Original Farmers Market - the Farmers Market (website) was conceived when a dozen local farmers started parking their trucks on a field to sell their fresh produce to residents. Since then, the Farmers Market has retained its relaxed, open-air atmosphere and selection of fresh-from-the-farm goods, while becoming a world-class haven for gourmands, offering fare from nearly every region imaginable. The compact, maze-like space houses more than 70 stalls, stores, markets and cafes, some of which are nearly as old as the market itself. The Grove shopping district is directly adjacent.

West Third Street - It may not be as well known as Rodeo Drive or Melrose Avenue, but West Third Street holds its own when it comes to hip boutiques and topnotch eateries.

Koreatown

Koreatown Galleria - an indoor mall on three levels offering more than 70 shops and businesses, including the typical array of mall staples such as clothing, jewelry, and boutique shops as well as flowers, shoe repair, a large food court and more. The "anchor" of this mall is undoubtedly the Galleria Market, a grocery store where you can find all sorts of Korean goods. There is a parking structure with four levels of free parking. This mall is popular with locals, so it tends to be crowded on weekends.
