What a great place to be among the people of Southern California. Fun choices for a casual meal in an historic setting that maintains a sense of mid-20th century life in LA. A refuge from the traffic and impersonal world outside. Very special.

a lot of fresh produce. There are a few butcher that are more than happy to help you decide what to get, how to cook it etc. The small restaurant/food counters are great if you are really hungry! We ate at the gumbo place (just ask anyone) and the portions where monster and the quality good value. I hear the... More

So much food to choose from - you have no idea what to do! I couldve walked all day and eaten everything in this amazing old school establishment

If you don't have better things to do, it can be fun to brave the tourists and see the Farmer's Market. It does have cool 40's architecture and some very good food stalls and fun shops (check out the political buttons and the mexican restaurant Loteria). I've never made it a habit to shop for food there because it's so... More

We had lunch at the market, I confess I expected more of the food, was not that great at all, but the mall right next to it is really beautiful. Very well decorated outdoor area, high end stores, perfect scenario in a beautiful sunny day.
