Vintage downtown area manages to stay hip

Part of the charm of Downtown Pomona lies in its unassuming nature as a vintage destination. Antique Row stretches two blocks along 2nd Street, inviting visitors to peruse the past through multiple antique shops. It’s here on Antique Row that defines the neighborhood persona. Residents and visitors travel from near and far to pick out pricey — and sometimes priceless — antiques during the Collectors Street Faire, which is held on the last Saturday of January, March, May, September and November. Other regular downtown events include weekly Artwalks of the colorful murals that cover the city. And in the winter, holiday parades blanket the streets with cheerfulness. Although the neighborhood is known for the history it keeps, when it comes to lifestyle, Downtown Pomona’s residential community knows how to stay current. "It's a hipper neighborhood than people give it credit for,” says Fred Van Allen of First Team Real Estate, voted the No. 1 Realtor in Pomona. “There are some great coffee shops, many excellent restaurants and some solid nightlife options. Plus, the train station is right there, which is incredibly convenient."

Art is the focus but entertainment can happen anytime

Pomona residents don’t always have to wait for a special event to enjoy time in Downtown Pomona. In the Arts Colony off 3rd Street, visitors spend the day exploring art galleries before catching a show at the historic Fox Theater, which opened in the 1930s. The Glass House is also a popular concert venue in the area, where audience members sometimes have a chance to meet the band during a signing at the venue’s record store. For a quieter experience, residents head north for a peaceful afternoon at the American Museum of Ceramic Art, which offers artist workshops and introductory ceramics classes.

Fat cat sandwiches and stuffed cactus gain followers quickly

After a busy day out, residents with special dietary restrictions often head to Borreguitas for Mexican specialties with a vegan twist. Locals recommend trying the stuffed cactus entrée. While the restaurant isn’t entirely vegan and still offers meat and dairy products, there are more vegetarian and vegan options here than at most Mexican restaurants in the city. At the Mission Promenade, local joints like Fat Cat Sandwich Café offer a robust menu of hot and cold deli sandwiches, including the signature hot Fat Cat Sandwich with cheese and a choice of two types of meat.

Ooutdoor activities surround the downtown area

Residents heading over to Tony Cerda Park find the open lawn perfect for spreading out a picnic blanket and soaking up the California sunshine, find the park open year-round. With its colorful playground and kid-friendly climbing wall, the grounds come alive during the annual Ohlone Big Time Gathering even though it’s open year-round. The gathering is a meaningful tribal ceremony that includes dancing and traditional cuisine. Lasting three days, the festival brings together friends and family from all over the country to celebrate their heritage, illustrating the vibrant nature of California’s tribal communities. But meaningful parks are not the exception in Downtown Pomona, they’re the norm. At the petite Memorial Park, a dark granite memorial rises above the pavement. The obelisk often serves as the centerpiece for public memorial gatherings and local beautification projects, which also help bring the community together.
