What a fun event this was! I live in LA County but hadn't been to the Farmer's Market since I was a child, so it was a treat to see the remodel that was done a few years back. Oh sure, I could have gone there on my own to see it, but taking the Melting Pot Tour was the much better way to go. I learned about its history, got insider information on some of the shops there, and ate lots of tasty free samples that our tour guide had pre-arranged for our convenience and enjoyment. Then we walked down 3rd Street to visit a cookbook store and a few other places, including a local perfumery where we "sampled" perfume fragrances. My ex-sister-in-law, who was visiting from Australia, just loved the entire experience as it was a great way for us to visit, as well as meet other people. I highly recommend this tour if you love L.A. and love to eat.
What a fun way to spend a Saturday morning! You'll learn about amazing vendors, hear fun stories and eat a ton (come hungry!) I highly recommend to both L.A. natives and visitors looking to learn more about the "melting pot" of L.A. culture and food.
If you want to try something new in LA this is it. This is the best way to get to know LA's Farmers Market and 3rd street shops and restaurants. Diane knows loads about restaurants, cooking, shops and history on LA's Farmers Market. I absolutely loved it and would recommend it to everyone.
