Los Angeles, CA Photo - Earl's Service, Gilmore Gas Station at The Farmers Market Located just South of CBS Television City in Los Angeles, California

The Farmers Market is an area of food stalls, sit-down eateries, prepared food vendors, and produce markets in Los Angeles, USA. It also a historic Los Angeles landmark and tourist attraction, first opened in July 1934. The Farmers Market features more than 100 restaurants, grocers and tourist shops, and is located just south of CBS Television City. Unlike most farmers' markets, which are held only at intervals, the Farmers' Market of Los Angeles is a permanent installation and is open seven days a week. The dozens of vendors serve many kinds of food - both American cuisine from local farmers and restaurants and Los Angeles' variety of local ethnic foods from the many immigrant communities of Los Angeles, with many Latin American and Asian cuisines well-represented.
