For various reasons, today was the day selected to celebrate my business partner Robin's birthday. We always take each other to lunch to celebrate rather than give gifts. This year I chose to take her on a walking food tasting tour in Old Town Pasadena. Pasadena is a great town (you've heard of the Rose Parade?) full of lovely architecture with wonderful hidden courtyards and alleys along with many one-of-a-kind restaurants.
In no particular order, some of the places we stopped to do some tasting are shown here.
No explanation necessary.
Chinese fusion
Just a cool alley.
Yummy bakery.
I think they called this Opera Cake. Reminded you of a richer Tiramisu.
Chocolates. Really good chocolates.
I missed some pictures, like of the Mexican Torta Restaurant, the Gelato place, and the homemade soap place. It was a good day.

Well, what did you have to eat and what great stuff came home with you and Robin?
Hi Marilyn, I'm glad I was sitting down when I read this post....with pics...lol You're getting good at remembering to take the camera now AND to use it hey? lmao
The alley that you mention....I can see market stalls in it...you know like the small ones you see in old English movies? Would make a nice quaint old market I think.
You and Robin are both lucky to have such a wonder friend and business partner.
Hugs
