Charlie’s Coffee Shop
A great spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner. No matter what you order – the exquisite French Toast, a great sandwich, a cheeseburger so perfect it's a star on TV and in newspapers – expect to hear the gang behind the counter bellow your name when your order is ready. (Critic Favorite)

All'Antico Vinaio

Welcome to All’antico Vinaio, the legendary Florentine sandwich shop. Since 1991, the Mazzanti family has been passionately running the three Florence locations of All’antico Vinaio and has been drawing crowds of both Italians and tourists alike due to the exceptional ingredients and freshly baked Tuscan schiacciata bread. Considered one of the best street food experiences in the world, and considered by Saveur magazine “home of the world’s best sandwiches”, we welcome you to experience those very same ingredients and freshly baked bread at the first American outpost. Buon Appetito!

By David Hamlin and Brett Arena Since 1934, the Original Farmers Market at 3rd & Fairfax in Los Angeles has been at the center of the citys history, from the Great Depression to todays Great Recession. It has endured as one of LAs most treasured locations, drawing visitors not only from the city it helped mold but also millions of tourists from around the world.

With the help of hundreds of rare archival photos made available from the Farmers Market owner, the A. F. Gilmore Company, the authors trace the evolution of the property through a rich history that reads more like fiction than real history. 128 pages, paperback.
