Grand Central Market Celebrates Summer With Late Nights, Happy Hours And Movies

You'll soon have plenty of new downtown dinner options as Grand Central Market is extending its hours this summer and adding fun specials, movie screenings, live music and more.Starting on June 3, the rapidly evolving historic marketplace will stay open every day until 10 p.m., according to the L.A. Times. Many of the vendors will be featuring dinner-only specials and there will be a market-wide happy hour from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Some of the stalls participating in the extended hours and specials include Knead & Co Pasta Bar + Market, Sticky Rice, Golden Road, Ramen Hood, Belcampo Meat Co., Oyster Gourmet, Courage & Craft, Berlin Currywurst, La Tostaderia, Valerie, DTLA Cheese and Kitchen, Horse Thief BBQ, McConnell's Fine Ice Cream, Olio Pizzeria, as well as old school favorites like Las Morelianas, China Cafe, Chiles Secos, Roast To Go, La Huerta, and more. Some of the vendors will not be extending hours though, so you'll still have to get up early to try and beat the eternal line at Egg Slut.
To keep you entertained while you feast, the market will also host DJs on Friday nights, live music on Saturdays and Sundays, and a flea market every second Thursday of the month to correspond with the Downtown Art Walk. Movies will also be shown on the patio of Horse Thief on Wednesday nights, game nights will continue on the first Thursday of every month, and there will be a free shuttle to take you from the dinner at the market to nearby venues like the Music Center, Staples Center and the Orpheum Theatre.
The new hours will run until September 22. Grand Central Market added later hours Thursday through Saturday back in October, 2014.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
