    Oh wow!!!! Since I have stopped coming to Pasadena because they decided to tow my car for zero signs and zero warnings, I changed my mind and gave them another shot a whopping 20 years later. 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. And there were definitely free GiveAways such as beautifully designed shopping bags, free samples on food and drinks from select cafes only. Ain't complaining!!!!

    Got coffee, strolled down Lake Street then went shopping. Parking was free and easy and the TJMaxx and Macy's Backstage were worth it.

    I was prepared to buy, spend but the shops were unimaginative, uninspiring...

    After dining at Sugarfish, I discovered that it's located inside The Commons, a charming and…read morebeautifully designed shopping area. The atmosphere is fantastic, with outdoor seating where you can enjoy a coffee, get some work done, or just hang out and relax. A unique feature of the courtyard is the two red telephone booths, which add a fun decorative touch and make the space feel even more inviting. After our meal, I was able to shop at Williams-Sonoma, which is conveniently located here, along with other great businesses and restaurants, including: * FACILE * SOULCYCLE * Drybar * Green Street Restaurant * Lemonade Restaurant * Philz Coffee * UOVO * Mercado * Dan Modern Chinese * SUGARFISH * The Counter * TravelStore Whether you're grabbing a bite to eat, shopping, or just looking for a cozy spot to relax, The Commons is a great place to visit. Recommend you checking this place out when you're in Pasadena!

What caught my eye were the two red phone booths (feels like you're in London) but it had no phones inside, but it's okay! There is still a Christmas tree in the middle of all the restaurants. The places to eat here are the following: * Philz Coffee - my fave coffee shop in Pasadena! * Dan Modern Chinese * Lemonade * Mercado (Mexican cuisine) * Sugarfish by Sushi Nozawa * The Counter * Green Street Restaurant * Uovo (Italian cuisine) Some of the restaurants I had tried in other locations except for Dan Modern Chinese, Mercado, Green Street Italian and Uovo. Looking forward to try these! For retail and services, there's the Dry Bar, Soulcycle, Facile Skin Care and Williams Sonoma. It's a small complex and not too crowded. I would take family and friends here to eat and relax.

    My wife and I had a great time here last night when we came to eat at Nick's Pasadena to celebrate…read moreour anniversary. 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!!!

    This is such a big and beautiful mall. Inside the mall looks so luxurious and spacious. They have…read morestores in outdoor space in second floor as well. It's a hub for not just great food and shopping, but for entertainment they have AMC and Dave and Buster's as well. Plenty of parking available between outdoor parking lot and the multi level indoor garage. We initially came to the mall for dinner at Din Tai Fung. While walking the place, I found they had so many other Asian brand stores like Miniso, Meet Fresh, Uniqlo and Kinokuniya bookstore. But most surprising of all was finding a whole 99 Ranch inside the mall. After dinner, we did some shopping here. Later at night, I came back here to play some games in Dave & Buster's. But the signs can improve a bit for better direction. I was so confused how to get to the parking near D&B entrance. Also, the parking garage seemed under maintained. But overall a really great place for both locals and tourists.

    Just an FYI: if you don't like large crowds, I definitely wouldn't come on the weekends because it…read morecan get packed. There are plenty of great stores to check out and a really good selection of restaurants. They also have a large bowling alley, a movie theater, and play areas for kids, so there's plenty to do whether you're coming with friends or family. It's a really fun mall with a lot going on, and there's something for pretty much everyone.
