Lake
neighborhood
Lake Avenue is gaining popularity with shoppers over the infamous Old Town. Deemed the Pasadena version of Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills without its pretentiousness, this avenue, holds many trendy boutiques and restaurants. Some of the fashionable boutiques include Anthropologie and Dwell. On Green Street, visit Tarantino's, a cozy Italian Restaurant, recommended by Elmer Dill's of Channel 7, ABC food Critic. If pizza doesn't whet your appetite, walk west another block to a culinary school café. For Happy Hour, Burger Continental, South Lake, is to place to meet your friends for $2.00 hamburger combo meals and drinks. Feel like watching an artsy film, visit the Laemmle Theatre. The Crocodile Cafe is the hot spot to watch people, and Vroman's is the place to find rare books.
