One does not repeat the same lessons about driving to a city that tows cars for no reason, but since this Taste and Sounds Food Crawl on South Lake Ave was offering free parking, I showed up here 20 years later. I have found huge improvement here, but by the time I left, it got so crowded, it was a tad difficult getting out of The Shops on South Lake parking lot. I'll still rate this location a 5-star simply because I didn't encounter Any hassle heading back here 2 decades later.

We also visited Pet Food Express where we were able to pet a cute Corgi and visited the Macy nearby. I parked in the parking lot behind Nick's and depending when you go, you might have to pay or it will be free. Since I parked my car after 7pm on a Wednesday, it's free. I wasn't sure at first and tried paying at the parking machine and also through the mobile app but it wasn't working. It wasn't until I walked inside Pet Food Express and the worker let me know they stop enforcing the parking time limit after 5pm on weekdays.

I didn't even know there was a South Lake Avenue area in Pasadena until I saw the signs. I just…read morethought there are just shops along Lake Avenue. Anyway, I was at Susie's Cakes and happened to park in the back parking lot because there were no street parking available. Tons of parking in the back. You wouldn't think there are plenty of parking from the main street. There are pay parking stations. Please read the signs. Certain time limits are free. To me that's service from the city of Pasadena. Thank you!!! Otherwise, you'll have to pay for parking. Cost shouldn't be too bad though. There are actually a few blocks of shops and eateries that pertain to South Lake Avenue. Selections are fantastic. I haven't visited all of them. Here are a few mentionables... Susie's Cakes, Randy's Donuts, El Mendocino, Panda Express, and many more. Park close to where you'll be dining, shopping, and playing. Happy Shopping and Dining!!!

I really like this mall I just visited about two weeks ago…read more They have a great selection of Asian specialty foods, skincare, and toys/things to do. My favorite place in the mall is the Hello Pottery and the bakery upstairs near the Gap. The massage people upstairs could do a little better but I guess because I'm pregnant they didn't want to put too much pressure on me. I felt like they rushed my massage at Diamond massage since it was close to closing time. I have yet to see the entire mall but I loved one of their Korean skincare stores I got a few items, the old navy is nice, Nordstrom employees helped me and told me about my bag that I got how to care for it, the Din tai fung was my first time going and nice. I still want to explore the rest :) especially the market downstairs

From the promenade being added to new stores opening and closing. I will say out of all the malls around the area, this mall has lasted through the decline of shopping IRL. Perhaps it's the activations they've added like the LNY stuff, or maybe the fact that they're adding new restaurants and concepts, but somehow this mall has stayed open while others have sadly closed. Still, this is a mall I'd keep coming back to for some quick shopping.

The service in the stores I stepped into was friendly and low pressure which made the experience even better. Prices felt fair for the area and there is something for different budgets.

It is a cute stop if you are already in the area and want something low key and easy.

At first I was charmed by the concept of this character-filled plaza, which holds some shops,…read moreservices like a hair salon, and restaurants. It's very visually appealing from the parking lot side, which holds a a store called 3/4 Moon, and El Portal Restaurant. Walking through to the Colorado Blvd. side, after we finished dinner at El Portal, was a mixed bag, though. There's still a lot of brick texture, and nooks and crannies for visual and architectural interest. There is also a lot of missed potential, I believe. If it were mine to market, I'd bring in containers with a variety of trees, bushes, and flowers to soften and enliven the space. Making it more of a garden vibe would increase the appeal of strolling through the corridor and checking out the various businesses inside. I noted a yarn shop and a dance-themed business. Not sure if it was just for clothing, or if it was a studio. The parking lot entrance is off Green Street. Valet parking with validation was available when we went in the 4:00 hour on Sunday afternoon. El Portal validated the first hour. We paid $3.00 for staying into a second hour. It's the kind of location where you probably wouldn't feel encouraged to wander unless you were already going there specifically for one of the businesses. Having to pay for parking solidifies my thoughts in that regard.

The parking garage is $2 an hour (which seems reasonable) and very handy to the property. It was at night but I felt perfectly safe inside. The spaces are large enough for my SUV and the garage is well-lit and everything is labeled.
