Kenneth Village
Established in 1923, Kenneth Village is home to an eclectic collection of shops, eateries, and service providers along Kenneth Road in northwest Glendale. Its architecture dates back to the 1920s and preserves an old-town Mayberry-esque charm that has been the ideal scenic location for hundreds of movies, television shows, commercials, and advertisements.
While the Village maintains much of its historic charm, it is home to various shops and eateries that range from decades-old fixtures like Art's Meat Market and Deli and newer additions including Coffee Commissary, Yoga-urt, Tacos Los Desvelados, and Hang Loose Hawaiian Shave Ice.
