"Open since 1934, The Original Farmers Market in Beverly Grove is one of LA’s most recognizable landmarks, but if you write off this historic market as a tourist trap, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Sure, there will be plenty of out-of-towners taking photos of The Grove’s trolley, but the fact remains this place is stacked with tremendous vendors. This isn’t a conventional farmers market with locally-grown produce (it’s essentially an outdoor food court), but there are plenty of iconic stalls to try, like Bennett’s Ice Cream, Bob’s Doughnuts, and Magee’s. Tip: Head there before 10am for zero crowds. Open daily, 9am-9pm." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder
