Palate + Food + Wine: Tapas and Wine
GracesTrips Says: Well, this is a new restaurant in Glendale. Glendale has many ethnic restaurants so it seem like a nice addition to have an upscale restaurant with small plates and trendy atmosphere. What a disappointment! The food was extremely expensive for what you get. The food was just...
Tavern on Brand: Great Bar Environment and Decent Food
GracesTrips Says: Just happen to notice this place and stopped to have some lunch. Very nice bar set up and they have a no nonsense menu of basic items such as burgers, sandwiches and appetizers. But don't let the menu fool you, they really make up a nice plate of food. I ordered the mushroom...
Fresco Ristorante: Italian Cuisine
GracesTrips Says: We happen to be in the area and looked for a place to eat that served Italian cuisine. We thought we would check this one out. It appears to be a little more upscale than most but overall the food was about average. The restaurant appeared to be more of a night club...
The Toasted Bun Restaurant: Small Diner
GracesTrips Says: The diner is clean but the decor is old fashioned. The people who work the diner aren't dressed as your typical restaurant workers. The service isn't fast so have some patience. The food is so-so. Prices are reasonable.
Mandaloun Restaurant: Traditional Middle Eastern Cuisine
GracesTrips Says: This is a restaurant you want to dine at with a group of people and plan to eat later in the evening like 8pm-9pm. Make sure to have reservations. You sit at long tables with with various food items already placed on the table. Dinner along with entertainment is one price...
Porto's Bakery: Great Sandwiches and Sumptious Desserts
GracesTrips Says: There are two parts to this establishment. They have a gigantic bakery. The desserts are amazingly delicious. The other part is where you can have a sandwich. Almost a cuban sort of cuisine. They also have meat pies and fried plantain chips. This place is always busy but the...
GracesTrips Says: This restaurant is quite obscure being located next door to Porto's which is always packed. We tried it out and loved it! The restaurant is ran by Thai people. Having recently went to Thailand on vacation, the food was very reminiscent of what we had over there. The lunch...
Chuys: Good place to drink and relax!
joits Says: One of my favorite bars in Glendale is this Mexican bar called "Chuys". When I drink, I love to have something to eat, nothing heavy just something that goes well with a good pitcher of beer and that's why I love Mexican bars because you get chips and salsa which at a...
Glendale Galleria: Nice Shopping Experience
GracesTrips Says: This is a pretty big shopping mall. They have several stores such as Nordstroms, Macy's Abercrombie & Fitch, William Sonoma, Hugo Boss, Coach, Banana Republic, Everything but Water, Hot Topic, Lego, Target, Victoria Secret and Vans to name a few. On this particular visit, a...
Americana at Brand: Ultimate Shopping Experience
GracesTrips Says: Outdoor shopping center modeled after the Grove shopping area at 3rd and Fairfax. High end stores, stores not typical for most shopping malls and huge parking structure placed right next door to the Glendale Galleria! Lots! More than average

What makes Glendale stand out is that it is home to a signifcant number of Armenian persons-the largest population outside of Armenia itself. As you walk down Glendale streets, you may very likely hear "barev" as well as "hello". How interesting to have a place to where it would be common to hear and experience all that is Armenian and also not be far away from what's Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, Korean, Russian, etc. Several shops have bilingual English-Armenian postings. Personally, I like the curving shape of the Armenian alphabet. See what I mean in this movie poster pictured! Armenian culture is well promoted at the renowned Alex Theater, which hosts a good number of plays, musical acts from Armenia throughout the year. Another way to experience Armenian culture is to try the food- at a restaurant like Raffi's or try a common Middle Eastern or kebob(kabob) restaurant in teh city which will likely have Armenian influence.

Coyote attacks on humans are uncommon and rarely cause serious injuries, due to the relatively small size of the coyote. In the 30 years leading up to March 2006, at least 160 attacks occurred in the United States, mostly in the Los Angeles County area.[1] Since 1998 coyote attacks on humans have increased in the state of California. Data from USDA Wildlife Services, the California Department of Fish and Game, and other sources show that while 41 attacks occurred during the period of 1988–1997, 48 attacks were verified from 1998 through 2003. The majority of these incidents occurred in Southern California near the suburban-wildland interface.[2]

This isn't exactly "Off the Beaten Path" as it is located at Americana at Brand shopping center. But, it's not a restaurant so I kinda think it's something you have to keep your eye out for. Called the Crepemaker, the French would have a heart attack if they saw what we do with crepes here. You can get a pizza crepe, crepe with filet mignon, crepes florentine with egg and sweet crepes as well. They don't serve it like the French either. They fold it up into a triangle and hand it to you to eat without utencils. You can grab a paper plate and plasticware but it's not offered. I must say, the crepes were delicious and very filling. Make sure to try one if you're in the area!
Located at 699 Americana Way, Glendale, CA 91210 Across from Barnes & Noble.
Mon-Thurs 10am-10pm, Fri-Sat 10am-12am, Sun 10:30am-10pm

Favorite thing: With its congested Galleria as one of the most popular malls in the region, Glendale is a local favorite amongst Just outside of the Galleria there is downtown Glendale which has a long stretch of cultural and mindless fun along Brand Blvd. Check out the Glendale Exchange and Marketplace for main and commercial shopping. Along Brand, there are some unique boutiques as well.
