World's Top Night Markets

Yamashiro Farmers' Market, Los Angeles

Now in its second year, this brainchild of the nonprofit LA City Farm takes place Thursday evenings all summer in the lower parking lot of Yamashiro Japanese restaurant in the Hollywood Hills. Not only are there views of the city spread out below, but the market offers free off-site parking and round-trip shuttle service—two perks virtually unheard of in L.A. Friends and young families line up for gourmet street food like shrimp toasties and pulled-pork sliders before chowing down at scattered tables and chairs.

Market Find: Duck confit or chicken satay tacos prepared by Yamashiro's own Chef Brock are worth the wait.
