Favorite Friday: Fall at the Farmer's Market

The first day of fall is here! it's a beautiful 62 degrees outside (at 7:30 in the morning); and weather.com tells me we're looking forward to 10 days of that great weather where it's chilly one day and a high of 90 the next.

i LOVE this time of year, and it's even more exciting being here in LA for it!

To add to our Fall fun, The Original Farmer's Market in LA has a series called Tuesday's Best.


From their website:

Tuesday's Best - September 27, October 4 & 11!

Join us Tuesday evenings through October 11 from 5-9pm for an open house including cooking demonstrations, food sampling, great shopping and dining specials, live entertainment and more. Each week offers a new crop of demos, tastes and activities, so check back for an updated weekly schedule of activities. Plus, you get to park for free from 5-9pm (w/ purchase) while you enjoy the best of the Market.

Jayson and I went this past Tuesday, and it was fantastic! There were enough free tastings (only 4 or 5), that we were able to go to the great restaurant Little Spain and just eat a couple of tapas before we were stuffed! (by the way please go to Little Spain! really, really amazing food!)

AND the Farmer's Market already has pumpkins ready to come home with you! We wanted to go ahead and buy one (a little early, i know!); but completely forgot, as we were in a delicious food stupor.

It's also just lovely out there at night. :) After the Farmer's Market, it's just a pleasant treat to be able to walk along the twinkly light-lined streets of The Grove. You have to make sure to bring a jacket of course, and then it really feels like Fall!

If this isn't enough to draw you to The Farmer's Market for Fall, they also have this coming up:

Fall Festival 2011
Saturday & Sunday, October 15 & 16

In honor of the Fall harvest, the Farmers Market features a two day festival with live music, a kid-friendly petting zoo, Agventure Land activities, arts & crafts, world-famous pie-eating contests, and much more!

You're welcome! If you're in LA: have fun! If you're not in LA: i guess there's another reason to visit.
