A better place to go is "Nepal - Tibet house" in Pasadena - it is in what is referred to as "old town" Pasadena (I think the closest cross street is Holly and Colorado but you should be able to find it on the Web). As far as Huntington Beach is concerned--that's in Orange County (Yeah "The O.C"!!) and if the weather holds, then of course hit the beach...Huntington also has a nice boardwalk and some small private art galleries etc...it really depends on what you're interested in- in either case, because it is L.A, you have to be prepared to drive quite a distance (especially from O.C to Pasadena--that alone should be about a 45 - 60 minute commute!!)
