Grand Central Market is home of the world's cheapest produce. Ok maybe not, but this stuff is…read morepretty cheap - at least half price of what you would see at Ralphs or a major chain. But buyer beware - use it as fast as possible, as you never know when it'll go bad. I'd dig to the bottom of the crates and try to get the hardest / most unripe produce you could get. Most of the vendors give around the same deal on produce prices, so look around for what looks the best. ProTip: The guy you pay is sort of hidden deeper into the stand (toward the outside walls). it's inevitable that you'll look like a n00b the first time you shop here though. Example: 2 Pounds of Tomato for a dollar! Cash Only. Spend $10 at a booth to get parking validated.

It's a small farmer's market but I accidentally walked through it when I assumed I remembered how…read moreto get from my parking spot to Anime Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center. I accidentally side quested into here and it was a pleasant experience. Lots of fresh fruits and veggies from local sources, small indie businesses and artisans and lots of people walking their dogs. I went during the mid morning so it was getting hot, but the farmer's market was in the shade of some of the taller buildings which is nice. I got some delicious poke and ceviche that was packed with some ice and with all of the utensils. Vendor was super friendly and made some small talk regarding the convention and some anime series. Very rare to have small talk with a non normie, so that was refreshing! Got to enjoy all of our food after I got to the con and it wasn't decimated by security. Big plus! Also before I left, I got some mango sorbet with tajin to the side and it was a huge portion for $5 and very refreshing in the growing July heat. Next AX, if I park near this farmer's market, I'll do another walkthrough for sure!

Who else loves the Farmer's Market? This Farmer's Market is a lot smaller then "The Original…read moreFarmer's Market" in LA. There's several vendors out there, but again, LA is definitely lacking the produce that Bakersfield Farmer's Market has. It's nice to see all the food vendors since I love checking out all the delicious stands, but the point of coming to the Farmer's Market for me is the produce and fresh baked bread or organic items made by local vendors. This Farmer's Market is not as busy as the other one I recently visited; however, it is a lot smaller and literally on the street so maybe that's why it's not as busy. There's so many food options that it seems more like a food event then a Farmer's Market. I really do love that this one stays open til later since a lot of Farmer's Market are only open in the morning. It's good for the people who wake up late or don't like going out early mornings. Parking is pretty crazy, so good luck. If you live in the area then you're pretty lucky just to walk here. This Farmer's Market is pretty close to tons of businesses so it's accessible to a lot of people, it's just the parking that's crazy. I'm not a local, so if you locals have tips for us then that would be great! I definitely would love to come back to see if they offer other stuff. I happened to come late which is probably why there weren't any produce.

We originally started coming here because it's one of our go-to spots for gold jewelry, and I actually got one of my favorite necklaces here! Ever since then, it's become one of those places we genuinely enjoy walking around and exploring together. One thing I love most is the variety. They seriously have SO much to offer such as clothes, candy, snacks, quality boots and shoes, belts, hats, toys, massages, 14K gold jewelry, and tons of food vendors. You can grab everything from rotisserie chicken and giant pupusas to elotes and freshly made churros. I'm always a fan of places where you can shop and snack. The reason for today's visit was actually to help my grandmother find a shampoo from Mexico that she really wanted, and thankfully we ended up finding it at one of the vendors! While we were there, I obviously had to order a pupusa de chicharrón. For $6.50 and the size they give you, I honestly think it's a great deal. It came out super hot and fresh, the meat was flavorful, and it was so good I didn't even feel like it needed condiments. There was a small mix-up where we accidentally received someone else's order while another woman got ours, but everything got sorted out pretty quickly. They remade my food fast, and it still came out delicious. Considering how packed and busy this place gets, occasional mistakes are understandable. The only downside is definitely parking. There is a lot, but it fills up FAST, and street parking can be just as limited. Luckily, we got super lucky and found street parking right as someone was leaving, so we definitely scored there. Overall, I really enjoy the food, the atmosphere, and the overall vibes here. It's one of those places I always recommend when people ask where I get my gold jewelry from. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!
