Off-Ramp Recommends: a Smorgasburg on the Westside

About the Show

Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

If you have been to Smorgasburg LA then you know it’s the perfect place to Instagram foodie L.A. luxuries. Now imagine how many cool points you’ll get for sharing pictures that not only showcase delicious food but that also have an awesome view of the iconic Santa Monica Pier. 

For the first time Smorgasburg LA will be holding an event on the Westside.

Smorgasburg LA is a a weekly market showcasing some of L.A.’s best food and crafts. The event typically features about five acres of shopping, chow, and drinks every Sunday in downtown L.A.. But this Saturday, the event will be popping up for one day only at the Santa Monica Pier.

Current Smorgasburg vendors will visit the pier, including Shrimp Daddy, Amazebowls, Lobsterdamus, Donut Friend, and Cheezus.

Brand new vendors like Chichidango and J/10 Chai Co. will make their debut at this event too. If crafts are more your style, make sure to check out handmade goodies from Baobab Collective, Rx Candles, and Goldenwest Goods.

If you can’t make it to the pier on Saturday, you can always visit Smorgasburg at its regular location and time on Sunday.

The special Saturday Smorgasburg will take place from 11 a.m to 5 p.m. on March 11th at the Santa Monica Pier. Smorgasburg LA happens every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Alameda Produce Market.  The event is free, but bring cash for treats. For more information visit the website.
