Things To Do

The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens

130 acres of stunning themed gardens, art, and history, the Huntington Garden also happens to be one of our first dates.

Norton Simon Museum

A hidden gem of a museum with an incredible collection, conveniently located in Pasadena.

Arlington Garden in Pasadena

This free, donations-supported, community-run garden in the heart of Pasadena serves as a home and habitat to native flora and fauna.

Universal Studios Hollywood

If theme parks are more your speed but you don't want to drive down to Orange County to see the Mouse, Universal Studios is right around the corner (relatively speaking) from where Mike and Rachel live.

Japanese Village Plaza and the rest of Little Tokyo

One of our favorite places to hang out in Los Angeles is the Japanese Village Plaza in Little Tokyo. You can take the Metro Rail's E Line (formerly known as the Gold Line) from Pasadena to the heart of the city and enjoy some of the best Japanese food, baked treats, and shopping that L.A. has to offer.

Grand Central Market

A bustling food court in the middle of downtown that features popular L.A. staples and a diverse array of local flavors. It's also across the street from the famous Angel's Flight funicular railway. Take the Metro Rail's E Line (Gold Line) from Pasadena to Union Station and hop on the B Line (Red Line) for just a couple more stops to make your way to Grand Central Market.

The Broad

The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles

If you make it downtown for lunch at Grand Central Market, two of L.A.'s most popular museum destinations are right around the corner. Those who are into pop art and 'grammable installations should check out the Broad, while Rothko fans will find a lot to like about MOCA. Plus, the world-famous Disney Concert Hall is just across the street from both.
