You’ll Be Sold By Reason One and Keep Reading For The Other 22
Written By: Jane Adler
The paint is just barely dry at Lido Marina Village and shop goers and hungry patrons alike are already taking advantage of the marine-inspired mélange of food, fashion and fun at this local destination. We love that this Newport Beach development is accessible by sea so you can dock and dine by day and show off your nautical finesse at night—it’s just what the ‘doc’ ordered. Plus, their Secret Alley is just another one of Lido Marina Village’s awe-inspiring attributes. To celebrate our new neighbor, we’ve put together a list of the top 23 reasons we love this locale spot!
Eating Al (Fresh)co
Malibu Farm
Malibu Farm will be the newest addition to the eating scene at Lido Marina Village, and their first location in Orange County. Their organic, local farm-fresh cuisine celebrates all things land, air and sea—and their F’Rosé cocktail is a perfect blend of detox and retox.
Our Chips Don’t Lie
Circle Hook
In cod we trust! The fish and chips at Circle Hook are just the comfort food we’re waiting for! This new spot is from the same team that brought you your other favorite spot, Bear Flag! Oh, did we mention you can channel your inner drunken sailor with their one-half bottles of Rombauer chardonnay? Need we say more?
Get Foxy
Stone Cold Fox
For your newest Lido Marina Village fashion fix, Stone Cold Fox opened its pop-up doors this month to bring all things us California girls adore. Start your shopping spree by buying their whimsical, printed dresses. Don’t forget to stop and smell their fresh, in-store flowers!
In True Faherty Fashion
Faherty
Who said you can’t buy cool? After one look around Faherty’s shop in Lido Marina Village, we’d say the coolness factor was oozing off their shelves. From classic, everyday plaid shirts for him or comfortably chic dresses for her, you really can’t go wrong with this family business!
Come Sail Away!
Bailey44
At the village, there is an array of interactive activities for kids such as the pond in front of Bailey44 that boasts custom wooden boats for children to sail. Mom can shop a sale while her kids can set sail, it’s a win-win!

Now You Sashimi, Now You Don’t!
Nobu
Become the sensei of sunsets as you sit and sip on Nobu’s stateside deck. Be sure to catch their Tanoshi Hour (Japanese for happy hour) from 3:30-6:30 p.m. every Monday through Friday! Their Crispy Umami Chicken Wings are a must try (sharing optional).

The Vault in Our Stars
Elyse Walker
Be sure to check out Elyse Walker’s jewelry “vault” that pays homage to the former use of the building as a bank. This literal vault houses fine jewelry (hello, statement stone rings) and contemporary art; the 12,000-square-foot location is truly a diamond in the rough. You’ll need to take a break and sit on the plush sofa to take it all in!
