"A historic market with a wide array of food stalls, grocers, and specialty shops." - Matthew Kang
"The Original Farmers Market is the most misunderstood place in LA. Yes, the outdoor market is attached to The Grove, an outdoor hell-mall filled with bumbling tourists riding fake trolleys and taking selfies in front of a fountain timed to “Uptown Funk.” Sure, on weekends, the market is nearly as packed as the Sahara Tent during a Kygo set. But there’s still real magic to be found at this 90-year-old maze of vendors that’s home to cheese shops, butchers, florists, and tons of excellent restaurant stalls." - brant cox
"A pared-down second location of a Monterey Park Xi’an specialist at the Original Farmers Market, offering many best-sellers from the flagship including two kinds of “hamburgers” and the famed “pita bread soaked in lamb soup.”" - Cathy Chaplin
"Located at Third and Fairfax in the Fairfax District, the bustling historic open-air market was established in 1934 when a dozen local farmers parked their trucks on an open field (once a dairy farm) to sell fresh produce to local residents, and "has remained true to its roots ever since." Over 75 years later the market remains the one-stop shop for visitors' needs. It has seen compelling newcomers this past year, including an Italian restaurant and a Chinese restaurant, and the French dip sandwich by Phil’s Deli & Grill is considered an Eater editor favorite. The market's iconic status, which emulates other public-market locations such as San Francisco’s Ferry Building and Napa’s Oxbow Public Market, was cited by a Northern California burger brand as the reason it was selected for that brand's first Southern California outlet, scheduled to open in fall 2025." - Matthew Kang
"A Sunday farmers market held in the harbor and open from November through April, noted as a lively local market to visit." - Zachary Rabinor
