Coffee and Delicacies with a Touch of Honey and Lavender
Pasadena is the ninth-largest city in Los Angeles County- and the second oldest (incorporating in 1886). It is home to the Tournament of Roses, ArtCenter College of Design, Caltech, JPL, many museums and artists (including the author of this post!). It is nestled below the San Gabriel mountains on the northeast side of Los Angeles. It feels more like an east coast town with big houses on wide streets canopied with trees. It is about 20 minutes from downtown Los Angeles and thus provides a low-key, suburban hideaway without losing any of the flavor of city life.

Stunning art collection and gardens
It's hard to find a bookstore these days- let alone a good one. Vroman's is a good one. Before you even walk through the door, you are faced with magazine wall stretching out and wrapping around walls to your left and right. Newspapers, independent magazines and the standards- its all here. Inside, two floors of books are waiting for you. People stand, perusing pages in every aisle. On every shelf is a thoughtful suggestion from a Vroman's staffer. There is even a Pasadena section if you are interested in learning more about the area.
