What, if anything, can you tell me about Glendale or the surrounding area that might be of interest? I am a new resident.

Porto's Cuban Bakery in downtown Glendale for lunch or pastries. Crowded as hell on the weekends, though.

30 minutes from the Commerce. Take the 5 headed Santa Anna. 45 minutes from the Bike. Same as Commerce but switch to the 710 Long Beach.

I was born and raised in Glendale. Porto's as reccomended is fantastic. Also, you better get used to Armenian culture. You can start by eating some really good Armenian chicken at Zankou Chicken on Colorado.

There are no bars or clubs or nightlife worth mentioning in Glendale, so if you're looking for that stuff, you'll need to drive to Hollywood or Pasadena.

<----Pasadena. Zankou is good. Pasadena is much cooler than Glendale. But they do have "the Brand Boulevard of Cars".

I hate shopping malls, but the Glendale Galleria is one that I can tolerate. There's a tailor there that I like, Tailor Town.

There's a Costco in Atwater Village, right between Glendale and Los Feliz.

For bars, try the Red Lion in Silverlake, not far from Glendale.

Porto's and Zankou are on the list for the weekend. Thanks.

We went to the Galleria the other day and got some Boba. Man are those things fun to shoot. They're like blowgun paintballs. I need a good tailor. I'll check your guy out. Thanks.

A few years ago, the Red Lion was the [censored]. Never carded (not that it mattered to me, but that sorta attitude is nice), amusing bitchy bartendresses, and awesome beer. Then they changed ownership and it hasn't quite been the same since. It's still a good place, but no longer great.

You're making jealous and hungry. I love Zankou and the garlic sauce they serve. Also worth trying is Marouche which is in LA. Santa Monica and Edgemont, near Vermont.
