FAQ: Going to Anaheim and Honda Center

[Paige Duck]

So I am pretty much deadlocked on flying out to the proverbial homeland in February. I am sure a lot of my favorite joints are gone since I left in 2004, so where are some good places to eat? I do wanna get food at Selanne's Steak Tavern for obvious reasons, but where are the good local spots?

Also I plan on surprising my dad at a Ducks game, so I am all sorts of excited.

When you're in Laguna, you should check out Gelato Paradiso. It's my favorite gelato joint, and it's even better because it's not extremely pricey like others tend to be. But if you're asking for local places in Anaheim, I'm not the best person to ask

Gelato sucks. Ice cream...it's the real deal.

Pretty much Orange County in general, I've got family in Anaheim, Mission Viejo, San Jan Capistrano, Lake Forest, Trabuco Canyon, ect.

I'll definitely give it a look when I am in. I hope that fish shop is still at Dana Point Harbor. Loved their fish and chips as a kid.

Cool, I either get them from my STH friends if they can't go or 714 Tix has them too but wanted to see if the date was known yet to plan.

Just got my tickets and they say date/time tbd. So it will likely be announced in the next few weeks.

Jon's Fishmarket is what it was called, according to my grandma last night.

I asked my dad about it and he said that it was still there but that the fish and chips aren't as good as they were before. He thinks that they got new owners and they changed the recipe but isn't sure

I'll be going to the pre-season game on Monday the 22nd. Just wondering what the split squad games are like? What players will most likely be there?

They usually split the squads pretty much with some rookies & some vets on each. I'm thinking the vets that don't want to travel will be here and vice versa for the Avs.

Just found out about a job opportunity in Orange County. Looking at the cost of living calculators, it appears the salary would have to be about $165K for it to be worth the move, considering cost of living and wanting some sort of a decent increase in order to switch companies. What do employers typically offer for Engineering lower level management type positions? Is $165K a reasonable figure to ask for or will they look at me like I'm nuts if I ask for that?

I would say thats about $30k too high i would say $120 - $130K would be more releastic.

Where do you guys park? They raised the prices of parking in Honda center to 16 bucks...how inconvenient and over priced, looks like I will need a new place to start parking any recommendations?

There's $5 parking right across the freeway. Not far at all and hell of a lot easier to leave too.

I second this, would love to find a cheaper form of parking for games

There is what is usually $10 parking on Katella in the office park just on the other side of the Santa Ana 'river'. It is about a five minute walk at most to the Honda Center.

Can you park near lazy dog or the theaters for free? Or is there a fee? I've never tried parking anywhere else besides JT

 

[DaDucks*]

Exit off Ball on the 57
Take a right on Phoenix
5 dollar parking by the car dealerships
5 dollar happy hour cocktails at Phoenix club pre-game

"No", and yes, I'm using the quotes on purpose.

Yeah, you're not supposed to park there, but 99% of the time you'll be fine.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Yeah but that 1% can get real expensive.

 

[Paige Duck]

Thanks for the info guys

Avoid the theater area. Not sure about now, but a few years ago they had a guard on a lifeguard tower so he could see further anybody park and run.

I would assume the unspoken rule though is if you eat at one of those restaurants beforehand you can park for the game.
