A great place for a milkshake

Amy Scattergood of the Los Angeles Times picked the places in the region to have a milkshake. One of them is the Fair Oaks Pharmacy, which is on an alignment of Route 66 in South Pasadena.

Here's what she said about the Fair Oaks:

Fair Oaks Pharmacy. On the old Route 66 in South Pasadena, you can find one of the few soda fountains that's actually inside a working pharmacy. Which is handy, if your craving for a malted happens to coincide with a need to fill a prescription or pick up a roll of film. With 15 ice cream flavors from which to choose, terrific retro malts and Cole Porter tunes playing, you'll be happy sipping your shake from an old-fashioned fluted glass with whipped cream and, if you order chocolate, swirls of syrup around the inside. 1526 Mission St., South Pasadena; (626) 799-1414, https://www.fairoakspharmacy.net . Shakes, $4.60.

If $4.60 sounds like a lot for a milkshake, trust me — it's worth it at the Fair Oaks.
