New to this neck of the woods....
Any must try restaurants, farmer's markets, food shops, bakeries nearby?
I think this area is called Jefferson Park?
Inexpensive a huge plus!!
TIA!

        There is the Wellington Square Farmers Market on Sunday mornings which is small but has some delights like La Maison du Pain it is near Crenshaw and Washington and If you are over there my favorite brunches in the city can be had at Eureka Cafe though beware they are only open on weekends for now.

              Not necessarily in Jefferson Park, but go up a bit north and you're sort of in the heart of Korea town, lots and lots of good and cheap grub there.
