Things To Do
Old Pasadena
Charming and full of history, Old Pasadena is our weekend getaway. With its unique mix of boutique shopping, delicious dining, and lively bars, it’s the perfect spot to spend an afternoon or evening. From its historic architecture to vibrant atmosphere, it's where we love to explore and unwind together.
The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens
A place near and dear to us, this is where Mark proposed, surrounded by the beauty of the gardens. Jada’s favorite spot is the serene Japanese Garden, with its peaceful ponds and stunning landscapes—truly a must-see.
The Cellar: A Wine Library
This hidden speakeasy is an underground gem. One of our favorite spots to unwind with a glass (or two) of wine after dinner. The cozy atmosphere and incredible selection make it a perfect end to a night out.
Granville
For a laid-back brunch with a view, Granville’s rooftop is the place to be. With great vibes, fresh dishes, and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a sunny morning in Pasadena while sipping on something refreshing.
Griffith Observatory
For breathtaking views of the city skyline and the stars, the Griffith Observatory is a must-visit. It’s also a great starting point for exploring Griffith Park, where Jada loves to hike and take in the stunning scenery.
Quarters Korean BBQ
Located in the heart of K-Town, Quarters is our go-to spot for an amazing Korean BBQ experience. The vibrant atmosphere and top-notch meats make it the perfect place to enjoy a fun, interactive meal with friends (or just the two of us!).
Academy Museum of Motion Pictures
Mark's favorite museum in LA, this place is a celebration of all things cinema. From iconic exhibits to immersive experiences, it's a must-see for movie lovers. Don’t forget to stop by Fanny’s for a delicious bite while you’re there!
Good Times at Davey Wayne's
Step into the 1970s at this bachelor-pad-themed bar, where patrons enter through a fridge door. Retro decor, boozy snow cones, and roller-skating dancers complete the groovy atmosphere, bringing the decade's carefree party spirit to life.
Hermosa Beach
A perfect getaway by the coast, Hermosa Beach offers stunning views, a relaxed vibe, and plenty of beachfront fun. Whether it's a walk along the pier or a chill day by the water, it’s one of our favorite places to unwind and soak up the sun.
