We like freebies and we LOVE Farmers Markets, especially the really big ones that are open year-round, every day. The Original L.A. Farmers Market in West Hollywood at Third & Fairfax is gearing up for its 75th anniversary. And on Thursday July 16th, an all day birthday bash will take place. Part of the celebration will include an enormous birthday cake and free cupcakes for attendees.
Athletic-Minded Traveler recommends Farmers Markets (along with cafes, restaurants, grocers, etc.) in all of our covered destinations. Farmers Markets present the opportunity to experience a city on a much more local level and sample some tasty prepared food in addition to the fresh fruit and veggies.
In San Diego, The Hillcrest Farmers Market (Sundays), sells terrific salsas, chicken kebabs, gourmet salads and some really cool jewelry, bags and leather goods.
San Francisco's Ferry Plaza Market is another favorite along with Cleveland's West Side Market , Toronto's Kensington Market , Portland Oregon's Market, and Philadelphia's Reading Terminal Market.
