I'll be relocating to Irvine for a job in Santa Ana. I'm from NYC and have always lived in NY state so going all the way out to California is going to be a pretty crazy move. It's a temporary move for only 9 months so I'm wondering, what's there that's really worth looking into in California? Remember I'm from NYC so I probably haven't done a lot of stuff you guys think is second nature. Thought about learning how to surf but water really isn't my thing, haha. Those nice canyon roads look pretty sweet though.
I'm also going to be driving my Z down there. Going to be road-tripping there in a span of 3-5 days while touring the country. Lots of pictures will be taken.

Go to the beaches, cause even in cold *** weather people still go to Santa Monica pier. I guess i have lived here to long myself, because I cannot think of any suggestions right now.
If you like canyons, make sure to visit Mullholland, GMR (Glendora Mountain Road), and ACH (Angeles Crest HWY).
If I think of any other places i'll post up for ya.

I second Gaslamp, I went to School at UC Irvine and there really is not much night life in Irvine after a certain time. But you are real close to Newport Bar and Downtown Santa Ana, and Downtown Fullerton. Oh and the weather...not nearly as cold as NY. Probably only a little cold from December to January, but it is easily bearable.

I live and have lived in Irvine my whole life. The city is considered one of the "safest" cities in the US. It's really nice, quiet, and clean. It's true that it's really quiet at night, but there are places (The District, Spectrum) that stay open past 10. The beaches are 10-15 minute drive, mountains (snowboarding, skiing) are about 45-60 minute drive. Hope you enjoy your time here!
