Nice location with many great food options from sandwiches, desserts, and drinks. Pretty busy throughout the day. Tried Cheeseburger Single which was really good from EggSlut. Reasonable price food. Parking garage is $5 for the first 90 minutes.

I found out about this area due to visiting Eggslut. We looked around & caught all of the other food spots you can order from. Due to that, I saw The Donut Man to the side corner of Eggslut. After having Eggslut, I convinced to make room for The Donut Man. Both were satisfying & we made laps to see what else this spot had to offer. They offer more than a lot: pasta, bratwurst, tacos, burgers, sandwiches, etc. Whenever you struggle to figure out what you have a taste for, come to Grand Central Market to help fix that.

This place is bomb! I can't have a lot of the food here with my allergies but I can take all my friends visiting from Chicago and Canada here! Everyone loves it! It's clean, there's plenty of parking if you get there early it usually like $10-$13 for parking. They have tons of security guards monitoring the floors to make you feel safe while you're downtown. There's a guard posted up next to the bathroom so you don't feel vulnerable. they have custodians constantly cleaning and sanitizing. The selection of food is unlimited! You just gotta come you won't be disappointed!

Went to Grand Central Market for lunch at Wexler's Deli to try their smoked salmon. They are well-known for their smoked onsite meats like pastrami and corned beef but the salmon is also smoked there so I wanted to try it. Best smoked salmon I have ever had! Placed my order and went down to Golden Road Brewery for one of their great IPAs to go with my lunch. Finished off with two scoops of McConnell ice cream. Lots of other choices there for all different types of food. I would also recommend trying Sarita's Pupuseria, but get there early to avoid the long line.

GRAND CENTRAL MARKET IS A NICE SPOT TO GRAB A BITE WITH MANY OPTIONS! McConnell's Fine Ice Creams was founded by husband and wife, Gordon "Mac" and Ernesteen McConnell, in Santa Barbara, California in 1949. HONESTLY some very interesting flavors ' and I tried alot of different ice creams in my life It tasted a little tarty and balanced with creamy sweetness. ONE OF MY FAVE MINT CHIPS TOO! 9/10 ---- Next stop I had RAMEN RAMEN HOOD! I actually had no idea ramen hood had only 100% vegan ramen but it was delicious ! I got the Pork katsu garlic ramen which had no real meat in it, very rich broth. I think I still like REAL MEAT better lol but I still enjoyed it a lot. 7/10 --- LA HUERTA THE CANDY SHOP WAS SO GOOD ! Fresh juicy and yummy spicy mango gummies :) 10/10 Follow me for more : LIVING WITH LUCI

Best place to go around indoors in DTLA is this indoor market that has crap tons of food and crafts. Grand Central Market is a pretty big place that actually has a few floors. It has the main area with all the vendors. Also there's some kind of flea market looking place in the basement. The upstairs is where it's busy with people getting food and whatever. A busy place it seems to be. It's just about the most popular place to go to in this area to be honest. There's lots to choose from for any tastes. A popular place is Eggslut. This is a breakfast place right inside the main entrance that has pretty long ass lines. Ramen Hood is entirely plant based and has noodles of course. There's sausages at Berlin Currywurst including ones made from tofu. Also a location of Golden Road Brewery to get some good beers and bar food like pretzels. Teddy's Tiny Bites has pancakes and whatever. Also lots of places to get bulk foods. There's candy, spices, and lots more. Certainly it can get very busy. It's also known for having high prices on some stuff. There's some that are good values.

A date day at Grand Central Market... Yes, we did this and I'm so glad we did!! Meeting in the middle for a truly unforgettable time. ARRIVING: With options of entering or exiting from Broadway or Hill Street... pretty neat, right? You can hop off at the fast east Pershing Square Station hub (on the corner of 4th Street & Hill) or even at Civic Center/ Grand Park Station as both are the same distance from the must experience DTLA Public Market and Food Court, serving the greater city of Los Angeles since 1917. If driving like a lot of people tend to do you have your choice of structured or open parking both off 3rd & Hill. The lots range from $5 to $25 depending on time spent at GCM and in the area. The choices are endless and you'll definitely find something for yourself, and/or the company you're with. The great thing is you can try one thing, they can try something else and/or you can share! EATING: We ended up having a LA LA Land moment trying Sarita's Pupuseria, right in the corner area... It was pretty cute...The wait on a Sunday or weekend however was endless lol... So be prepared O.O... Definitely one of the most popular places in the entire Central Market, but absolutely worth it. The fried plantains alone are amazing and the pupusas (many vegetarian and some vegan options available). Valeria's [Latin Dry Goods], yes! #ShopSmall Golden Road Brewery, check! #CheersForCheers McConnell's Fine Ice Creams, w/ mango sorbet (for us dairy free folks as well as their plant-based Salted Caramel Swirl) + SO MANY signature creamy classic favs like bae's mint chip. Ramen Hood (100% all vegan spot) w/ faux eggs, savory unique broth and loaded with flavor in HUGE bowls or reusable to-go containers. Olio's Wood Fired Pizzeria - vegan cheese option available... I'll be back, for that!! Desserts, Fresh Produce, Pantry Supplies, Drinks, Coffee Cafes, Sandwiches, Salads, Soups, Sushi, Pizza, Ramen, Vegan Chicken Tenders, Classic Tenders, sky's beyond high and above the limit with all the types of things to feed your soul, not to mention stomach with.... Staying hydrated is pretty easy too. EXPERIENCING: Seating is available, but very first come first serve. We managed to grab spots a few times. At one point when we made our way over to Golden Road we thought someone might be leaving, but they actually just got up to get an order while the other held the table. Mi corazon (aka him) spotted a table off the street just outside the Hill side INT/EXT - he swooped in like a someone hoping to get the last seat at a casino and win big lol [definitely winning big with each other... too cheesy?]. We got to look onto the bustling yet scenic street and watch Angel's Flight, just across from us. Photo opportunities throughout and on the outskirts of Grand Central Market, including their Jarrito's wall and reflective walk-in... Definitely had a #InstaBoyfriends moment... Don't forget to like and follow :D hahaha - you can also pop into the Photomatica Photobooth for a memory moment as well [totally forgot about doing this]. NOTE: I will say with all the foot traffic and normal wear... They could use some TLC in parts, some thick dust on some of the fans (not many or on, so very noticeable), heavy footprints (a nice deep mop), touch ups (here/there)... could really elevated them more as 2024 is the year a lot of us are getting back out more and more. TIPS: Open everyday from 8AM to 9PM with some vendors closing earlier or opening later than others depending on the day... Unless you're lucky enough to live in those apartments above the market... Wow!! Don't forget to explore some shopping at The Bazaar underneath on the lower level. Overall it's a great place to enjoy at any time! Lunch fix? Night craving? Date day? Self date day? Family fun? Anytime you're nearby? Yes, all the above!!
