The Gumbo Pot
Simply perfect Cajun cooking has made this spot an all-time favorite for locals and visitors alike. The beignets are phenomenal (try them drizzled with chocolate!), the gumbo is fantastic, the po’boys are perfect. Be warned: when they tell you that the blackened dishes (fish, chicken, shrimp, even a meat loaf po’boy) are hot, they speak the truth. (Critic Favorite)

Los Angeles's Original Farmers Market

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. Authors David Hamlin and Brett Arena capture the Markets quirky beginnings, its enduring personality, popularity and eccentricities in a new book from Arcadia Publishings Image of America series. 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.
