Grand Central Market
About
Grand Central Market opened in 1917 on the ground floor of a historic building on Broadway, which makes it LA's oldest public market. Its thirty-odd stalls run from Mexican tacos and Salvadoran pupusas to Chinese, Thai, Texas BBQ and Eggslut's breakfast sandwiches: the whole city's mix in one room. Angels Flight is right across the street.
Jasmine says
A food hall open since 1917.
My usual:
breakfast at Eggslut,
tacos from a Mexican stall,
then across the street for Angels Flight.
Puts LA's many ethnic communities under one roof.
