Small town feel, first-class restaurants, entertainment, and wonderful cultural events- Pasadena has fulfilled that promise. From the world-famous Rose Parade on January 1st to our personal favorite restaurant the Parkway Grill both are not to be missed. The wonderful thing about Pasadena is that it isn’t the urban metropolis of Los Angeles; that is exactly why people love it. However, when you are ready for the big city and sandy beaches you are only a quick Metro away! Tree-lined streets architecturally significant homes, and diversity – this is Pasadena. (do not forget to take a day to explore Huntington Library and Gardens, one of the most beautiful places in Southern California!)
