Echo Park boasts playgrounds, grassy walkways and solid granite rock face creating a surprising scenic experience for market shoppers. During the summer season, the enticing smells from easy to prepare dishes featuring regionally grown produce lure passersby to this bustling market place. The market is located on Burnside Avenue , one the main transportation arteries of the borough.
