Cool new date night!!!!

Okay, so it's not super original-dinner and ice cream. BUT...the places that we have just gone to are AMAZING and you NEED to go support these local businesses!!! And, i'm all for small little non-chain restaurant places with charm.

Downtown Fullerton-last week we had a girls night out (YEAH YLFC ladies!!!) at Ziings
www.ziings.com. GO!! It's an awesome chinese restaurant sort of like PF Changs, but cooler and a bit quieter (but still great atmosphere).
Here is what to order (if you need help-but the wait staff is great!)
Lettuce Wraps
Ziings chicken and mongolian beef for a meal
Pineapple spring rolls...TOTALLY sharable and crazy amazing.

Dessert-it's a little drive from Ziings, and is actually super fun to do if you are at home all day and have dinner and want to get out with the kids. We have LOVED doing this once a week and hope to continue during the summer.
Capriccio Gelato-Fullerton (in the Target/Old Navy center) (actually directly underneath the Amerige apartments)
Pannacotta (sp?) is Ry's favorite. It's like hazelnut.
Cappuccino and cookies and cream (you can have 2 choices per bowl!!) for aly
The kids get watermelon cones. And it tastes just like a watermelon. You can sit outside, enjoy the summer evening, the kids can get all soggy with ice cream and just have a fun night.

So. GO and support these two businesses. BTW...from a previous post, Ziings is right next door to Roman Cucina, still one of my favorite, if not my favorite italian restaurant. Lemon cream shrimp. Get it. There is NOTHING like it!!

Okay...if you have any cool local restaurant suggestions, lemme know! I'm always lookin' for something fun and new.

oooh I am going to try Ziings. You should try Rosine's in Anaheim Hills. Weir Canyon Road and Serrano in the Ralphs shopping center. Order Hummus for an appetizer, and get the Rotissire Chicken Pita w/Roasted Potatoes as the side. Try the "cookies and ice cream" for desert... Hazelnut cookies, vanilla ice cream w/fresh berries all sprinkled with crushed pistachios.
