A Los Angeles institution since 1934 and still one of the best places to eat in the city. The Original Farmers Market at 3rd and Fairfax is an open-air marketplace with over 100 vendors selling everything from fresh produce and artisan cheeses to gourmet prepared foods and handmade gifts. The food stalls are legendary — Magee's House of Nuts has been roasting nuts since the market opened, Du-par's serves the best pancakes in LA, Loteria Grill does incredible Mexican food, and Singapore's Banana Leaf brings Southeast Asian flavors that transport you across the Pacific. The market connects to The Grove shopping center but feels like a completely different world — old-school, authentic, and unpretentious. Grab a coffee at Bob's Coffee & Doughnuts, pick up fresh flowers, and people-watch at the communal tables in the center. The clock tower is the heart of the market and a perfect meeting spot. Free parking for the first hour with validation. Open seven days a week, rain or shine, since FDR was president. This is real LA.</p>
