Pasadena is one of the oldest cities adjoining Los Angeles and is the main population center of the San Gabriel Valley in Southern California.

The main strip in Old Town Pasadena (Colorado) has some great places to eat including: Barcelona (tapas), Villa Soriso (italian), Sushi Roku, Russell's Diner, Manny's and more.
However, while living in Pasadena, my favorite place to eat was Il Fornaio in Miller Alley. There is a big square off the beaten path (called "Miller Alley" or "One Colorado") - they show old movies outside, have a big Christmas tree lit up during the holidays, and just a great atmosphere.

There are 2 Laemmle's theaters in Pasadena - one in Miller Alley / One Colorado, where they show the blockbuster movies. The other (further down Colorado Blvd.) shows independent flicks that don't get national distribution but are still great.
Both theater's are older, so don't expect the glitz and glam of a larger chain. That said, they are still well kept and have very friendly staff.
