  By Gustavo Arellano | Wed, January 11, 2012

  We'll always love the Gypsy Den because...well, it's the pinche Gypsy Den, as essential to OC Weekly identity as Bob Dornan and bashing the GOP. But let's be honest: for the past couple of years, the More >

  Milkdrive

  By BRANDON FERGUSON | Thu, July 07, 2011

  In a music world inhabited by hipsters playing everything from household objects to banjos, it's nice to watch a band that can play wonky gear competently. Milkdrive's use of mandolin, violin, cello and banjo is both nimble and soulful. ... More >

  Great for live music. My favorite hands down is the Macaroni & Cheese they have there. For Vegetarians, the Veggie BLT is great for lunch. The prices are okay, but for some items a little they can be a little bit steep. If you are hitting a wall at the end of the day and need a caffeine fix, this is definitely the place to go!

  After 20 years, 240 meetings, seven different venues, hundreds of poets and thousands of curious audience members, there's no question this monthly gathering has become something special. And the fact that it's produced by Santa Ana College professor Lee Mallory—a guy who has ridden the bus to work since 1978 and still doesn't have a cell phone or computer—is just icing on the cake. He started the readings with longtime colleague Jana McCarthy at the Chicago Pizza Factory in Santa Ana in 1988. For the past five years, Factory Readings poets have used the ultra-artsy setting of the Gypsy Den to spout verse as onlookers hoot and holler while imbibing tea and scarfing bran muffins. Stop by sometime and hear poems ranging from the solemn to the salacious, from the perverted to the just plain crazy.
