WHY A great Sunday vibe at a serious market.

WHAT Since opening in 2006, this market has become an important westside gathering place (Councilman Bill Rosendahl held his swearing in here) and resource for quality ingredients. Chefs Mary Sue Milliken, Hans Rockenwagner and Raphael Lunetta shop here for their families, and local eateries like Curious Palate walk over to stock up from such top-notch growers as Givens, Tamai, Capay Organic and Fat Uncle Farm. Dog-sitting and bike valet services make life easy.

WHO A lively Oaxacan community from south of the market, upscale film folks from the north, and chefs who live in the ‘hood.
