Melrose Trading Post, Los Angeles

This is a great "flea" market. There are some that are mostly trash, but not this one. It is well known and has great vendors of used, new and a mix of both. Really good food vendors too. Have only been a couple of times, but had good shoping experiences. Have also had good breakfast burritos and even good live music. Not only is it a shopping experience, but full family entertainment too. Will always,go out of our way to check it out whenever in town.

What can I say, I love the Melrose market!!!! So many awesome vendors: clothes, accessories, home goods, plants, art, vintage, repurposed, new, local, global, you name it! I've bought handmade jewelry, rugs, candles, homemade beauty products etc. We also always go to the food area and get crepes and lemonade. They have so many choices though. Live music as well. The best Sunday hangout. Entry is now $5, I seem to recall. Might want to bring cash, although most vendors do square now.

It was cute! Being from out of town, it's always hard visiting a flea market with so many extraordinary finds. Cassette tapes, vintage clothing, handmade furniture...the items are endless. Do yourself a favor and pop in. The live music is excusite!

Fun, and I thought there was a lot of variety in vendors. Vintage clothes intermingled with artist Renditions of old and new ideas. I found some great antique jewelry reasonably priced. A few seamstresses out there making some unique athletic wear as well as club attire. There is a cover charge to get in... I think it is worth it as I'm sure it decreases the vendors lease fee and not everybody sells what they'd like.

Love this place! Some sellers can be more expensive than others but I always leave with a plant and a new piece of jewelry. Great vibe in general.
