There are 2 movie multiplexes here, a lot of restaurants, bars, cafes, nightclubs, and shops. It would be nice if the city of Pasadena would consider closing Colorado Bl. All in all, it wouldn't be so popular if it wasn't a nice place to be. Take the 210 freway to Pasadena and exit on Fair Oaks. Head south to Colorado.
Parking is hard to come by, but look for one of the many pay lots in the area.
Pine Square, Long Beach is a fairly new development in downtown Long Beach with plenty of entertainment for everybody. A large shopping mall is just a block up on Pine Ave. The New England themed Shoreline Village shopping center is also nearby and is reached via a pedestrian bridg going south on Pine Ave. This area is centered around the intersection of Pine Avenue and Broadway in downtown Long Beach. We've also heard great reviews of Andiamo in the same block.
