Getting There

  • Public Bus

    If you are in Glendale, head to the nearest bus stop and take the Metro 180 or 183 bus towards Downtown Los Angeles. Make sure to check the bus schedule for the next departure. Once on the bus, stay on until you reach the stop at 7th St/Metro Center Station. From there, transfer to the Metro Red Line towards Union Station. Get off at the next stop, which is Pershing Square. Exit the station and walk east on W 5th St towards S Broadway. Turn right on S Broadway and walk straight for about 5 blocks until you reach Grand Central Market at 317 S Broadway.

    To reach Grand Central Market from Glendale, find the nearest Metro station serving the B (Red) Line. Take the B Line towards Union Station. Get off at Pershing Square Station. After exiting the station, walk east on W 5th St towards S Broadway, then turn right on S Broadway. Grand Central Market will be a short walk ahead at 317 S Broadway.

  • Walking

    If you're near the Glendale Galleria or the Americana at Brand, you can walk to the nearest bus stop or Metro station to begin your journey towards Grand Central Market.

You would head south on Brand Blvd towards E Colorado St, then continue down to E 5th St, turn left, and keep walking until you reach S Broadway, where you will find Grand Central Market.
