Map & Directions

We're just off the Arroyo Seco Parkway (Pasadena 110 Freeway), between South Pasadena, Highland Park, and downtown Los Angeles, in the "Hermon" district (sometimes known as "Happy Valley" for reasons unknown). See Local Parks & Points of Interest below.

Parking

There's ample curb-side street parking along Monterey Road and throughout the neighborhood (please, if arriving in the wee morning hours or late at night, be respectful of our neighbors by keeping the noise down and by not blocking driveways).

Directions from Highland Park Goldline Station

The Highland Park Goldline Station is one block north of North Figueroa St on Marmion Way, sandwiched between N. Avenue 59 and N. Avenue 57. We're just over 1 mile away (1.1 miles according to Google).

• take either of the station's exits and head southeast toward N Figueroa St (towards the row of shops)390 ft
• Turn left at N Figueroa St 0.2 mi
• Turn right at S Avenue 60 (at the CVS Pharmacy) 0.5 mi
• Turn right at Monterey Rd (at the 76 gas station) 0.3 mi

Directions from South Pasadena/Mission Goldline Station

South Pasadena's Mission St. Station is one of... no, its the most beautiful and quaint of all MTA's Metro stops. The station's the location of the weekly SoPas Farmer's Market (Thursday afternoons until 7) and the site of a small museum -- itself quirky in proudly boostering of South Pasadena's history as the site of Cawston's Ostrich Farm where visitors once enjoyed riding buggies pulled by... yup, ostriches. Go figure. Anyway...

Take the station's south platform exit onto El Centro St & Glendon Way (if you find yourself on Mission St. just walk around the short block past the French bistro and great nursery backing the train tracks).

This route is 2.1 miles (again according to Google).

• Head west on El Centro St toward Orange Grove Ave 0.4 mi
• Turn left at Indiana Ave 0.2 mi
• Turn right at Monterey Rd 0.3 mi
• Turn left to stay on Monterey Rd (this is a stupidly confusing and enormous intersection where the road crosses the Goldline tracks, involves a gazillion lights and crossing gates... good luck) 1.3 mi
