It would have been so much nicer if it was a little bit cooler. I would definitely be coming back next year.

I have been here during Christmas but this was my first time experiencing it for Halloween. I read…read morea lot of reviews about this venue being too small. It is definitely smaller than the Christmas one, but it wasn't that bad. I still found it enjoyable. There are 10 different themed walk throughs. My favorite was definitely the Pumpkin Forest and the Dia De Los Muertos Ofrenda. You were able to write a note to a loved one that has passed and put it on the Ofrenda. They also had an open area with a bunch of different food/drink booths. Each booth sold something different like hot food, snacks, desserts, hot chocolate, and even alcoholic beverages. Tickets are a bit pricey for a walk through. We paid $70 for my husband and I. However, it's a great place to take the family to create memories or even a date night.

There are also some other totem pole type Halloween characters. Your little kids will have fun running around the hay bale maze. Grab something to drink, if you have a designated driver, and watch them run around for a bit. They will sleep well after that.

I haven't been out to the 626 Night Market in a while, but this year I actually got to go on the…read morelast two days of the market. I went Saturday because they had the Dreamstate event going on and it was fire! The music was good and the crowd was hyped. I honestly think it's really cool that they're doing something like this at the night market and they should definitely keep bringing more EDM events here lol. It seemed pretty crowded compared to the last time I came, but they also had a ton of new vendors. Everything felt more spread out, so even with all the people, the lines weren't super crazy. I ended up coming back again on Sunday for the last day. It was crowded too, but nothing unbearable. We waited in line for some squid and a few other things, and I think the longest we waited was around 20 minutes, which honestly isn't too bad for the 626 Night Market. Overall, I really enjoyed coming back this year. Lots of food to try, plenty of new vendors, and adding events like Dreamstate made it even more fun. I definitely plan on coming back the next time they're around!

I've been going to the 626 Night market every year for the last couple of years. Although I feel…read morelike prices have rose pretty significantly in the past couple of years this is an event I'm always excited for. It is peak summer where you are able to be out in a comfortable summer night and browse what feels like any and all food there is. I thought this year was especially great with the DJ and the location. Previous years they always had the DJ tucked away all the way in the back but having them front and center of the event was a great call. Always have that awesome music in the background added a lot to my experience. Some of the standout thing we got was Japadog which is a wagyu hotdog that will make you rethink what a hotdog can be. We got a truffle katsu sandwich there too which is as fabulous as it sounds. Also had salt bread which was especially exciting considering I have been craving them ever since visiting Korea. Lastly, I got a fried Reece's cup which I have been in the hunt for some time since they seem pretty rare, so of course that hit the spot. Overall, this was an awesome 626 night market better than previous years. This is something I'll continue to look forward to every year!

It was held at Central Park in Pasadena. Schoolhouse Garage parking is conveniently located a couple blocks away. Another fun afternoon checking out tons of merchandise/food (i.e., clothing, leather, ceramics, books, kids activities, butterfly garden, olive oil, honey) and food truck vendors. So many cool arts and handcrafted crafts made by talented people. Visited the Information Booth and bought a cute long sleeve shirt with a picture of the jackalope on it for $20. I had a $5 off voucher for use, hence, I only paid $15. Cool! I am a magnet collector of my travels. Bought two intriguing magnets from Weird Animals. Thanks! Crossed path with Dem' Nutz once again. So happy to take home some amazing nuts. Don't forget to support them wherever you find them. It will be worth your while.

I would recommend this for small kids as they are free to go in with a paid adult ticket and you can go in all day with the stamp. The items they sell are so cute and so unique.

Review #893 2025-065…read moreYEE #136 Comped Dulce Pan Order: Alemana Dulce Pan Order: Brazo Gitano, Guisano, Oreja, Quesadilla Yelp is celebrating Latinx Heritage Month with La Usuluteca, an authentic Central American deli, & lucky Elites like myself get to enjoy 1 complimentary pan dulce of our choosing. The bakery is located near Arlington Heights, off Washington Blvd. & 10th Ave.; you can't miss the bright red name banner & awning. Upon entering, your senses are hit with baking & cooking scents: pan dulces & pupusas? After selecting my Yelp freebie: Alemana (vanilla muffin pound cake), I asked what's their best seller & got the Quesadilla. It's a sweet, dense cheese bread with a texture that mimics a pound cake. It was really tasty if a tad on the dry side. My son picked the Oreja, literally translates as "ear" because it looks like one. This puff pastry is also called a palmier. It's sweet, light, crisp, & flaky. M says they're way better than Costco's. I also added a Brazo Gitano (strawberry & coconut Swiss/jelly roll), & Guisano (pineapple-filled roll). Although I might have mixed up Alemana & Guisano. I figured this is a mom & pop, so a menu is not probable, & requested the server's help; she was kind enough to take the extra time to provide the names of dulce pans. There's no dulce pan menu, but there is an electronic hot foods menu behind the counter. Not sure of price points, but I got 4 items, excluding my Yelp freebie, for $11.00+. There's a 50¢ surcharge with a cc payment. It would be nice to have placards labeling & pricing the items (sometimes pricing dictates my choices & the quantity). Friendly, knowledgeable, & helpful customer service... my server took extra time to provide the names of the dulce pans & describe what's in them. While I'm not likely in this part of town, I'm definitely a fan of this Central American bakery & will stop by if I'm in this neighborhood. Muchas gracias Yelp, CM Margaret, & La Usuluteca team for my weekend's sweet treats... mi dulce son muy deliciosos!!

***LA Foodie's Float Trip Review***…read more Needed to wait until I calmed the F down to write this review. I was pretty excited to go to this event. Ice cream + beer = beer floats. What's not to be excited about? Event was from 4-7p so I arrived around 4:30 thinking it was perfect timing...wrong! So many things wrong, I barely know where to being. Problem #1 - while angel city brewery is rather large, the parking lot legit has space for about 7 cars. Given that the event had anywhere from 150-200 tickets sold, parking was atrocious. It took me 20-25 minutes to find parking & I only did so when I gave up & headed to little Tokyo to park in a paid lot. Problem #2 - Finally walked over to angel city to find a long ass line. My friend was already waiting for me in line so thankful I was able to scoot in with her. No one at angel city explained what this line was for. All they said was that there was a ticketed & non ticketed line (meaning tickets to the event or not). That was fine for 5 minutes but this line wasn't moving at all. At some point I found out that the venue was at capacity & it was 1 in 1 out. It would have been nice to know this, not to have had to figure it out by counting the people going in & out myself. The other really uncool thing was that they were alternating between letting in people from the ticketed vs. non ticketed line. While I understand to some extent, I paid to get in this joint/event! These other people did not so why am I not getting priority? After waiting about 30 minutes, I was finally IN (on top of the 20-25 to find parking). I checked in only to have to wait in another line to get beer for the floats. I should note that the folks at the check-in were extremely apologetic & sympathizing about the line & the wait. While it still sucked, it was nice that they were concerned about it. After that everything went much smoother....basically after I got my beer + ice cream 1 hour after I initially arrived. There were several issues, some of which were caused by the venue. 1. There was an engagement party & a birthday party going on at the same time. Why would you have 3 events during the same time? 2. No one explained why the hell we were waiting in this awful line to get in for so long. 3. The venue was not a good choice given the parking situation vs. the number of tickets sold to the event. The only reason I'm giving this a 2nd star is because of the LA Foodie staff. They went out of their way to express concern & were very sorry about the issues so that helped easy the stressfulness. Overall it was poor planning on both the venue & the event coordinator's side.

For my first review of the New Year, I'm looking back to the singularly most epic Unofficial Yelp…read moreEvent I've yet attended. An event so special it warranted a Yelp page of its own. This page. It's the story of how I finally got my Breakfast Club Badge, a badge that had long eluded me. I have to start by telling you about my dear friend from the Honolulu Yelp community, Nadine C. Whenever Nadine is visiting Southern California, which is quite often, she organizes these insanely fun Unofficial Yelp Event get togethers. Yelpers come from far and wide, often driving well over an hour just to get in on the Fun and hang out with Nadine. I've been to quite a few of these special events and I've met so many really cool Yelpers. When we get together at these meet-ups, we all usually exchange small gifts with each other. In a way, I guess you could say it's kind of like a California version of the Japanese Omiyage custom practiced by many Hawaiians. I say that because the whole gift exchange thing started with the sweet little gifts that Nadine brings us from Hawaii. Always the most thoughtful little presents! At one of these events my friend Rose F from down in Covina brought these super cool Yelp Breakfast Badge Coffee Mugs she designed and had made as gifts for everyone. I can't begin to tell you how excited I was to get that Breakfast Club Badge Coffee Mug! Woot woot! As I was celebrating this incredibly cool gift, I happened to mention that I hadn't actually earned the Breakfast Club Badge. As soon as Nadine heard me say I hadn't yet earned the Breakfast Club Badge, I mean within like 10 seconds, she came up with the plan. Right on the spot she announced that the next time she visited, our get together would be about getting me my Breakfast Club Badge. Someone suggested Millie's Cafe in Pasadena for the location. We quickly agreed Millie's would be perfect. Nadine immediately texted Hannah S from Monrovia and invited her to the event. Hannah said she was in. Before this I had never met Hannah and was super impressed that she would agree to help me get my badge. Right away Rose said she would come too! So wonderful and so appropriate because it was her gift of the Breakfast Club Badge mugs that got this ball rolling. I was blown away when my sweet friend Te-see B of Valley Glen piped up and said she would be there too. That was huge! Because if I know anything about Te-see, I know that she isn't a big fan of doing early morning meet -ups far from home. To come to this event she would have to get up hella early and drive a long ass way. Nevertheless, she said she'd be there. Me and Te-see are tight like that! While all this is being discussed, Nadine is texting invitations to Leilani M from Chino Hills and Pasadena's coolest Yelper, Sam B. Both said they'd try to make it. Impressive since I hadn't previously met either of these two Yelpers. But I'm telling you, it's very hard to turn down an invitation from Nadine C! As you can see from all the above, this whole UYE was nothing short of a Conspiracy! All these Yelpers coming together! Yelpers from hither and yon. All coming together to have fun with hanging out awhile with Nadine and to help me get my Breakfast Club Badge! Pretty damn cool! We met inside the restaurant. Hugs all around. Big Smiles. Gifts exchanged. We were seated at big table right in the middle of Millie's. I felt like I was the King of Pasadena. Everyone brought their personal Breakfast Club Badge Coffee Mug. Cheers to us all! Millie's turned out to be a great choice for our meet up. They were so accommodating. The service was exemplary. And the food was excellent. I had Eggs Benedict, something I usually only order on Special Occasions. Well, I'm telling you, this was a Special Occasion is there ever was one! As soon as everyone was seated we all checked in at the same time. Instantly my screen lit up with the notification I had earned the coveted Breakfast Club Badge. Just a short time after that, Sam arrived and checked in. She got her Breakfast Club Badge too. Huzzah! How cool is that? One event, Two Badges!!! It was a total rush! My head was spinning. I thought I would never get that badge. It's so ridiculously difficult to do. And I got it. I freaking got it! Earning this badge isn't something one can do on their own. It takes planning. It requires a coordinated effort. I could have never accomplished this goal without Nadine's help and the support of the amazing Yelp friends I've met at her wonderful events. So, let me start off this year by raising my Breakfast Club Badge mug and sending massive quantities of Yelp Love to the Impossibly Cool Nadine C of Kaneohe! Thank you, Nadine! You spread Aloha everywhere you go! And I'm sending heaps of Yelp Love to Rose, Te-see, Hannah, Leilani and Sam!! You guys are The Best! Thank you so much for helping me get my Breakfast Club Badge!
