the americana at brand

Nice place to walk around and do a bit of shopping and a bit of eating. They had a live band playing in the courtyard area. We had a good time there

Nice new outdoor mall, next to the older indoor Mall. Nice DinTaifung restaurant, as well other places to eat and shop. Nice central park.

Beautiful way to spend the afternoon. The fountain and shops were beautiful. I have been around the world but this was very different

The Americana at Brand has done a great job creating a place to visit when looking for something to do in Glendale. The property is a beautiful environment to hangout, shop and dine. The main plaza has a nice fountain with a hourly or twice an hour fountain show. Being next door to the Glendale Galleria also adds additional shopping an dining options.

It's kinda neat to visit, since I'm from the northeast seeing an out door type mall was new to me.. Nice fountains and grounds with the stores positioned around it etc

You better have on your walking shoes if you plan to spend much time here or the Galeria across the street. There is definitely something for everyone at these malls. I dropped my husband and boys off for a movie and had 3 wonderful hours of mall shopping. It was a mad house right before Christmas but fine to navigate alone. Christmas lights were beautiful!

A combination of stores (said to be "upscale") and restaurants in a park-like setting which includes a fountain with music. Rather phony. However, the large Barnes and Noble is sadly one of only a few remaining bookstores in Glendale.

Was my first outing in Glendale and kept going every weekend .. This place is gorgeous .. Don't miss the train :)

On a regular day the Americana is a great shopping area. Filled with great stores, unique food venues, a movie theatre and more. At Christmas the decorations are something to behold. A great place to just people watch and enjoy the decor. Lots of activities ongoing at The Americana. A must see if you are in the area.

Golden shining waterfalls, a green grass park, a red trolley car, these are just a few of the colors and excitement of the shopping destination known as The Americana at Brand. I am NOT an enthusiastic shopper and do not like to go to the local malls but the Americana is not just a mall. It is a destination. Men, women, children, and pets can wander on the streets of this shopping center, stop at a restaurant, go to the movies, or just sit at the edge of the fountain and people watch. Of course, shopping is what Americana offers best in Glendale. Urban Outfitters, Barnes and Noble, Kate Spade, Tiffany and Co, Anthropologie, Forever 21, Lululemon,Sur la Table,Sephora are but a few of the resident stores--oops, almost forgot the sleek new Nordstroms.Believe me, the Americana is a wonderful experience and being a Glendale resident, I wish to thank the Carusos for their foresight in revitalizing what was once a very sad corner of Glendale.

Went there on a date. Perfect evening weather, stroll around shops, several restaurants to chose from for eats, then after watch lighted music dance from the water fountain! Awesome!

Such a nice place to just stroll or sit and listen to the music and watch the fountain. Plenty of places to eat. A nice variety to choose from. It is alway clean and well maintained. A movie theater and lots of places to shop but you don't need to shop you can just come and relax. My grandsons love to ride the trolley, eat pizza and go to Barnes & Noble to buys books.It's wonderful in the afternoon and beautiful with the lights in the evening. Something for everyone. Well done Mr. Caruso.

The entire atmosphere is such an experience. The singing and light up fountain is beyond gorgeous. They also have a trolley you can ride that takes you around the place.

Stumbled on this our last night as we were looking for a place to eat at the Glendale Galleria. We asked for suggestions from someone at the mall and they told us to go outside the mall and walk down this street and there would be a Cheesecake Factory. As we were walking to the restaurant I noticed a bunch of lights and turned to look and and to my amazement saw this AMAZING area and started to walk towards it. OMG, what a beautiful area!! It is called the Americana at Brand. Literally a short walk from the Galleria mall, but it was like a park with a waterfall and restaurants and shops surrounding the park area. At night it was breath taking! There are lights across the street in front of the shops, (not for cars, for pedestrians only), even a huge chandelier. I have to say, it was one of the most beautiful shopping areas I have ever seen. You have the comfort of sitting and relaxing in a grassy area and the benefits of shopping and eating. You have to look at the images online as my description cannot do justice to what my eyes actually saw. Plain and simple, DON'T MISS THIS IF YOU ARE IN THAT AREA!

This is a nice area to stroll around with your family. There's plently of shopping but you don't feel compelled to shop. The grassy areas and the fountains are a nice place to gather and enjoy the outdoors.
