Eat

If you get hungry during your shopping trip or tour of the local attractions, you can always pop into the fast foot joints that spring up around such places. However, if you want a real sit down dinner or a quaint meal like you would get at a Toronto B & B try the locally owned restaurants. The Citrus City Grill is a popular bar and Mexican restaurant, while the Orange Hill Restaurant is a romantic, upscale eatery with a view. PJ's Abbey is located inside and old church and the Rutabegorz is known for their homemade cookies.

Sleep

There's no shortage of hotels in which to lay your head down in Orange. There are manifestations of the popular franchises Doubletree, Hilton, Days Inn, Meridian, Howard Johnson, Best Western and more along with locally owned places like the Orange Tustin Inn with its Old West architecture. For a cozier atmosphere, try Ruta's Old Towne Inn or the French Inn. If you're looking to save money or get some use out of those baby sleeping bags, you can park your RV at Orangeland Park.

Shop

In many cases, shop and eat overlap in the form of malls. Orange, California has several. The Block at Orange is the largest, with over 100 stores and restaurants, a movie theater, and even its own hotel where you can buy all the sports gear your kids need for their hockey camps as well as things like clothes, house wares, and souvenirs. The Village at Orange is another mall with more than 100 stores, but with a focus this time on specialty shops and services.

Old Towne Orange is a more unique shopping experience, focusing on locally owned boutiques rather than major national franchises. There you'll find art galleries, coffee shops, and antique stores. It's a great place to shop for old Morilee wedding pieces and one of a kind souvenir items or to spend an afternoon away from the kitsch of the popular tourist attractions.
