California-Mediterranean cuisine (think award-winning dishes, incredible cocktails, and a bakery you'll be obsessed with), this spot is about to make your next date night plans way more sophisticated. We're talking Rack of Lamb, Mezze Platters and Pistachio Roasted Sea Bass, just to name a few of the many delicious-looking items on their menus. Chef’s kiss.
Construction is underway, with the company focused on completing the interior build-out before staff training. Zov’s currently anticipates opening in early 2026.
