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)

Magic Nut and Candy Company
A world-wide selection of nuts occupies the counters here. So do exotic treats of all kinds: candied fruits in so many varieties that it’s difficult to keep track, wonderful candies and flavored popcorns. They’ll box it for you, ship it for you or just hand it over so you can start enjoying it all right away.

L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook
By JoAnn Cianciulli
Photographs by Karl Petzke
From its humble beginnings in 1934, L.A.'s Original Farmers Market has become one of the leading destinations in Southern California. And this comprehensive cookbook celebrates the food, people, and history of this Los Angeles landmark. Mexican, Brazilian, Middle Eastern, and old-fashioned American diner fare are all here, among many others. Readers can re-create more than 75 stand-in-line classics like Chilaquiles Verdes from ¡Lotería! Grill, Falafel Sandwiches from Moishe's, and finish up with decadent Chocolate Fudge from Littlejohn's English Toffee House. Vivid photographs and rare archival images bring the Market to life.
7 x 9-1/4 in; 272 pp ; 85 color photographs
JoAnn Cianciulli is a well-known food writer and culinary producer who has been enjoying the Farmers Market for over a decade. Karl Petzke is a San Francisco-based photographer.
