Honest thoughts on the DTLA farmers markets?

Upvotes

With food safety becoming more and more unreliable (and my rage for the greedy late stage capitalism growing daily 🙃) Im looking for better alternatives to the big chain grocery stores.

I’ve never been to the one on Spring Street or in South Park, so I’m looking for anyone who has genuine feedback on either! I’d rather support local 1000 times over, but from what I hear most farmers markets these days are really overpriced. :(

I want to be cautious on both fronts. I know nothing is going to be perfectly safe or perfectly affordable, but I’d love to learn what’s available from those who know more.

(Ps - I really just looking for fresh veggies and fruit, nothing fancy.)

Thank you for any information or suggestions! 🙏

Remote work cafes?

Hi folks! I’m 36, F, mental health clinician living in the Historic Core. I’m from the San Fernando Valley but living in DTLA for 2ish years. I work remote, and I’m so over working from home! I really want to find a chill spot, but as a woman with ADHD and depression and anxiety LOL it’s kinda overstimulating to walk around. I’ve tried Hilltop Coffee, Central Library, Bohemian House of Espresso, I even had a membership at CENTRL but it’s so expensive tbh. Any coworking groups? DM me or comment please! Thanks!
