I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
Who doesn’t love a trip to the fair? From the animals and shows to the rides and games, its a fun-filled day for the entire family. And let’s not forget the food! Adults and children alike love the fun and delightful (and deep-fried!) foods that are generally only available at fairs, festivals, and carnivals. If you agree, we have good news. Jane’s Corndogs serves up traditional fair foods in Newport Beach, with all of the classic fair favorites in one place year-round.
Jane’s Hotdogs is located on Newport Beach’s Balboa Peninsula right at the base of the Newport pier. Whether you are a local or a tourist, Jane’s will make you feel like you are a kid again.
Order and pick up at the old-timey counter with its cartoon-picture menus and bright colors reminiscent of every fair or amusement park you ever visited.
This is a nostalgic spot for adults and year-round food fun for kids. You don’t have to wait for a yearly fair or a traveling carnival to enjoy all the classic foods, from pretzels to hot dogs to churros.
Hand-dipped corndogs deep-fried to perfection… go ahead and indulge just this once. Go crazy and add an order of French fries. The menu also has chili-cheese dogs and fries if you are feeling extra hungry!
Where else, aside from the fair, can you get chocolate-covered frozen bananas? Remember how exciting these were when you were a kid? Jane’s also makes chocolate-covered ice cream bars topped off with rainbow sprinkles or chopped nuts.
This is a great place to grab lunch or snacks on a day at the beach. After hours in the sun, come by for a delicious fresh-made lemonade (or cherry lemonade if you’re feeling fancy) or an old-fashioned milkshake.
Jane’s has great hours for tourists and beach-goers. Open til midnight on weekdays and 2:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, you can take your time enjoying the area and stop in for a midnight snack, dessert, or coffee. The restaurant only accepts cash, so come prepared. Planning to spend the day in Newport Beach? Check out this one-of-a-kind gondola cruise in Newport Harbor.
