UNSUNG BREWING COMPANY Superheroes and beer team up across from the Packing House in a former marmalade factory. Have a core brew, or experiment with R&D on tap. The best part: Outside food is allowed. Comic books and communal seating make things easygoing. 714-406-3098; unsungbrewing.com

ADYA Chef Shachi Mehra’s modern Indian cuisine is true to her culture, yet approachable to diners unfamiliar with kaathis and chaats. Take a seat at the counter and watch them at work, or head toward their outdoor patio for some fresh air. 714-533-2392; adyaoc.com

MINI MONSTER A younger sibling of the Instagrammable Snow Monster brand, expect picture perfect drinks and desserts for the young at heart. “Monster clouds” of cotton candy are the sweetest way to top off your beverage choice. Otherwise, request a reusable Mason jar memento. 714-582-6023; snowmonsteroc.com

BLACK SHEEP GCB A bar stool-only grilled cheese bar ﬁlled with high-quality ingredients is how Black Sheep does comfort. Include some tomato soup for a perfect pairing. The #2 of manchego, Spanish ham and quince is a balance of sweet and savory ﬂavors. 714-533-3850; blacksheepgcb.com

ORIGINAL PANCAKE HOUSE This reliable breakfast chain knows its pancakes, but be sure to study the comprehensive morning menu for a variety of other options. An oven-baked, puffy Dutch Baby dish with a side of thick cut bacon qualiﬁes as foodie heaven. Deﬁnitely worth the possible wait for a table when the restaurant is busy. 1418 E. Lincoln Ave., 714-535-9815; originalpancakehouse.com

THE PIZZA PRESS Offering pies “published” quickly and to-order, go with the house recommendations or have a “newsboy” assist in creating your own “edition.” From assembly to ﬁnish, you’ll have a piping-hot pizza in less than four minutes. Walk from the theme parks or order to-go; this pizza factory gets crowded. 1534 S. Harbor Blvd., 714-323-7134; thepizzapress.com

RUBY’S DINER Step back in time to the 1940s and experience nostalgia. Have a seat at the soda fountain, or slide into a red-vinyl booth with Formica tabletop for access to delicious diner classics. Filling breakfasts, juicy burgers and veggie options at reasonable prices mean there’s something for everyone. 1128 W. Lincoln Ave., 714-635-7829; rubys.com

Whether touching down at a nearby airport or catching a cross-town bus, Anaheim is clearly an accessible city.

Riders can purchase single- and multiday passes from ART. Though the 15 routes cover Anaheim’s local hot spots, they also reach destinations in Orange County like South Coast Plaza and Knott’s Berry Farm.

Ride the Rails Two passenger railroads make it easy to explore Anaheim and beyond. Buy a ticket and step aboard at Anaheim’s ARTIC station, then take in the passing scenery from a train car as you ride in style. AMTRAK AMTRAK.COM

The Paciﬁc Surﬂiner line runs from San Luis Obispo to San Diego with oceanfront views along the way. METROLINK METROLINK TRAINS.COM

Useful routes transport riders in nearly every direction: north to L.A., southwest to the beaches and east to the metropolitan areas near the San Bernardino Mountains.

Catch a Shuttle All around Anaheim, shuttles create a convenient and cost-effective network of transportation. AIRPORT SHUTTLES Circulating between hotels and airports, these are a smart option for travelers. Many hotels offer their own complimentary shuttles, but a few local names to know are The Disneyland® Resort Express, graylineanaheimcom; Mickey’s Space Ship Shuttle, mickeysairportbus.com; Super Shuttle, super-shuttle.com; Prime Time Shuttle, primetimeshuttle.com; and Karmel Shuttle, karmel.com

Though you can ﬁnd car rental businesses at airports, there are many within the Anaheim Resort district catering to all budgets, such as Alamo Rent A Car and Avis Car Rental. Interstate 5, which runs directly through Anaheim, takes drivers north to Los Angeles and south to San Diego. The same interstate also connects to State Route 22 to Huntington Beach and State Route 55 to Newport Beach. alamo.com; avis.com

Call a Car If you aren’t renting a car, hiring a taxi or driver is a great option for seeing more of the city. California Yellow Cab and VIP Limousines & Coaches are two reputable organizations, or you can connect with Anaheim’s network of rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft. Riders can purchase single- and multiday passes from ART. californiayellowcab.com; viplimos.us; uber.com; lyft.com

THOUGHT

A GOLDEN CELEBRATION The Anaheim Convention Center marks its 50th year, boasting a rich history of hosting presidents, rock stars, comic book characters and the nation’s leading companies.

I T R E M A I N S A J EW E L O F the county, a striking, sweeping and inspiring structure that still looks as though it’s waiting for history to catch up with it. The Anaheim Convention Center opened its doors on July 12, 1967. Over the next several years, Elvis, The Who, The Bee Gees, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, Elton John and David Bowie all played the world-class venue. The Center has hosted presidents and sports fans. In 1970, President Richard Nixon held an event in support of Ronald Reagan’s gubernatorial reelection campaign here. Several sports teams—including the American Basketball Association’s Anaheim Amigos—have called the Center home over the past five decades. The Anaheim Convention Center has expanded numerous times to accommodate more guests, including major additions in 1974, 1982, 1990, 1993, 1998 and 2000. Today, events such as the NAMM Show, Disney’s D23 Expo and BlizzCon are held here, making it one of Southern California’s premier venues.
