How to James Bond in OC

In honor of the New Year - 007 that is - we’ve put together a list of ways to experience the "Double-0" in OC.

Shaken, Not Stirred
Stroll in and order a martini at one of these dimly lit bars:
Chat Noir Bistro & Jazz Lounge
Chakra Cuisine
The Clubhouse
Ten Asian Bistro

Arrive in Style
Rent a limo or luxury car, window-shop at the Irvine Spectrum Center’s Saleen Performance Center - creating high performance vehicles for street and track, or check out these great car museums: Joe's Automotive Museum and the Marconi Automotive Museum.

Royal Flush
Test your luck out at one of these exciting nearby casinos:
Barona Valley Ranch Resort and Casino
Commerce Casino
Pala Casino Resort and Spa
Pechanga Resort & Casino
San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino

Secret Hideaways
Find a clandestine location to sneak off to when things get a little “dangerous.” You can blend into the bustling crowds in Little Saigon or the Santa Ana Artists Village, and every good agent knows about the Montage Resort & Spa, hidden in the cliffs along the famous Pacific Coast Highway.

Thrill-Seeking Excitement
Here are a few ways to get your adrenaline pumping:
Shift and accelerate around the track in a 300-horsepower dragster!
Zoom and flip aboard a high-speed roller coaster.
Learn how to dogfight like a professional pilot.
Challenge yourself on monster waves at The Wedge in Newport Beach.

Float Away
Bond attempts to leave his line of work in the new movie and sets off to sail the world. So, hop aboard a yacht and cruise the harbors, sail away into the Pacific Ocean for a day, or pull into port at Catalina Island.
