The Original Farmers Market

Back in 1934, local farmers began selling produce at the corner of 3rd and Fairfax, a corner that has come to be known as the Original Farmers Market and a prime Grove-adjacent dining hall. A handful of stalls still sell fresh produce and other groceries, but these days they're easily outnumbered by restaurant stands offering a culinary trip around the world. Newcomers like biangbiangmian specialist Noodle Art, Polish grab-and-go Stara Pierogi & Sausage and full-service Mediterranean spot Savta have kept this L.A. classic thrumming with novelty, but you also can't beat the American comfort food served at the historic Du-Par’s, which has served pancakes since 1938 and the cheap, cash-only noodle dishes at Singapore’s Banana Leaf. Make sure to stop by Magee's for some of the best roasted nuts in town.
