🥗 Market Munchies & Grove Grooves! 🎡

🥗 Market Munchies & Grove Grooves! 🎡
Ready for a Friday filled with good food, great vibes, and even better company? Join us on January 17th for a social feast at the world-famous Original Farmers Market and The Grove!
Whether you’re craving a world-class kebab, a classic burger, or some fresh sushi, this is the ultimate "choose your own adventure" lunch.

📍 The Game Plan:

• 1:00 PM | The Meet Up: We’re meeting at an area that will post in the comments.
• The Food Dash: Everyone grabs whatever they’re craving from the dozens of incredible stalls. No fighting over where to go—everyone gets exactly what they want!
• The Group Grub: We’ll regroup at the common patio tables to eat together, share stories, and soak up the market atmosphere.

🚗 Parking Deets
Since we are meeting at the Market first, here are your best bets:
Option 1: The Original Farmers Market Lots (Surface Lots)
Best for: If you plan on doing most of your eating at the Market stalls.
Validation: You get 90 minutes free with validation from any Market merchant (like where you buy your lunch).
Rates: After the first 90 minutes, it’s usually $3 for the next 15 minutes, with a $24–$30 daily max.
Option 2: The Grove Parking Structure (Multi-level Garage)
Best for: If you plan on staying late for the movie or Barnes & Noble.
Validation: Usually 1 hour free (no validation needed).
Pro Tip: If you see a movie at AMC, they usually validate for up to 4 hours for a flat $5 fee.
Note: Nordstrom and some restaurants also validate, but most now require a purchase.
Option 3: Rideshare / Public Transit
If you want to skip the garage traffic entirely, there are easy drop-off points at the Grove Drive entrance or along Fairfax Ave.
⚠️ Important: Make sure you park in the lot that matches where you get validated! If you park at The Grove but eat at the Farmers Market, your ticket won't be validated.
