Guidebook for Lake Forest
Food Scene
Good seafood that's close to the apartment and not super pricey. I definitely recommend sitting on the bar side as it's more relaxed and fun.

A short drive down to PCH but absolutely worth it not only to experience Laguna Beach's views, culture, and good vibes but because Nick's is an unreal place to get dinner and drinks. Impeccable service every time and even better food. I recommend the artichoke appetizer and the Chilean Sea Bass!

Entertainment & Activities
This place is amazing. It's an Off Track Betting facility (meaning you legally gamble on the ponies from race tracks all around the world) set in a beautiful 10,000 square foot restaurant with a huge center bar stocked with literally any kind of liquor you desire. They have a great happy hour and live music almost every night. Definitely check it out on a Friday afternoon, it's always poppin.

Super fun arcade for adults located at the Irvine Spectrum which is only 4 miles away. Large center fully stocked bar with any arcade game you can think of. It's also a restaurant so you can grab dinner then go play!

Fashion Island is basically an upscale version of the Irvine Spectrum and a little bit further away. However it's definitely worth the extra time in the car. It's a beautiful drive if you take the coast and Fashion Island has some exceptional shopping that the Spectrum does not have like Neiman Marcus, American Rag, Bloomingdale's, and Vince Camuto to name a few.

Essentials
There's a Ralph's literally right down the street from the apartment, I've walked there on many occasions. It's also near a 7-11, a Subway and a CVS so it's all very convenient.
