Spend a night with "the art detective" at

Pagent of the Masters

pon arriving at the Pageant of the Masters, I didn’t know what to expect. I knew I would be surrounded by a night of art and culture but seeing famous pieces of artwork come alive before my eyes, blew me away. The Pageant of the Masters reenacts real people posing as portrait subjects. In each painted master you will find people that are painted to look like the original painting. When people within the art are ready and posed, the special effects lighting is turned on. In a matter of seconds, you have a piece of artwork that looks like the original, only with motionless humans within the “painting”. A live narrator and orchestra set the scene and helps create the magic. As we walked into the open-air theater and took our seats, the lights dimmed. “The Art Detective” was about to begin. The curtain started to rise and in front of us sat, Rembrandt Van Rijn’s The Night Watch. The picture looks so real, so flawless. I had to squint my eyes because I was trying to identify the people from the painting but it is impossible. As the night went on, I watched in astonishment as real people transformed into re-creations of paintings, sculptures

The pictures looked so real, so flawless.

PLACES

and other works of art. A bronze statue called Sherlock Holmes by Gerald O. Laing, stood completely undisturbed while everyone gazed, and the narrator told the story behind the statue. Masterpieces such as Emanuel Leutze’s Washington Crossing the Delaware and Edouard Manet’s Street Singer, graced the stage as we all sat in awe. The last masterpiece presented was the most magnificent though. Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, made its appearance as the final masterpiece. I was taken back forgetting, there sat real people transformed into the The Last Supper. This creation was an amazing piece and a wonderful way to end the show. The Pageant of the Masters is something everyone should experience to appreciate. The art pieces presented and the stories behind the art make for a perfect evening in Laguna Beach. This year’s theme “The Art Detective” shows the dramatic takes of art lost and found, and the phenomenal ways people have protected our artistic heritage. //by Maegan Castro-Flores

Watch real people be magically transformed into life-sized re-creations of famous works of timeless art.

Dozens and dozens of amazing malls surround the freeways as you pass through Southern California, but don’t forget to pull off one of those exits to explore an unknown’s city’s hidden foodie restaurants and fun boutiques. One of our favorite cities in central Southern California is Anaheim.

ANAHEIM WHITE HOUSE RESTAURANT

Gourmet Italian/Seafood Bistro | $$$ 887 S. Anaheim Blvd., Anaheim 714-772-138 anaheimwhitehouse.com Before even walking through the doors, arriving at the Anaheim White House Restaurant is already a special experience. The National Historical Landmark building is unlike any other in the area, with its welcoming patio and regal façade outlined with hundreds of twinkle lights shining in the evening sky. It’s the kind of place where everyone is treated like a special VIP guest, from the gracious host who greets you to the incredibly professional wait staff who cater to your every need, no matter how big or small. Upon being seated we had the honor of being visited by the owner Bruno Serato, who educated us on the history of the restaurant, its authentic Italian influences, such as the one-of-a-kind wall murals, and all of the important people who have graced its tables. Even more impressive is the charity work that Bruno does with the underprivileged children in the Anaheim area. Each night he delivers fresh pasta to over 500 children who wouldn’t otherwise have food on their table, so every purchase made at this establishment helps keep this amazing program going. CNN, People Magazine, and the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric have all reported on this ongoing outreach of community support that continues to do such good for the children of Orange County. After this intellectual and spiritual education, we moved on to the culinary

schooling. We were treated to special appetizers ranging from a delicious and tender Carpaccio, to individualized sampler platters of their rich and flavorful pasta items. The wine selection is diverse and extensive, with enough selections to please even the pickiest of wine connoisseurs! The main course made for some tough choices, but everyone at our table was beyond pleased with their selections, which made for a lot of sharing and passing around of plates. The waiters are all well-informed, and were able to explain in detail how each dish is prepared and offered good suggestions to the indecisive ones in our group. The fresh local vegetable sides were a perfect companion to the meat and fresh seafood.

Thanks to over 30,000 voters, Anaheim White House Restaurant was named in the 2013 OC Hot List as the Best Fine Dining in Orange County! We didn’t think we’d have room for dessert, until we saw the menu and (of course) had to order one of everything. Everyone left satisfied, and already planning our next excursion at the White House Restaurant. placesmagazine.net

E SELANNE STEAK TAVERN

American Steakhouse | $$$ 1464 S. Coast Hwy., Laguna Beach, CA 949-715-9881 selannesteaktavern.com As I drove down Pacific Coast Highway the smell of the ocean air instantly hit me. With the ocean to the right of me, I remembered why I love California so much. I got caught up in all the art shops, people and activity that surrounded me but I finally found my destination to Selanne Steak Tavern in Laguna Beach, California. Owned by hockey legend and 2007 Stanley Cup winner and star player for the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Teemu Selanne converted long time Laguna Beach eatery French 75 into Selanne Steak Tavern. When I valet parked my car, I wasn’t sure how formal Selanne Steak Tavern was going to be; as I walked in I instantly adored the look of the place. The inside of the restaurant looked like a house you would see in the Hamptons. When I say house, I really mean house. This newly transformed restaurant was also a historic 1934 home. The inside features upstairs and downstairs dining, a warm tavern-style bar and beautiful outdoor dining. We checked in and immediately got seated upstairs. Selanne’s is upscale, but had a comfortable and inviting feeling. I didn’t feel like it was over the top formal and maybe that had to do with the beachcomber vibe that was felt throughout the restaurant. If you are looking for hockey and Ducks memorabilia to grace the walls

of Selanne, think WEs isinctur again. The walls aut ut abo. Enare washed in gray, duciu ntioreperor are adorned with art rescipi disquis and black and white doluptium esphotographs. trum, cusdaecae We sat in front of sitionecatin res the upstairs wine cellar that holds 500 bottles. As our waiter noticed us admiring the “wall of wines” we got a lesson about Selanne’s extensive wine collection. Selanne’s has two other wine storage rooms and focus their wine list primarily on Napa cult wines and wines from vineyards throughout California. There approximately 25 reasonable wines and “The BlackList," which offers eight high-end, hardto-find wines from around the world. As we got settled and chatted over our drinks, our waiter came back to explain the menu to us. Our waiter, Jesse, knew everything there was to know about the menu. Everything on the menu appeared grain-feed, freerange, organic, or freshly caught that very day. Jesse made everything seem too appealing but didn’t rush us, and his timing was impeccable.

Everything on the menu appeared grain-feed, freerange, organic, or freshly caught that very day.

PLACES

We ordered our first course, Cream of Cauliflower and the Chef “Signature” Pacific Diver Scallops. We both immediately took a bite and melted every time we ate some more. We switched plates, only to experience new flavors and tastes that popped in our mouths. We finished the first course, only to be introduced next to palate cleanser held in a clear glass bowl with passion fruit sorbet immersed in champagne. The entrees came and we were blown away. The beef was so tender while the seafood was the freshest seafood I had ever tried. Yet again, we had to try each other’s meals and were taken back by the presentation and portion size. The vegetables’ were Al La Carte and there was enough for four people. The entrees did not disappoint. After dinner we had a cup of coffee and shared a dessert called “Chocolate Decadence” which was the conclusion of a fine meal. After all was said and done, we walked out of the restaurant into the warm balmy summer night. We found our way back to the valet and as I got into the car, I noticed something on my dashboard, a quick Thank-you note from Selanne Steak Tavern with two-chocolate mints. A final touch of class that Selanne Steak Tavern provided for a perfect ending to our night. July 2014 |

SEASIDE EXCURSIONS

YES, THIS IS Paradise

From Los Angeles to San Diego, Southern California contains some of the most famous beaches with year round warm weather. If you want to do more than just soak up the sun, look through this section for exciting and unique things to do around the beaches. One of our favorite beach cities is Newport Beach, where you can rent bikes to ride on the board walk, visit Balboa Island for fun and games, rent kayaks to explore through the bay, or for more adventure on the water take a whale watching cruise to spot one of the hundreds of whales and dolphins right off the coast! Every beach city has it’s own culture; so don’t be shy to check them all out. If you’re looking for more recommendations, take a look at page 28 for some our favorite beaches. Now that we’ve taken care of where to go and what to do, all there is that is left to do is close your eyes, feel the sand beneath your feet, and don’t feel bad about ordering that extra drink!

Hop On, Hop Off Make a Beeline for Starline Tours Whether you’re a visitor looking to see the sights of Hollywood, or like me, a seasoned SoCal mom who’s always a bit too busy to find time to see the sights, Starline Tours is the way to go. Starline Tours offers many tours to choose from. I’ve got three daughters, and for my family’s adventure, we opted for the Hop-On, Hop-Off Double Decker Fun Tour of Hollywood on an open-air bus. This particular tour stops at 17 different locations where you can hop off at any time and see the sights, then catch the next bus 40 minutes later. We checked in at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, and our day was already starting off with delight. The girls were mesmerized by all of the stars’ hand and footprints left in the cement. There seemed to be hundreds of them. We boarded our big red bus and headed to the top level. My kiddos were so excited to see Hollywood. Here’s just a taste of some of the awesome sights we experienced: - House of Blues Sunset Strip - Nickelodeon Studios - Millions of Milkshakes - LACMA - The Original Farmers Market - Pink’s - Paramount Studios - Pantages Theatre, Hollywood - Hollywood Walk of Fame - Madame Tussauds Hollywood - And so much more… The main Starline Tours terminal is located at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre at 6925 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood.
