Share

Great estates: Seaside Estate Services will host a massive warehouse sale of estate and consignment furnishings, antiques, vintage clothing, housewares, kitchen goods, books, records and more from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday at 3501 W. Moore Ave., Unit A, Santa Ana. Word to the wise: Expect to poke around and see what you can find in a packed-to-the-gills experience. It’s not ideal for those who prefer Nordstrom-style shopping.

Recipes should feature fresh, sustainable fish cooked simply with seasonal, local ingredients. To submit a recipe, visit facebook.com/slapfishsocal.

Dine haute: Put this in your regular meal rotation: Newport Beach Restaurant Week will run from Jan. 19 to Feb. 1. Enjoy prix-fixe lunch menus from $10 to $25 and dinner menus from $20 to $50 all over town. Information and list of participating restaurants: dinenb.com.
