Raymond & Union

God shines his light upon Pasadena. The city is my special interest but just as a starting rec the intersection of Union St and Raymond Ave is stacked beyond any reasonable measure.

Osawa - classic, extremely consistent sushi
Bone Kettle - delicious, upscale Indonesian
Union - best pasta east of the 101 imho
Blind Donkey - exceptional whiskey specializing pub
Thaim - fun, new school Thai
Paper Rice - like Chipotle for Vietnamese rice rolls. Incredible.
Tibet Nepal House - unreal Nepalese
Delight Pastry - extremely underrated pastry shop
dos besos - top five Spanish in the LA area if not higher

THIS IS A SINGLE INTERSECTION
