Fairfax District

The Fairfax District is a residential area in Central Los Angeles with tree-lined streets and small shops scattered throughout. The neighborhood mixes quiet residential blocks with bustling commercial zones and offers a range of local businesses.

The area became a center for the Jewish community starting in the 1930s with multiple synagogues opening. Over the following decades, the neighborhood's religious and cultural institutions grew considerably.

Canter's Delicatessen shows the neighborhood's Jewish roots through homemade food and warmth that feels like family. People come at any hour to taste traditional dishes and sit in booths where generations have gathered.

The Original Farmers Market operates daily with over 100 vendors selling fresh produce, meats, and international foods. Visitors can walk between stalls at their own pace or sit at tables to eat and watch people pass by.

CBS Television City was built in 1952 on the grounds of a former sports stadium and still produces television shows today. Passersby sometimes catch glimpses of active production happening on the lot.
