Porta Via Italian Foods, Pasadena, CA USA

I had driven by their location a million times, so when we discovered it on Google Maps during our search for delicious local lunch I knew we had to go there. Located in a bit of a no man’s land area, adjacent to some plastic surgeons and antique shops, we thankfully had URB-Es to ride […]

La Luce Café and Deli… I suppose you could best describe it as unassuming. Its location matched its […]

Halfway through the day, Daniel and I caught ourselves needing an injection of energy. With the food venues at the convention center closed, […]
