OC Register, August 2014 | Costa Mesa launches restaurant week food deals

I like the way Costa Mesa thinks.

The city’s tourism organization has smartly selected summer as a way to show off its eclectic mix of hipster and traditional restaurants. Costa Mesa Restaurant Week kicks off Friday – cleverly avoiding competing restaurant week events held in January and February.

In its fourth year, nearly 60 restaurants are participating – from classics such as Scott’s Restaurant & Bar and La Cave to newbies like Birdie Bowl and Juicery and the Kickin’ Crab.
