This local drive was for checking out Cafe Wang's location instead we found a bunch of Victorian homes around Old Town La Verne. There were also other local coffee houses I'd like to come back to try as well. This is a conveniently located Old Town near Walnut, so I may be a frequent visitor on the weekends coming here to relax. Also, what a cozy looking Old Town!!!! Very lovely. See you next time.

My husband had been eyeing Nova Brewing's unique, Asian-inspired beers for a while after seeing…read morethem sold at a nearby restaurant. The yuzu witbier and oolong island were the best ones. When we walked in, we were happily surprised to find out they had a variety of sakes to taste as well.  Even though I'm normally not a sake fan, we decided to try all of them--and I actually loved Nova's! They were smooth, well-balanced, and really easy to drink (which is dangerous!). My favorite was the yuzu sparkling. .  Afterward, we grabbed a beer flight to taste the Ginjo collection (his favorites were the Oolong Island and Ginjo Blue). I also really appreciated that they let you bring your own food--we brought along our sushi lunch to enjoy right alongside the drinks. We both had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience here at Rubel Castle. Our host, guide,…read moreand local "Rubelligent" volunteer, Ms. Kathleen had all the intel about this historical property. She was so knowledgeable and helped set the stage for us to slip into a forgotten era and get a glimpse of how imagination met inventiveness with a DIY charm. ~ A LITTLE BACKSTORY FOR YOU ~ It's not pronounced Rubel as Barney from Flintstones. Rather, it's like Target is to Targét when we are trying to be fancy. So that's Rubel as in "Roo-bell." Unlike modern-day construction, Rubel Castle wasn't built overnight. It was made of collected recyclables and construction rubble that spanned many decades and took several friends and volunteers to build it. For Michael, however, the lifetime inspiration was first sparked at the age of 9. His love for canons was where it started and the rest is history you can hear about on the tour. But don't just show up like we did randomly one day. To book, visit RubelTours.org and make a reservation. ~ OUR TOUR EXPERIENCE ~ It's as if Michael Rubel, the creator and mastermind of this enchanted dominion had intended it to be--magical. Built in the castle period of wood and tin, every corner captured our interests, from antique cars to the 1890's Seth Thomas Tower Clock with a unique backstory (and only six in existence today). There were old vending machines, tools, trinkets, and machinery that time had long forgotten. Did I mention there was a drawbridge? Yes, and a dungeon too. I was just waiting for a dragon to come swoop down on us next. Walk in the footsteps of famous visitors like Alfred Hitchcock, Dwight Eisenhower, Jack Benny, and Bob Hope. It's a feast for the eyes no matter where you glance. I particularly enjoyed the bottle house that Michael built in 1968 as his "home" as a kid. That independent spirit was quite charming to see. ~ WATERCOLOR NATURESCAPE ~ We were fortunate to have our gracious host lead us on a tour and organize a special art crafting experience outdoors. It was absolutely lovely beneath the trees and between rusted vintage cars from the turn of the century. We each got a small canvas to paint our flowers in watercolor. (This particular experience takes place in the Spring and Fall, weather permitting.) We heard the squirrels rattling in the leaves and birds chirped and sang in the trees above. We discovered that peacocks apparently originated from this property, compliments of Michael Rubel. And did I mention that on the far side of the property, a custom garden was in full bloom?
