Richard Tyler DESIGNER AND SOUTH PASADENA RESIDENT
TAKE A WALK
"My favorite route is up Orange Grove Boulevard, nicknamed Millionaires' Row, with its Victorian, French, and Italian houses, then down Grand Ave., which runs along the Arroyo Seco."
BUYING SPREE
"I often take my wife, Lisa, and our son, Edward, to Julienne [2649 Mission St., San Marino; 626/441-2299; lunch for two $35], a food shop that serves breakfast and lunch. I recently bought turn-of-the-century dress forms for my new store in New York at Mark Jager Antiques [1040 Mission St.; 626/799-2640], which is nearby. We also look for books and games at the Dinosaur Farm [1510 Mission St.; 626/441-2767], a very sophisticated store for kids."
SALAD DAYS
"I'm trying to stay healthy, so I've become addicted to the Italian chopped salad at Wild Thyme Café & Bakery [805 S. Fair Oaks Ave.; 626/799-4169; lunch for two $20] and the pear-and-blue cheese salad at Firefly Bistro [1009 El Centro St.; 626/441-2443; lunch for two $40]."
DISAPPEARING ACT
"When my wife can't find me on the weekends, I am usually at Mediterraneo Home & Garden [979 E. Colorado Blvd.; 626/585-0777], where I spend hours looking for things such as cast-iron angels or marble wings from the 1800's."
