Fancy pants vegan restaurant. They have Kombucha on tap! One block from the Center Theater Group (Ahmanson, Mark Taper and Dorothy Chandler Theaters) this is my favorite place to go before a show. They have a back room with Jazz a few nights a week too!

Entertainment & Activities
Women-only Korean Spa. If you like to relax and visit spas, you absolutely must try a Korean Spa. In my opinion, Korean Spas are the best. Total cleanliness is ensured because it is mandatory nudity so no bathing suit chemicals are in the pools. You get a locker, robe, towel and everyone showers before using the facilities. The mugwort tea jacuzzi and herbal steam sauna are my favorites. Get yourself some unique LA-Korean culture and spend an afternoon here. It's my favorite spot in town!

If you are a movie lover, iPic is heaven on earth. Huge recliner chairs with your own pillow and blanket. Full menu served in the theater with a personal waiter. Popcorn included in the ticket price. The sexiest most comfortable theater I've ever been to. Expensive and worth the price. Get there early to stroll around Pasadena. Great shopping surrounds it.

This improv comedy theater was co-founded by Amy Poehler and their shows are hilarious! Most shows are only $5, get there early to make sure you get in as they over book, and be sure to make a reservation online. Great restaurants on either side too! Second location on Sunset, equally good shows!

This place is AMAZING! There are 41 gibbons there that have been rescued. It is magic to see how they move and eat and swing around. And if you're lucky they'll start singing!! Highly recommend it if you've got a car. Tours Sunday mornings at 10am, $15/adult, but they often have Groupons!
