IVI Vision Debuts ‘Merc’ a Universal Aviator
10.18.18
Just in time for the Great Pacific Airshow, Orange County-based IVI Vision, a premium independent eyewear company launched the ultimate aviator, the Merc. Inspired by those with the ‘right stuff’ this universal aviator is a nod to the ‘prime’ pilots of the early ‘60s that broke all the barriers. With classic and clean lines with a contemporary edge, the lightweight frame offers ultra-comfort with spring loaded hinges and durable nose pads.
What I love it about the most are the cool colorways inspired by the Pacific that it comes in. There are five shades to choose from including Midway Blue, Antique Brass and Flash Pacific Blue Lens; Black and Rose Gold Lens; Polished Gold/Rose Gold Lens; Polished Gold/Deep Virdian Flash Lens; and Chrome/Super Strong Silver Lens.
As with all of IVI Vision’s eyewear, Merc is impact resistant with optimal clarity, and harmful light protection thanks to its Carl Zeiss lenses. They provide 100% UVA, UVB and Blue light protection.
You can shop the Merc collection at ivision.com.

Pacific Hideaway’s ‘Top Gun’ Pop-Up Bar
10.17.18
In honor of the upcoming Top Gun sequel and timed with The Great Pacific Airshow (Oct. 19-21), Pacific Hideaway is launching a Top Gun-themed Pop-Up Bar.
Guests can channel their inner fighter pilot with tasty bites such as Take My Breath Away which consists of fried goose, sweet Thai chili, cilantro, cucumber, pickled carrots, and stinger sauce. They can also step into the Danger Zone and sip on a cocktail of the same name made with xicaru mezcal, Milagro Reposado, and ancho chile liqueur.
Pacific Hideaway’s Top Gun Pop-Up Bar and specialty menu is only available for The Great Pacific Airshow and will be open Oct. 19-21, 4-11 p.m. It is located within the Shorebreak Resort which is at the corner of 5th Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway, just steps away from the airshow.
Pacific Hideaway is at 500 Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach.
