It’s a daunting task, trying to choose the bests in the Newport-Mesa

community. Can you narrow down the best Mexican food or the best

park? How do you pick which spot has the best view or which surf spot

to take a beginning grommet?

One easy way is to make others do it. And that’s what we’ve done

in our first-ever look at the “best of ...” Newport-Mesa.

We went to those who’d know best where to find a piping hot coffee

or where to catch the latest Hollywood blockbuster.

Some of their answers you might have picked, too. But, we suspect

and hope, some will be spots in our community you didn’t know about

and maybe will just want to try.
