Oh dear, I must disagree, NOBODY should go out to the San Gabriel Valley, ever, for anything!
Oh, dear me, Alas, by Jove. How else are you going to confirm my thesis that, just as New York has a neighborhood from every major city on the world, LA has a suburb of every major city on the world? Where else will you learn that all the Northern Chinese live in southern California and all the southern Chinese live in Northern California? Where else will you see the vast splendor of 500+ Asian bridal shops on one street(Las Tunas Blvd), or the plethora of Snakehead Chinese Buffet restaurants nearby? To bowdlerize Mark Volman and Frank Zappa,
Where can I go to get decent Basturma in Alhambra? Where can I go to buy Chinese New Year Good Luck Pieces in Rosemead? Where can I go to see the Doo-Dah parade in Pasadena? Where can I go to buy obscure soda pop in Eagle Rock?
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, all these questions and more can be answered by taking a cruise up Huntington Drive past the California Cookshack(best breakfast in South Pas) under the spreading Jackamundo trees as that brownish-orange haze stretches forth before you. San Gabriel Valley, Land Of Mystery.
