Going to Pasadena, CA

Check out the Huntington Library & Botanical Gardens (a few bucks/person to enter... well worth it tho) and Norton Simon Museum (VAST, impressive collection of post-Renaissance works & free entrance to boot, too!) most definitely.
 
Oops, overlooked the 'one night' factoid...

if you happen to have little social life, or just want an extreme adrenaline rush, test the limits of your rental Cirrus/Stratus convertible with a 'spirited' night-time drive up & down Route 110, then finish it off with some good (albeit expensive) Cuban food at J. Lo's Pasadena restaurant. 😛
 
I like Equator (coffee house) .. its bit in the alley. Fair Oaks / Colorado. Cheesecake factory is good. I like Ruby's diner (fair oaks/colorado).

A good bar would be 35'er but there are plenty of bars on colorado. Good upscale restarurant is Cafe Santorini (opposite Johnny Rockets).

There is teh new Paseo Colorado complex, we passed thru it during rose parade - supposed to be good to get some grub there.
 
I used to live in pasadena, ca. Marengo and California. I love pasadena. The Huntington Library is a good place to chill out and walk around. The place is one HUGE ass garden and damn beautiful. Pasadena also has Old Town on Colorado Blvd. It starts by the 110 freeway and continues all the way up to Arroyo Parkway, near Moose. Lots of shops and cute white girls walking around

There is also a new place called Paseo down the street of Old Town.

You'll enjoy your stay there.

danny~!
 
I forgot to mention that there are a lot of great night clubs / bars / pool halls in Old Town. I frequent Q's and Jake's whenever I go and play some pool. On Thursdays @ Q's its asain night, so if your into that there you go.

danny~!
 
I grew up in Pasadena! On E. Mountain St. and Altadena. Great place! If you only have one night and are 20 y.o., then just go to Old Town and walk around.
 
I'm in Pasadena, CA as I write this. Here on business until Thursday. Staying at the Marriot Courtyard on Fair Oaks.

Agreed. I've been to both in the past year and they're great places to visit. The gardens are great, too, you can just walk around and relax (they've got everything from a desert garden to japanese garden). If you're interested in history, they've got a great collection of manuscripts as well (these things are beautiful; the type of stuff that monks handwrote centuries ago, plus more modern items from, for example, the Civil War era of US history). They also have some art, but I wasn't as impressed with their art as I was with the Norton Simon's (which, BTW, has The Thinker sculpture outside).

Just to let you know, it'll probably be burning hot, so be prepared.

Even funnier is the fact that I might be staying at the same place. I hope I don't get your bed. Eww.
