About Fairfax
The Fairfax District blends old and new Los Angeles: the historic Original Farmers Market, the green expanse of Pan Pacific Park, and the streetwear-and-mural energy of Fairfax and Melrose Avenues. Much of it is free to browse and explore.
Long the historic center of Jewish LA, the neighborhood pairs delis and bakeries with public art, parks and easy access to LACMA and the La Brea Tar Pits nearby.
