RECOMMENDED: The best farmers' markets in LA
Take a break from dodging tourists and faux superheroes by paying the Hollywood Farmers' Market a visit (held every Sunday from 8am to 1pm). As one of the first farmers' markets to pop up in California, the strip of vendors that stretches along Ivar Boulevard has grown to 160 farmers, producers and artisans, and also serves as a venue for live music, book signing and mouth-watering chef demonstrations. Stock up on California-grown avocados, dates, honey, free-range poultry—or head to the nearby The Farmers Kitchen, where pumpkin quesadillas and brie and fig sandwiches are made with ingredients straight from the vendors.
