Food Scene

Casual, order at a counter type place, with outdoor seating. The pizza is delicious and since you order by the ounce, you can sample a bunch of different types. They always have classic pizzas, as well as some that are more fancy and unusual.

Super tasty Mexican food. It's an order-at-the-counter kind of place, with not your average order-at-the-counter food. It can get crowded on Friday and Saturday nights, but the line tends to move quick. The chips and salsa are delicious!

QUESO - need we say more?! This is a Tex Mex spot, with a trendy and modern twist. It's casual (order at the counter), but they also serve alcohol. Seating is mostly outdoors in a lovely, quiet patio.

Casual, order-at-the-counter Taiwanese restaurant. The peanuty dan-dan noodles are delicious, and so is the "thousand layer pancake" (hard to describe, but really yummy).

This is a great starting point for a walk/run through the Arroyo Seco (there's a large parking lot). We suggest running in the direction of the historic Pasadena Bridge.

Sightseeing

Absolutely stunning private gallery and gardens. Once a private residence, Huntington Gardens is sprawling -- you could spend an entire day walking the property.

Getting Around

The South Pasadena stop is a little further from our house than Highland Park, but still walkable (about 2 miles, or 30-35 minutes). The town of South Pasadena is quaint with some nice little shops and cafes. The train stops right in town.

Essentials

If you don't know Trader Joes, this is a great chain of grocery stores. They have interesting snack foods, as well as pre-made and frozen foods that are great for "kitchenette" meals (that require just refrigeration and a microwave!).
