Located in the downtown district of Los Angeles, Grand Central Market is known as one of the city’s historic landmarks. The sprawling marketplace features more than 40 food and drink vendors, and is a great place to sample the food of up-and-coming stars from LA’s culinary scene.

That depends. Food tours typically visit a few Grand Central Market eateries and offer tastings that represent LA’s melting pot cuisine. Architecture and history tours focus on the Grand Central Market’s living heritage and typically stop at other downtown LA icons, including the Bradbury Building.

There’s a parking lot located at South Hill Street, but it’s not free. Visitors pay US$5.50 for the first 1.5 hours and US$2 for each additional 15 minutes. If you can, come by the LA Metro. Take the A/E line to the Historic Broadway Station or the B/D to Pershing Square Station.

Yes, despite being more than a century old, Grand Central Market is accessible to shoppers using wheelchairs or with limited mobility. There are elevators to help you move smoothly between floors, and the marketplace is equipped with wheelchair-accessible restrooms. Just be prepared for cramped lanes between food vendors, and plan accordingly.
