On Saturday we met up with D’s cousin and his wife who were visiting from Northern California. Since they were visiting Anaheim to see the Angels play the Red Sox, we suggested meeting at the Anaheim Packing House. We went in the afternoon, after k and n’s basketball practice. The building itself was smaller than I had imagined. We were able to find street parking, but it was pretty packed. If we go again, it will definitely be in the morning. I could not believe how long the line was for Popbar…is it really worth all of the hype?
It was difficult to find seating for six people to have a conversation. The kids were tired and antsy, so that did not help.
I like this trend of food halls…there are so many options. A good meeting place is Han’s Ice Cream, since it is off to the side, and not too crowded. We tried a scoop of orange chocolate chip ice cream for $3.50. Their scoops are generous, but the orange flavor was quite subtle.
It was not really time for lunch or dinner, but we also tried the classic poutine from The Kroft ($7).
I have always been curious about poutine—french fries with gravy and cheese curds. It was good, definitely something you want to share. I read that another location is supposed to open in another food hall at the District soon. It will be interesting if these places will be a passing fad or stick around long term.
