Plus, it was a favorite spot of Anthony Bourdain. You can’t get a better recommendation! July is National Hot Dog Month.

Time Out LA

West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnaval This is one of the largest Halloween street parties in the world, and there’s really no better place to be on October 31st. Sure, the crowd is huge (like, a half-million people huge) and a bit belligerent, but the amazing display of costumes and general merry-making spirit deem it at least a worthy stop, if not your main destination for the evening. There will be dancing, drinking and many impromptu costume contests. Even if you don’t plan on entering one, it’s best to still come dressed to the nines—no one likes a party pooper in jeans and a T-shirt. Find it along Santa Monica Boulevard, between Doheny Drive and La Cienega Boulevard.

Solar de Cahuenga: One of the best all natural coffee shops and cafes in the heart of Hollywood. Today I ordered the iced Spanish latte w oatmilk (amazing), the moist glutenfree blueberry pound cake (it did have lemon in it, so be aware incase you aren’t a fan of lemon), and the avocado toast with radishes and pick de gallo (ask for GF toast as it’s not on the menu) with breakfast potatoes. My only complaint was that the breakfast potatoes were too salty to eat. I would get fruit instead as my side. Another awesome thing..? The staff is a 10/10. Highly recommend this place which is friendly and provides many non-boring options!

Connect with the community, participate in trending discussions, and get inside tips about the area. Let’s dive into some of the hidden gems and verified local information that make Pasadena a standout destination.

Anonymous Insights on Pasadena's Best Kept Secrets

Pasadena is renowned for its historic architecture and vibrant cultural scene, but there are numerous other facets to explore thanks to anonymous insights shared by locals on Kikihub. For instance, many wouldn't know about the stunning beauty of the Arroyo Seco hiking area. Tucked away from the main tourist trails, it's a haven for nature lovers featuring scenic walking paths that lead to the iconic Colorado Street Bridge. If you're seeking a quieter and more intimate nature experience, this is the place to be.

Trending Discussions: Where to Dine and Drink in Pasadena

Trending discussions on Kikihub reveal that Pasadena’s culinary scene is bursting with undiscovered gems. Union in Old Pasadena is a favorite among food enthusiasts, offering an ever-changing menu of farm-to-table dishes that reflect California's diverse palate. Locals rave about their ricotta dumplings and blistered shishito peppers. For a hipster vibe, head to Intelligentsia Coffee on Colorado Blvd, where coffee aficionados can indulge in expertly brewed espressos and pour-overs.

If you're looking to unwind with a drink, the hidden gem Der Wolfskopf offers a unique German beer garden experience. Tucked away on Fair Oaks Avenue, its rustic ambiance and extensive beer list make it a favorite among locals. For a cozy speakeasy feel, The Blind Donkey is an anonymous recommendation you should not miss.

Community Insights: Events You Must Attend

Pasadena is a vibrant city with a calendar full of exciting community events. According to local information shared on Kikihub, the Pasadena Chalk Festival is a must-attend event. Held annually, it's the largest street art festival in the world, where artists from all over gather to create stunning chalk masterpieces.

Local Recommendations for First-Time Visitors

If it’s your first time in Pasadena, local recommendations on Kikihub can make your visit truly special. One tip that pops up frequently is to visit the Norton Simon Museum. While the more famous Huntington Library gets a lot of attention, the Norton Simon offers an equally breathtaking collection of European art, including works by Van Gogh and Picasso, in a less crowded environment.

Another travel recommendation is to take a leisurely stroll down Pasadena's Alley Walk. These historic walkways are lined with boutique shops, quaint coffee stands, and antique stores, offering a unique shopping experience away from the usual tourist spots.

This historic landmark, which dates back to the 19th century, provides a fascinating glimpse into Pasadena's architectural heritage and is frequently highlighted in anonymous insights shared by locals.

For those who prefer public transportation, the Metro Gold Line is another travel recommendation you’ll find frequently discussed. It offers convenient access to both Pasadena and downtown Los Angeles, making it easy to explore the wider area without the need for a car. Local enthusiasts also suggest renting a bike and exploring the city’s extensive network of bike paths, particularly around the Pasadena Rose Bowl.

Expert Tips: Making the Most of Your Pasadena Visit

One of the best ways to maximize your Pasadena experience is by utilizing expert tips from Kikihub. When it comes to accommodations, the Langham Huntington ranks high in local recommendations.
