    farmers market in black and white

    Montrose Shopping Park is a charming street district filled with business shopping stores along Honolulu avenue by the 210 freeway. Its located in an upper middle class neighborhood of Montrose. It has ample of street parking and public parking lots for visitors. MSPark has a good view of the mountains and people are friendly. It's a good place to shop, stroll and relax.

    We were driving near by Montrose Shopping Park, and we decided to explore this charming city. Montrose Shopping Park is not a park, it is an actual main street! The illumination of the trees in this street is magical! It gives you this happiness and tranquility. There is parking spots in the main street, but it is not a problem if you don't find any because there is a public parking which is free for the first 3 hours. There are variety of restaurants, gift shops, boutiques, Lego store, clothing, barbershop for kids and for adults, ice cream shop, rug shop, and coffee shops. We enjoyed walking around the park. I felt like I am watching one of the Christmas movies. The illumination of trees for the whole street Christmas tree decoration and even the gift shops are magical I can't wait until we plan for our next visit to this glamorous shopping park

    I knew about Montrose for a while now from LA based magazines and reviews of Yelp friends. I wanted to check it out because it's close by (near Glendale) but has that old time charm hard to find nowdays. Never got around it till recently and that's OK. It's always fun to have some places around LA area on your list that you're excited to check out, even after years of exploring this huge city! I was looking for an anniversary outing, closer by since we were tired after hosting family in town. So, Montrose fit the bill! We went by on a Sunday, right in time for the Farmer's Market which was fun to check out. Montrose reminds me of the main street in Monrovia (Myrtle Ave) or any other Main Street USA. It's charming, has a laid back vibe, has a lot of unique stores and it's fun to browse. Not too many blocks, just a few, but cool, nonetheless. Since we stopped by a few days after Christmas some stores were closed for the holidays and as an European I understand the need of longer vacations and celebrations, so I'll go back at some point and check out Montrose some other time of the year. Usually the close at 6 pm, so plan accordingly. But there are many unique stores to shop at, with interesting merchandise, some specialized in vintage, antique items, cute clothig boutiques, a few art galleries, a bowling alley (too bad it was closed for a private party, maybe some other time). And a few decent restaurants, a bit for everyone - from dinner food, coffee shops, kebab places, New American hip cuisine, Vietnamese, Italian, Spanish, etc, some more casual options, some more dedicated to fine dining. Great choices!!! Pretty X-mas decor that added even more charm to Montrose, locals milling around shopping, nice holiday atmosphere. I wish there were more cultural activities in the area, besides the one indie bookstore and few art galleries that were closed. But we got to see one of last (and prettiest) sunsets of 2018! Parking - easy on a Sunday, lots of street parking on Honolulu Ave and on side streets, free that day. Otherwise, paid meters and some lots around. Montrose isn't a long, bustling street like State St. in Santa Barbara, so don't expect a lot of excitement. But if you're looking for a charming, classy place to explore, indie stores to shop at, a cool restaurant to have a bite at during a nice weekend day, this could be a nice choice. You feel like you're on a trip in a laid back small town even if you never left LA!

    This area on Honolulu Avenue in the Montrose neighborhood of Glendale is one of our favorite hangouts. It's not too big, not too small. Aside from Starbucks and Coffee Bean, the rest of the street is composed of independent businesses. There's a mix of clothing boutiques, jewelry stores, specialty shops, dance studios and marshal arts dojos, services (like Montrose Travel Agency) and a wide variety of restaurants. Due to this eclectic blend, it offers a small town Main Street sensibility. We like to visit here after spending time at Descanso Gardens, as we did last night. After a yummy dinner at Black Cow Cafe, we went for a walk to ease our full stomachs and be present in the area. We noticed many new businesses. Feels like a renaissance, especially with some of the dining choices. Looks like we'll have more to explore on future visits.

    Nowadays, most shopping centers, plazas, and malls are inundated with large corporate stores lacking any true character. It isn't often that one finds a Main Street-esque shopping area of times long gone where each shop is local, independent, and unique. Thankfully, one doesn't have to look much further than the Montrose Shopping Park. The Montrose Shopping Park is like a trip through a time machine and into the past where all the locals gather to both shop for all of their goods and also feel a sense of community. You can almost see the horse-drawn carriages of the 1800s clopping down the street. The area encompasses one main street (Honolulu) with a few channels wavering off filled with small, local businesses. What kind of shops, you ask? A children's book store (Once Upon a Time), candy and treats (Montrose Candy Co), Faye's (women's clothing best suited for the elderly), a watch shop, art galleries, an ice cream parlor, toy store, an incredibly amazing retro bowling alley with only 7 lanes, and even a station for the Glendale Police (it is tiny!). The side streets feature a bit more of the health and beauty-inclined storefronts such as martial arts studios, hair salons, and vitamin shops. Basically, the Montrose Shopping Park well-situated in diversity. Naturally, the Montrose Shopping Park features several eateries, cafes, and restaurants. Most of these are local and independent with a a few mainstream stragglers (Starbucks, Coffee Bean, and Mamas and Papas Pizza). Each eatery features outdoor seating perfect for warm and romantic nights. Want to grab ingredients to cook for yourself? The Montrose Shopping Park is anchored at the end by a large Trader Joe's plus a library where you can grab a book to read while you eat. So what makes the Montrose Shopping Park truly stand out? The environment. First of all, it is nothing short of quaint and 'cute'. The streets feature benches under flowering trees and it is quiet and peaceful. In fact, it was so quiet and 'slow' that you almost forget you are in LA and can compare the ambiance to a sort of lower-level Santa Barbara. During the holidays, the street is decorated and filled with shimmering lights which is quite gorgeous to drive through at night. Plus, the area holds farmers markets, art walks, and other local events truly bring together the community. Main tip? Many of these are shops close early (6pm) and "late" is 8pm (restaurants are open later;) so definitely call specific stores for times if your shopping trip is urgent. Parking is somewhat tricky: street parking with meters but also a "local parking" lot (there are signs pointing to this). The meters are free after 6 pm. The Montrose Shopping Park is not the place to go to find commercially main stream goods but if you are seeking a unique gift in a peaceful environment; then you have met your match. Honolulu is a great place for a stroll with a loved one (lots of dogs around so not ideal for those afraid of 4-legged furry friends!) and will certainly bring an air of romance to those who favor less-populated shopping centers. The Montrose Shopping Park is a solid choice for a weekend outing!

    Montrose shopping park is the best kept secret in LA. It's actually not a secret, it's been there since the early 1900s... Yet few people know about it. In fact, most are genuinely surprised that a place like this exists in Los Angeles. Above the highest crest in Los Angeles, nestled in the foothills, and overlooking DTLA, rests the charming town of Montrose. Quaint mom and pop shops line the tree covered streets neatly tinseled with lights by night. There are over 180 shops serving the community with everything from boutiques to fine dining to health, fitness, and bowling. Whether you need retail therapy, ideas for a date, or a soothing day at the spa, there is something for everyone in Montrose. If you're looking for a short getaway from the hustle and bustle of LA, come to Montrose. It's 20 minutes away from DTLA and 10 minutes from Pasadena. Montrose is by far the most gorgeous, charming town in the whole country. Any and everyone in LA needs to come here and come often.

    Montrose is a charming old town with a great family atmosphere! Excellent farmer's market on Sunday, walkable historic downtown, great ambiance with twinkle lights on the trees, and excellent assortment of restaurants. One of my favorites is Casa Cordoba, Basin 141 and Paradis Ice Cream. Cute shops, too!

Alas those days are long gone and my grandpa can no longer drive, a bit sad and a bit nostalgic to look back on, I digress. It's a huge mall and I definitely prefer it over going to the Americana across the street (free parking here and such), but again, it's a huge mall that attracts all around, so parking can get quite busy, especially on the weekends, so keep that in mind. I like that there's an attached Target and lots of shopping and dining options. They have all of the franchises that you find at a standard mall and at a higher end mall too, so you get a good mix of both. There's an Apple Store, Beard Papa (not many of these left sadly), Bath and Body Works, Heytea, Hot Topic, Kura, Lacoste, Lush, Marugame Udon, Miniso, Molly Tea, Pop Mart, the Lego Store (I remember visiting this as a child), Uniqlo, Tokyo Life Style, etc. There's a markedly newer and lively part of the mall and when you go to the periphery, there's a strange mini floor on one of the top floors and the crowds start parsing through. It used to be the only mall where we could get some of these franchises and foods or we'd have to travel more into the OC, but now that the Santa Anita mall has almost every business that I would need, going to the Glendale Galleria is a once in awhile treat if we're already in the area.

After that, we all had dinner together at Kura Sushi. After dinner at Kura Sushi, I decided to pick up another kabob to go for my other brother at home. As I was walking back to Kura Sushi with the food, I passed by the restroom area near the food court and a kiosk that appeared to offer eyebrow tattooing services. A Hispanic female janitor was cleaning the area. My mom had called me and was asking me to come back quickly, so I was walking at a very fast pace with the takeout order in my hand. Suddenly, the female janitor jabbed me in the arm and started speaking angrily in Spanish. I couldn't understand a single word she was saying, and I was completely shocked by her behavior. I assume that because I was walking quickly to get back to my mom, I may not have noticed that she had placed a caution sign and was cleaning that section of the floor. Perhaps I accidentally walked through the area she was working on. Even so, I found it completely unacceptable for someone to jab me in the arm like that. To make matters worse, she kept speaking to me in Spanish, which I could not understand. I honestly thought her behavior was very inappropriate. I simply responded, "Please speak English and do not touch me, OK?" My mom was waiting for me and wanted to leave right away, so I didn't have time to continue the conversation and just walked away. However, the more I think about what happened that day, the more upset it makes me. I sincerely hope I never experience something this unpleasant again. Glendale Galleria should do a better job of training its employees on how to interact respectfully with customers.

As somewhat expected in a highly populated area in a big city, be vigilant and watch out for yourself, because despite cameras everywhere and the occasional security personnel, you tend to see some shady characters lurking around. Location 4 stars: In the Fairfax District area of Los Angeles, to the East of the original Farmer's Market. The Grove has a huge but very busy parking structure, so while you may have to journey to the upper levels, you will eventually find parking. Although some restaurants will validate part of the parking fees, be prepared to pay somewhere between $10 and $30 depending on how long you stay and which stores you visit. Their validation rules are fairly complex and not straightforward, so be sure to read all the fine print. They also have Valet parking on premises. Venue 4 stars: Nice modern open air set up with a Nordstrom, Zara and H&M and a bunch of smaller stores, an AMC movie theater, a Barnes and Noble, a Cheesecake Factory, and a variety of coffee shops and restaurants to fit most tastes and budgets. One catch being that the Grove parking lot cannot be validated by the Farmers Market stores and vice versa. Once you are on premises you can use the trolly to move from one end of the venue to the other. Also keep in mind that the Original Farmers Market is literally next door and attached to the Grove, which dramatically increases your food options.
