Like a grown-up theme park, The Grove is cheerful, impressive-and stylish. Star sightings are likely amid water features and great eateries. Shop at DvF, Tesla, or a Nordstrom featuring new designers.

For a nice day out in LA, pop on over to the Grove. It has a variety of lovely stores, some amazing restaurants of all levels, a nice path to walk and plenty of parking. From Cheesecake Factory to my favorite Kitchen store, Sur La Table, a massive Apple store, Crate and Barrel and so much more there's something for everyone to find. It's a typical tourist spot - but also mixed with many locals who are after a contained area that has loads to offer. And right next door - attached actually is the world famous Farmer's Market. Now this is very popular with all the locals and still brings in the tourists. Everyone who visits LA wants to see some of the typical spots and this checks all the boxes. Over the years I have spotted the occasional well know actor which is always fun. I recommend a couple hours here at least, and it's always a great spot to return to for dinner. Particularly lovely on a warm night.

Known for its variety of cuisine, the Market offers something for every taste - American, Brazilian, Cajun, Chinese, French, Italian, Middle Eastern and more! Many of the businesses have been family-owned and operated for generations. Recently the Market had added a variety of artisan grocery and specialty food merchants this year including organic, seasonal produce, gourmet pickles, single origin coffee and more! The Market strictly adheres to all Los Angeles County Covid-19 protocols.

This is a beautiful and expansive Farmers Market in the heart of Los Angeles. The atmosphere is lively and it has a fine, positive vibe. One of our hop on hop off bus stops was in front of the market and we decided to get out and explore - and that turned out to be a good decision. This market has been in existence since 1934. There is quite a bunch of interesting vendor stalls and food options inside the area. I tried the coffee-in-a-waffle at the WaffleShot cafe, an excellent experience! They made an excellent latte and served it up in a waffle cone of choice, that was indeed one of the highlights for me. There were a wide range of food stalls serving up a variety of cuisines. Of the top of my head, I could remember seeing Mediterranean, Chinese, Japanese, Israeli, Mexican and Southern cuisine options to add to an assortment of sandwich shops, Coffee Shops, Waffles and Creperies. There was a good crowd at most of the places when we went, around midday on a Sunday afternoon. There are some exclusive shops selling fresh produce, fruits, nuts, honey and tea leaves. There are also some souvenir shops as well. Overall, this place is a must visit to capture a local Angeleno vibe. An lovely place to walk around, do some shopping, have some good variety of food or even simply watch the tide of people going by!

This is a great spot for locals to shop every Sunday morning. The second oldest farmers market in LA County, I personally think it’s the best one bar none. Four full city blocks of fresh baked breads, an astounding array of organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, dairy and meat products, plus a wild array of crafts. Some of the best buskers as well playing everything from bluegrass to jazz. Great people watching. Great place to come for breakfast or lunch. A place where you get to know your farmer as well as your neighbors!

Our granddaughters love anything American Girl. We took them on our way to Legoland. The store is beautifully organized with a lot of displays at their level that they can actually touch. Of course, they brought their dolls, one of which was a little worse for wear. No worries, they were able to get all of the scratches off and make the baby doll look like new. The other doll had her hair done. My eight-year-old had fun designing her own tee-shirt. It is a very nice quality and has held up perfectly in the wash. We spent about two hours in the store and had a wonderful time together. We gave them a budget before we went in, so they had fun figuring out what they could buy. The girls were in "seventh heaven."
