It's a great spot to get quality food, but beware of the waiting time for the food to come to your table. This is a popular spot, if it's busy, you're going to wait awhile. I totally recommend the Moroccan mint with boba, chocolate milk shake is excellent and the smoked salmon pizza is to die for!

Arts & Culture
Amazing art collection in a truly manageable and not overwhelming floor plan. Large permanent collection occupies most the gallery space. Outdoor sculptures decorate the grounds. Pleasant setting for the outdoor Garden Cafe. Diverse shopping in the museum store. Love the complete Impressionist paintings including Van Gogh works.

Paseo Colorado is the home of Rose Parade. This is a street with character. Lots of fine places to eat, and you'll get a sense of the architectural heritage of Pasadena. Lots to take in form the chic city center to the outlying areas with dollar stores and tattoo parlours. Take as much time as you need; it's all fascinating.

Parks & Nature
Amazing historical museum that has a variety of plant life, art, sculpture, gardens, books, furniture, fountains, architecture and more! I enjoy the ambiance and finger food at the Rose Garden Tea Room, where the service is excellent and the staff very friendly. It definitely enhances the experience to take a break from the many wonderful exhibits and gardens to drink tea and refuel yourself to explore the rest!
