10 Things to do in Fairfax District That You Shouldn't Miss

July 5, 2021 Layne Dawes

Hollywood beckons to tourists who long for a brush with Tinseltown glamor. Tour movie studios, slip your hands into the famous prints at the TCL Chinese Theatre, or indulge in a celeb sighting at one of LA’s white-hot nightspots. Spot your favorite star while shopping at The Grove, or forget all about the famous eye candy as you take in the iconic artwork at The Getty Center. For a different type of star-gazing, peek through the telescopes at the Griffith Observatory.

The Groundlings Theatre

Melrose Avenue's Groundlings have been practicing their high-octane brand of anything-goes improvisation for nearly three decades. Audiences know the group for their wacky sketch comedy and lightning audience participation rounds, but for aspiring comedians and writers it's the Groundlings School that's the real draw. With courses in beginning and advanced improv, sketch and monologue comedy, the school has trained several generations of young wits. Its alumni includes a laundry list of "SNL"-ers (Phil Hartman, Julia Sweeney, Will Ferrell, Laraine Newman), Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson and Emmy-winning "Friends" star Lisa Kudrow. The theatre was also the home of Paul Reubens' early, raunchier version of "Pee-Wee's Playhouse." With pristine standards and a pool of hundreds of talented newcomers to draw from, the troupe offers some of the quickest, cleverest improv in town, cozily presented in their own 100-seat theater.

The Grove

Like a grown-up theme park, The Grove is cheerful, impressive-and stylish. Star sightings are likely amid water features and great eateries. Shop at DvF, Tesla, or a Nordstrom featuring new designers.

For a nice day out in LA, pop on over to the Grove. It has a variety of lovely stores, some amazing restaurants of all levels, a nice path to walk and plenty of parking. From Cheesecake Factory to my favorite Kitchen store, Sur La Table, a massive Apple store, Crate and Barrel and so much more there's something for everyone to find. It's a typical tourist spot - but also mixed with many locals who are after a contained area that has loads to offer. And right next door - attached actually is the world famous Farmer's Market. Now this is very popular with all the locals and still brings in the tourists. Everyone who visits LA wants to see some of the typical spots and this checks all the boxes. Over the years I have spotted the occasional well know actor which is always fun. I recommend a couple hours here at least, and it's always a great spot to return to for dinner. Particularly lovely on a warm night.

The Original Farmers Market

The Original Farmers Market has been Los Angeles’ favorite destination since 1934. With more than 100 old-world grocers, an eclectic array of shops and dozens of restaurants serving cuisine from around the globe in an al fresco setting, the Market is a beloved town square for locals and one of the city’s top tourist attractions. Known for its variety of cuisine, the Market offers something for every taste - American, Brazilian, Cajun, Chinese, French, Italian, Middle Eastern and more! Many of the businesses have been family-owned and operated for generations. Recently the Market had added a variety of artisan grocery and specialty food merchants this year including organic, seasonal produce, gourmet pickles, single origin coffee and more! The Market strictly adheres to all Los Angeles County Covid-19 protocols.

This is a beautiful and expansive Farmers Market in the heart of Los Angeles. The atmosphere is lively and it has a fine, positive vibe. One of our hop on hop off bus stops was in front of the market and we decided to get out and explore - and that turned out to be a good decision. This market has been in existence since 1934. There is quite a bunch of interesting vendor stalls and food options inside the area. I tried the coffee-in-a-waffle at the WaffleShot cafe, an excellent experience! They made an excellent latte and served it up in a waffle cone of choice, that was indeed one of the highlights for me. There were a wide range of food stalls serving up a variety of cuisines. Of the top of my head, I could remember seeing Mediterranean, Chinese, Japanese, Israeli, Mexican and Southern cuisine options to add to an assortment of sandwich shops, Coffee Shops, Waffles and Creperies. There was a good crowd at most of the places when we went, around midday on a Sunday afternoon. There are some exclusive shops selling fresh produce, fruits, nuts, honey and tea leaves. There are also some souvenir shops as well. Overall, this place is a must visit to capture a local Angeleno vibe. An lovely place to walk around, do some shopping, have some good variety of food or even simply watch the tide of people going by!
