Although LA's first major
Jewish community settled in the East LA neighbourhood of Boyle Heights, the stretch of Fairfax
Aveune between Beverly Boulevard and Melrose Avenue has been LA's main Jewish
drag since the 1940's. If you're in the bar for a new jewish boy freind in Los
angeles with a menorah or the latest in Israeli pop music, you're in the
right place.
and now a note from our
sponsor....
Thank you again for your
generous offer in regards to our luncheon. As we discussed, here is the
silent auction item submission form. As we discussed, some kind of hair/spa
package would be a great addition to the items we have up for silent auction.
If you decide to submit something, it will be a part of the silent auction
with the proceeds going to Children’s Cancer Research Fund. Let me know what
you decide, or you can just mail this form and anything else you have to the
address below. Thanks again.

Kosher markets,
butcher's stores, restaurants and bakeries are located on Farifax ave in the
City of Los Angeles ; all are excellent,
and naturally, almost all are closed on Saturdays. Open 24-7, however is the
legendary Los Angeles Canter's Deli, a World War II-ear kosher restaurant, deli and bakerey.
Adjoining it is the divey Canter's Kibitz Room ; across the street is Largo, a
haven for KCRW- friendly singer-songwriters. Just south of the Beverly – Fairfax
intersertion lies CBS Television City, built in 1952
and still used as a filming location for shows such as The Price Is Right.
Looking at the vast complex, you'd never guess the site once held a major
sporting stadium: Gilmore Field, built in 1939 and home to the minor- league
Hollywood Stars baseball team until their demise in 1957 ( CBS bought the lot,
razed the stadium and expanded their facilities ). Next door, at the junction of
W 3rd Street and Fairfax Avenue, is the tag- team retail experience
of the Grove and the Farmers Market. The former is dominated by all the usual
chains, but its spacey, open – air layout helps make it one of the most pleasant
shopping centres in Los Angeles. The Farmers Market, was made before the Grove by more
than 60 years, no longer lives up to its name. Still, though the farmers who set
up here for the first time in 1934 have long since moved their wares elsewhere,
food continues to dominate this wonderfully old fashioned commerical corner.
Some of the stalls here are shops, selling fruits and fudge and assorted sundry
temptations; others are full service food counters, hawking everything from
pizza to gumbo for the benefit of a cheerily ravenous crowd. For the best places
to eat, here.
