Activity Description
Take an exotic tour around the world - by foot - without ever leaving Los Angeles! Sample incredibly delicious world foods while you're at it, and get ready to enjoy stories about local L.A. color you won't hear anywhere else!
This epicurean stroll is along W. 3rd Street in mid-city Los Angeles, from the famous Farmers Market at Fairfax Avenue to the stylish Beverly Center at La Cienega Blvd.
The Farmers Market will acquaint guests with family businesses owned as far back as the 1930s. Along W. 3rd Street we'll drop in to restaurants, cafes, gourmet groceries, one of the very few bookstores in the country dedicated solely to cookbooks, and even a fabulously sensual perfume laboratory for a tasting like no other!
Food tastings, both savory and sweet, are sure to satisfy in the best of ways, and include signature dishes from:
- Ethnic eateries (Japanese, French, Brazilian)
- New York style deli/bakery
- Doughnut shop
- Handmade candy shop
- Tea shop
The tour concludes back at our original starting point. The food samples along the way are filling enough so that for most people lunch afterwards is not necessary.
What Is Not Included?
You will be served coffee and receive a bottle of water at the start of the tour, but no other beverages are included.
Parking at the starting point is not included. Parking rates are as follows and will cost approximately $6:
