[title]Everyone's favorite Downtown LA food hall just got better with the introduction of Summer Nights at Grand Central Market. Starting in June, GCM will keep its doors open until 10pm every night during the summer with plenty of free programming to fill up those extra hours.
Under ambient evening lighting, most of the market's vendors will remain open late, with some spots like Belcampo Meat Co., Knead & Co. Pasta Bar, DTLA Cheese and McConnell's Fine Ice Creams offering exclusive nighttime menu items. Various programs will occur throughout the week: weekday happy hours (Mon-Fri, 6-7pm), Trivia Tuesdays, Horse Thief Movie Wednesdays, Drag Queen Bingo on the first and third Thursday of the month, DJs on Fridays, bands on Saturdays and world music on Sundays.
