"Opened in 1917 in the Beaux-Arts Homer Laughlin Building and once billed as the largest public market on the Pacific Coast, Grand Central Market’s roughly 40 stalls reflect Los Angeles’s layered immigrant food culture, where long-established counters like China Cafe sit alongside newcomers like Eggslut. I sample everything from a grass-fed cheeseburger at For the Win to a fresh strawberry doughnut from The Donut Man and enjoy monthly mariachi performances and family craft days that keep the market lively for all ages." - Wendy Pramik
