Downtown Fullerton
Harbor Boulevard comes alive after dark — a walkable strip of craft cocktail bars, dim-lit restaurants, and live music venues that rivals anything in LA, without the traffic or the attitude. By day, it's coffee shops and vintage stores. By night, it's the best bar crawl in Orange County.

A Food City That Punches Up
From street tacos to omakase sushi, Fullerton's food scene is absurdly deep for a city this size. The downtown corridor alone packs in James Beard-worthy Mexican, Korean-fusion, farm-to-table brunch, and the kind of dive bar burger that ruins all other burgers for you.
