An oddly undefined area of Los Angeles that gained popularity in recent years for it's eclectic nature on Melrose, to fine furniture on Beverly. Historically home to mostly Orthodox Jews, it's now a great mix of what was with fresh faces and fantastic food. Including the Farmer's Market (a true gem) and the newer grove, plus numerous shops, restaurant, and bars, the Fairfax district has a ton to offer in terms of "real" LA.
A Mexican favorite in the Farmer's Market.
The original Farmer's Market is great (and worth checking out regardless), but most of the food is sub-par. This spot is not. Excellent molé, enchiladas, soups, and tacos. Then order up a beer from the bar in the next stall, and you're set to people watch tourists for the next 2 hours.
