An Insider's View of Some Favorite
Places to Eat & Drink in California
Olivia (friends call her "Liv") resides
in Orange, the cute city known for its
Downtown Circle, Children's Hospital,
Chapman University and Watson's Drug &
Soda Fountain (since 1899). The RN, who
actually once played a nurse on "CSI:
Miami," now loves living in the friendly
community and munching at many of its
splendid eateries. We asked her to let
