To The Farmers Market We Go

Yesterday we trekked out to the LA Farmers Market for fun and adventure before today's surgery to put in my chemo port. For the unfamiliar, the LA Farmers Market is a cultural landmark in LA. Unlike the temporary farmers markets that spring up in various cities on given mornings, the LA Farmers Market is a series of permanent stalls adjacent to The Grove off of Fairfax.

While it is ironic that I'm writing about food on a day I am fasting (as required for surgery), if you are looking for a fun foodie experience in LA, this is the place. While there is a fruit and vegetable stall, this farmers market has multiple stalls to buy meats, as well as a charming french market and food and gift stalls galore. While there is both a Starbucks and a Coffee Bean at this location, for a unique coffee experience I would encourage you to try The Gumbo Pot who serves a delectable coffee with chickory. For food, my number one recommendation is The French Crepe Company who serve a wide range of both savory and sweet crepes to please everyone.

Luckily, for people like me who can't walk very far without getting exhausted, this market packs a lot of excitement into a small and contained space. It also features a lot of seating scattered throughout for whenever you need a rest break. Well, time to get ready to head to the hospital so wish me luck!
