just a few things that made it home from the market…

Beets | Carrots | Tomatoes | Ginger | Onions | Curly Kale

New Market: 7th & Figueroa, Downtown LA | Best of Downtown 2010 Runner-Up (♥:Um, okay.)

First Impression: Uninspiring.

Where’s the veg adventure?  Where’s the fruit surprise?  Where’s the wonder?  Eh, not there.

At this lunchtime market, hot food is king.  The produce at 7th & Fig is conventional grocery selection with a kinda pretty farmers market dress on.  Full of staples, low on variety.

Put on by the same group that does the market at Pershing Sq; I’ll just assume they are playing to their audience.  Crowd seemed to be more impulse, less intent.  I didn’t notice anyone leaving with full bags.

Forecast: We’ll see.  Not hopeful.
