My boyfriend and I went over on the second Saturday to check things out. Cost of entry is $5 and there were a handful of food trucks including the Beached Pig which Grohl is involved with, plus Wonderlust for ice cream, Japanese food, Lobster, pizza and drink stands. There was a DJ and although the square footage was small, they did their best to accommodate with benches and seating. We only ate at the Beached Pig to support Dave. We got two sets of Brisket tacos for $10 and a $10 Pulled pork sandwich which came with a pickle and chips. Water bottles $2 each. The line was long in the hot sun but so worth it and sat at a cool bench to eat. Thank you so much for bringing Valley Urban Market to Studio City! We hope it will grow into something really great!!

We arrive around 9:30 and we were the only people there besides one other couple. Over time, we had a looooooong line behind us. By the time they opened up at 10am, there were a lot of people in line. Entry is $5. We headed straight to Burt's booth since we knew everyone else in line would follow as soon as they entered. The food was great. Definitely worth the trip. The other booths looked okay too but were a little slow to open. It's too bad that this weekend was Burt's last time at VūM but the other trucks looked good too!

Hubs dragged me out of our room around 10am to visit this Farmers Market that was very close to our…read morehotel. I guess I was still on EST so kinda agreeable. We were literally overwhelmed with so many vendors & their delicious samples. What a serendipitous find! Seriously, after two hours of walking around & tasting the samples offered, my belly was quite full. But we definitely wanted to spend some money with these vendors! As we'd planned to travel on a train the next day, we had to choose things that didn't need continuous refrigeration, &/or we could eat before we'd have a fridge again the following night. Smart choices or not, I enjoyed every single thing we bought. Supporting local while traveling is always rewarding, and having healthier snacks was a bonus (IG tags noted): - Wildflower honey in a squirt bear bottle from Martinez Apiaries @MartinezApiariesCo - Mixed berry honey from Honey Pacifica @HoneyPacifica - Loaded Hummus, Beetroot Taziki & Spinach Pita Bread from Natural Combo @NaturalCombo - Bag of plain bagel bites from Lox of Bagels in Torrance, CA - small block of FenuGreek cheese from Vintage Cheese Company @VintageCheeseConpany - Walnut honey butter from Avila & Sons Farms @AvilaAndSonsFarms Special shout out to The Crazy Cucumber for making me realize FRESH sweet pickles are actually amazing: @thecrazycucumber_west. Also, I bought a pair of blue stone stud earrings from @taifjewelry for $20. Very unique, and such a great price! And I don't want to omit tagging the Hollywood Farmers Market's IG too: @thehfm. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit here!

I went with a couple of friends for dinner- we were around the area and thought it was an opportune time to show them a place they weren't familiar with! I've been here since I was a kid, and though some things changed, alot hasn't! This was during a world cup game, so it was very lively at pub areas as they were broadcasting live. Everyone was so invested, from the patrons, chefs, servers, and even line cooks! Went to a stall selling the 'best corned beef sandwich' from Magee's kitchen. The servers and cook were super nice and the corned beef on display made my mouth water! It was very good, and paired with their blood orange soda, wasn't too heavy! It was a big enough sandwich that I took the other half home! I also got a cornbread muffin from Gumbo pot- which was good but a little dry. There's plenty of shade, though the area is mostly outdoors- lots of trees and buildings with covers and awnings. There's a fancy French market in there and plenty of eating options (though open hours vary). Come by this historic stop, walk through the Grove, and enjoy the hustle and bustle!

A great experience for locals and tourists alike. Location 4 stars: In the Fairfax District area of Los Angeles, to the West of the Grove. It has busy parking lot which is usually quite full. Although some restaurants will validate part of the parking fees, be prepared to pay somewhere between $10 and $56 depending on how long you stay and which stores you visit. Make sure you check the parking rates sign by the entrance and plan accordingly. You can also park in the Grove's multi-story parking structure, but they will not accept validation from Farmer's Market businesses. The Grove also has Valet parking on premises. Venue 4 stars: Nice rustic but well-kept open air set up that has been around for almost 100 years! It is focused on local and international food. As you stroll through the market you will encounter gourmet food stores (such as Monsieur Marcel Gourmet Store), meat counters (such as Huntington Meats), takeout restaurants (such as Stara Polish Pierogi and Sausage, Banana Leaf Singaporean restaurant and Oh My Dumpling Chinese food), and fine dining restaurants (such as ETTORE OSTERIA Italian and Monsieur Marcel French Bistro). Once you are on premises you can use the Grove trolly to visit the (attached) Grove complex.

Small farmers market with about 20 stalls with various seasonal fruits and vegetables, there are…read moremany farms represented and there are also stalls with fish or nuts, and one stall I saw had one generation volunteers with bagel packs for a dollar. Most of the items included a substantial "farmer's market premium", so it doesn't seem to be the sort of farmer's market where you're getting a bulk product for a better price by cutting out the middlemen. We paid $10 for a small container of honey, and another $10 for a few oranges. Then $16 for tacos, and $1 for bagels. Saw some poke for ~$34/lb which is also rather steep. There were also two stalls with food--fish tacos and also another stand with tamales.

Well, it's still bustling with vendors proudly showcasing their goods. Fresh grown produces straight from the farm. Farm to table to be exact. They also have a section where it's certified organic. Loads of fresh produce, fruits, veggie, eggs, pastries and so on. It does seem like they have a lot more food vendors compared to when I was last there. Also, more crafts and good as well. They have a section for that. Everything looked amazing and the colors of fresh fruits and veggies were great. There was only one vendor that sell fresh flowers. It's still busy as it alway has been. Pricewise, it's good.

I mean it's a beautiful, expensive, California grocery store. Everything is perfect inside. There…read moreare no carts, you can be handed a basket if you need one and the aisles are very narrow in comparison to other grocery stores. Like these are one way aisles pretty much unless you are a California size -1. I'm old fat and cranky so parking is the biggest concern of mine and I actually googled which is the Erewhon with the least hassle free parking and this one came up and it's true. There is 90 minute free parking and it's not exactly simple. You have to get a ticket and then you may be double parking someone inside and you have to give some people your keys so if they have to move your car you can't they can. They held onto my keys but did not move my car so I didn't tip them. I wasn't expecting to tip when I went to a grocery store. There's more than one business in the plaza so I think they're employed by them so just be prepared with that and have cash on hand. I did not get the Hailey Bieber smoothie although I was tempted. I've heard mixed reviews and I know it's very expensive and I did not want to spend that kind of money on a smoothie. I didn't like. I did end up getting a bottled peanut butter smoothie and that one cost $14 and it was really delicious. It tasted healthy, but it was really good. I also got some vanilla chai crisps that are in the back corner by the freezer section and those are delicious as well. Those were $6.99 for a bag and honestly, I thought that was reasonable. I did get a strawberry cream dessert. It's all natural and I think vegan or something or other. I don't know. It was really good, from the few bites I had I was going to save it and it melted in my car so hopefully it will taste good tomorrow even if it's not in the shape originally was. I also got some Keylime and Meyer lemon tarts. I tried the lemon one they should be refrigerated which I did not know until I tried to eat them. The lemon one was good. I have not tried the lime one yet. I ended up spending $44 on five items. I just went there to say I've gone there. Would I go there regularly if there was one available to me probably not but I would go occasionally. It just seems now that it's a lot of content creators or people who want to see content creators, or people we're just going there is a tourist. I can't imagine anyone doing their weekly shopping here.

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY: Free parking for 90 minutes (good), Fantastic organic fruits /…read moreveggies and health/beauty selection are great, (good) yummy fresh juices (good), INSANE (not in a good way) store and parking design (bad). The prices are more than a bit over-the-top (ugly). Whoever designed this store deserves a smack-down. The aisles are so small you have to shimmy past people. And if you are shopping with a cart, good luck to you. Legit the most baffling design choices I've ever seen. This is an example of design that actually effects the shopping experience in a BAD WAY. Total head scratcher. Whoever designed the parking lot for the entire complex is an absolute idiot. If you need to get your cart to your car, there are several issues depending on what area you park in. First up, upon exiting the store there is a curb with no visible ramp so you have to cart-jump the curb to get down to the street level to your car. Then there is a raised planter between parking and the store so that if you are on the other side of it, you have to cart-jump the curb again. Seriously? Total failure in design on both the store and the parking. But hey - 90 minutes free parking so that's a plus. $16 for a smoothie is a little excessive for sure. Was it good? Yes. That said, while I'm happy to pay more for a great selection of organic fruits and veggies, the smoothies aren't that different from one I could make at home or get somewhere else of the same quality but for less. So if you are on a budget or just resent paying $16 for a smoothie on principal, I suggest focusing on your favorite, good stuff at Erewhon which for me is the fruits / vegetables and their outstanding selection of health / beauty products and their prepared food. from the beauty section, I got something called EVERYTHNG OIL based on the recommendation of one of the staff and it is a GREAT product -- truly my skin is transformed -- well worth the $. I also discovered a yoghurt there that I love -- Painterland Sisters -- but I now buy it at Sprouts as it is cheaper there. The prepared food selection is great! Vegan dessert selection - hallelujah! And I'm a big fan of all their vegan options actually - great stuff. I like that they give you a credit for every glass bottle you bring back -- not a small one either. $2 for each bottle! That brings down the cost of those fresh juices I love so I'll take it!! :) So spend some time finding your favorite stuff - this is a place to pick up a couple of things -- not do ALL your grocery shopping. First of all, you don't want a cart in this place -- too hard to navigate. But also, a full shop at Erewhon is 3 times what any other store would cost. But they do have some very excellent products so worth it for those things IMHO but not for EVERYTHING. Also, try to choose a time to go when it's not packed. the store is claustrophobic when full.

I've been on this little farmers market vibe after visiting the one in Granada Hills (reviewed)…read more The Sherman Oaks Farmers Market seemed a little more legit like the farmers markets I'm used to with vendors selling produce, fruits and organic foods. The market was small but packed with a little bit of everything. It's located in the back of the Westfield Fashion Square in the parking lot. I was in a rush after work because apparently I didn't realize it only goes from 2pm-6pm on Tuesdays. So, I rushed out the house at 5:20pm with my mom and made it just in time to fly through it in about 20 mins. Next time I'll spend a little more time hanging out and getting a closer look at some of the stuff I wanted to purchase. My mom picked up a few things like some honey and some fudge. I don't know if a lot of people attend because of the hours but my only suggestion would be, since it's on a Tuesday, extend the hours a little so people who work and get off at 5pm have enough time to get there and check it out during peak traffic hours. OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros
