If you’re planning to explore Highland Park, a must-see stop is
GALCO'S. Originally an Italian grocery store, this 58 year old business, which is old for Southern California, sells brands of sodas and candies you figured haven’t been available since your granddad was a pup! Lunch is
available.
Huell Howser a Tennessee native who entered the hearts of California natives by introducing them to the wonders of their Golden State through his video visits. Click
HERE for a 60-second video highlight of his visit to Galco’s.
Hopping the Gold Line to visit Downtown LA’s restored Union Station? Feeling peckish? Check out Philippe The Original. Philippe’s, they also answer to Felipe’s, is one of the oldest and most colorful restaurants in Los Angeles. This is
the home of the French Dip Sandwich. Yeah, I know, but try the lamb sandwich anyway. Check out the photos

Café BIZOU Pasadena. Not gourmet, but good and very reasonable. 91 N. Raymond Avenue and Holly Street
On the list and rightly so is
MIJARES Mexican Restaurant, family-owned for 3 generations. Visit the one at 145 Palmetto Drive. It has three garden patios and lots of indoor dining. Some of my family is of Mexican descent and the young cousins go here often, especially for the margaritas,
if not for the mariachis.
SMITTY'S Grill is a popular hangout. The Pasadena cousins like it a lot, especially the bar, but the food gets good reviews too.
Yes, there is public art at the airports:
