Star Wars, Marvel, & DC Art Expo

The Amazing Art Expo!!!

First time ever hosted in Oxnard, CA, this event was a 3 day free event that landed on Friday, March 27 – Sunday, March 29 was such an amazing and fun event to go to. The venue was at the Staybridge Suites (River Ridge) in Oxnard, California. The featuring art they had displayed were Anime, Video Games, Star Wars, Horror & Monster Art, Disney Princesses/Characters, Marvel, DC Comics, Lord of The Rings, DND/Fantasy & Dragons and more!. “A representative and collective of 12 different artists such as: Christopher Clark, Nastiya Grushovenko, Dominic Glover, Adam Michaels, Ashley Raine , and many more! Everything around the room was hand drawn created by an artist, nothing was made by AI in this room.” said by Rachi Felici, one of the events organizers. As you can see this is extremely amazing pieces of work drawn and presented here. All of the art really brought out my nerdy side because I knew every genre of art that were there. From the Harry Potter art to the One Piece art. My favorite, of course, was the Star Wars art.

Cosplay Costumes

This 3 day event wasn’t only just art for 3 days, it was also a Cosplay Event. On Saturday and Sunday of that event, there were many people in there costumes ready to enjoy all of the art, artists, voice actors and be apart of their favorite niche. I saw many costumes such as Clone Troopers from Star Wars, Monkey D. Luffy costumes from One Piece, Disney Princesses along with people dressed up as their favorite anime and horror film characters. Saturday and Sunday reminded me of a smaller version of Comic Con, but with a lot art and cool looking cosplay costumes. You can check out Amazing Art Expo Instagram below —-

Top 3 Best Breakfast Spots in The 805

Ever looking for a nice breakfast spot to eat at? Check out my favorite 3 spots to go have a nice brunch out here locally in Ventura County!

title — Breakfast Burrito w/ Country Potato’s

3. Mrs. Olson’s Coffee Hut
(Oxnard, CA)

One of my top 3 breakfast spots to go to is Mrs. Olson’s Coffee Hut. Located at 2800 A Harbor Blvd, Oxnard, CA, this breakfast restaurant is lovely for its outside patio because of its scenic view of being by the harbor where people dock their boats, being close to the water, and for the patio being all sand to make it feel like you are having breakfast on the beach. Mrs. Olson’s has been around for 50 years! “What started as a small coffee shop only holding 45 people, it has grown into a neighborhood favorite breakfast restaurant being able to hold 350 people” says new owner of Mrs. Olson’s Coffee Hut. “Based off our sales, The Big Basic (2 eggs, potatoes or hash browns, choice bacon sausage or turkey sausage. beef patty or ham steak with additional charge) has to be our customers favorite dish along with The Breakfast Burrito and the Chilaquiles.”

My favorite dishes at Mrs. Olson’s are:
1.Country Fried Steak and Eggs ($18)
2.Classic Eggs Benedict ($15).
3.Chilaquiles ($16)

Everything on the menu is super delicious. Great food and great customer service, hands down a beautiful environment to be eating breakfast by the beach.

2. BG’s Cafe (Oxnard,CA)

BG’s Cafe is what you really call a “Hole-In-The-Wall” breakfast joint where it is really easy to miss on the front street, but the trick is to enter through the back of the restaurant where there is more parking . Located on 428 S A St, Oxnard, CA
BG’s Cafe has been serving delicious food since 1971 in downtown Oxnard. This family-owned restaurant has the tastiest coffee I’ve ever tried , and I don’t usually have the care for drinking coffee.

My Go-To meals at BG’s Cafe are:
1. Homemade Chilaquiles with Country Potato’s and Eggs -$18 (seen in photo). This is an everyday favorite Mexican breakfast and also a customer favorite item.
2. The Ham Steak and Eggs -$20. This dish comes out with a huge slab of cooked ham and comes with a side of eggs, golden hash browns and some fruit.

BG’s Cafe is truly a hidden gem, I’ve been going here ever since I was a little kid and the food has only gotten more delicious. I highly recommend visiting this great establishment.

1. Arts Corner Cafe (Ventura,CA)

My personal favorite breakfast spot to go to is Arts Corner Cafe. Arts Corner Cafe is a top tier breakfast spot in Ventura. This family-owned restaurant is located on the corner at 1907 E Thompson Blvd, Ventura, CA. Arts is a lovely breakfast restaurant to go to on a date, eat with family, or just to simply get good food. They have a nice outdoor area to eat your food along with indoor seating as well, but I prefer to eat outside. They also have amazing cocktails for the 21+ crowd that comes on by. My go to drink is their Paloma $12. A customer favorite is their Mimosas that come in this big goblet for $12-$15.

The main 2 items I order are:
1. The Cinnamon Roll – $11
This big cinnamon roll is great for an appetizer or dessert so make sure to not be eating alone. Comes with this rich glazed cream and some syrup on the side. This item is a for sure another customer favorite!
2. New York Steak and Eggs w/ Country Style potato’s – $30
(seen in the photo). The juicy steak is covered with a chimichurri sauce over it and blends really well in flavor with the eggs and potato’s.

The whole menu has really great quality food and drinks. It can be expensive but that’s why you get the amazing love and quality type of food they prepare. The customer service is also welcoming to all! I suggest getting there early in the morning because they are usually packed as the day goes by.
