Shopping

Here are a few places for a nice afternoon of retail therapy.

Atlantic Times Square

This Monterey Park fixture offers a variety of Asian food and shopping around an AMC theater. Unusually high concentration of Japanese shops in the SGV.

Claremont Village

Possibly the most charming downtown in SoCal, Claremont boasts quaint shops with 1950s brick storefronts, as well as a refurbed orange packing house filled with upscale restaurants and fun boutiques. 

San Gabriel Square

This sprawling 12-acre, 220,000-square-foot multi-level mega-mall will make you feel you’ve been transported suddenly to China, with shops and restaurants galore.

Rose Bowl Flea Market

On the second Sunday of each month, the Rose Bowl hosts one of the most well attended, vendor-profitable flea markets in the entire country.

Malls with a Difference

The Westfield Group has breathed new life into two shopping centers in the San Gabriel Valley. In addition to the usual retail chains, each has a grown a special character.

West Covina Mall

Plaza West Covina is a great place to take kids. It boasts a trampoline park, an actual arcade (with an olde-timey shooting gallery), and sometimes even a circus!

Santa Anita Mall

Westfield Santa Anita in Arcadia is upscale (fitting, given its elegant neighborhood). But what really sets the Arcadia mall apart is its  variety of Chinese restaurants - casual takeout, sitdown, and iconic chains like Din Tai Fung. Some say that Westfield Santa Anita is the perfect place for the uninitiated to start learning about Chinese cuisine - how many mainstream malls can claim that?
