Sara's market is a charming neighborhood gem where friendly owners offer a diverse selection of local specialties, craft beers, and fresh snacks.
"Over in East LA, Sara’s is a family-run market selling everything from toiletries to funky natural wine. On the weekends, they host a slate of fantastic pop-ups as well. This weekend features cheesecake milkshakes from @eastsidecheesecakes, brunch courtesy of Something Good LA, and A.M. Smash, and Macetas, a house plant pop-up in case you’re in need of more green babies in your apartment. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"Popping up at various locations around Northeast LA, River Street is a tiny operation cranking out excellent Texas-inspired BBQ. We like their peppery brisket a lot, but the standout dish here is without question the pulled pork. Cooked in a simple salt and pepper rub and finished in an apple juice bath, it’s sweet, salty, and profoundly buttery, and is always the first thing cleared from our tray. Also, be sure to keep a lookout on their Instagram for whatever the daily special is, which can range from Tex-Mex tacos to hot chicken." - Brant Cox, Kat Hong, Arden Shore
