Morning
A classic way to start the day in Pasadena is with an energizing breakfast at Marston’s . After your fill of pancakes, stroll east a couple of blocks on Walnut Street and have a look at the beautiful Beaux-Arts Main Library and the majestic City Hall a little to the south. Continue farther south to Colorado Boulevard, then head west to Old Pasadena, the city’s original downtown, a popular shopping and dining district. Check out the well-restored historic façades while browsing the stores, then pause briefly for a snack or perhaps a cold beer at the Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant .
Afternoon
In the afternoon, either drive or walk west along Colorado Boulevard, then turn right on Orange Grove Boulevard to catch the 1pm or 2pm tour of the Gamble House , the Craftsman-era magnum opus by Charles and Henry Greene. Fans of this architectural style could check out several more residences designed by the brothers along nearby Arroyo Terrace and Grand Avenue. Others can make their way back to Colorado Boulevard for a visit to the first-rate Norton Simon Museum. The gorgeous gardens are a nice place for a respite and refreshments. A perfect finale to your day is to treat yourself to a grand dinner at The Raymond , one of the city’s oldest and and most popular restaurants.
