Every Sunday between 9AM-1PM, several main streets in Hollywood are blocked off for the weekly Farmer's Market.
We parked in the Arclight Parking lot (which is designated for this event), and then walked up to Sunset Boulevard where the market started - it was about 3 blocks in length.
Some of the booths included the typical farmer's market type fare (fresh fruit, vegetables, orchids/flowers, etc.), but there was also an assortment of less expected items. Fresh baked goods, an ice cream truck with gourmet ice cream (so good), a lobster stand, a bagel stand (I got an everything bagel with cream cheese for breakfast, and it was yummy!), a stand entirely comprised of different kinds of olives with fillings, hummus and pita, nuts and dried fruit, potted plants, herbs, and spices, jewelery, etc. The list goes on and on. One of the my favorite stands was owned by a woman who hand-crafted charming dolls out of fabric. On this particular day, many of the food trucks were also set up, as well as stands that served hot food.
The farmer's market was bustling, but not too crowded (we went around noon). The best part, to me, are the endless free samples of fresh goodies. Go! It's quite the pleasant Sunday activity.
SNEAKY TIP: We went into the Arclight and bought a couple things from the souvenir store, and then validated our parking, so it was only $2 or $3. But, it seemed easy enough to validate without having purchased anything.
