L.A.'s Newest Farmers' Market: The Autry in Griffith Park

Support Provided By

Popular culture makes it seem as though Angelenos only get truly excited about a club opening. But we think that, in truth, it's a new farmers' market that really gets our collective engine going. This past Saturday saw the debut of one such market, in the parking lot of the Autry National Center in Griffith Park. Vendors already signed up for a stint were selling products ranging from honey to kale, cheese to berries, daikon to pastries. Food trucks also run the length of the market, and the museum's cafe will be open for brunch and mimosas. This is something of an elegant affair, and we're wondering: does the famed Hollywood Farmers' Market have some competition? Check out our photos, by the talented R.E., and tell us what you think.

Lions and Tigers and Cameras! How the Movies Gave Los Angeles a Zoo

The early days of the movies in Los Angeles inadvertently allowed visitors to experience the largest collection of animals in the western United States. When animals weren't appearing in a movie, they were rented out to other film companies, performed for studio visitors, or in the case of filmmaker William Selig's collection — an opportunity to create one of Los Angeles' first zoos.
