Fairfax District
Fairfax is sometimes referred to as the Fairfax District, presumably to differentiate Fairfax Avenue from the surrounding neighborhood. The stretch of Fairfax Avenue, which passes along the neighborhood’s western edge, is sometimes referred to as “Kosher Kanyon" or the “Bagel District” — though LADOT signs proclaim it “Fairfax Village.” The nicknames reflect the district’s historically strong Jewish presence, although much of that community has moved west since its heyday in the mid-20th century. It’s also home to The Grove, The Original Farmers’ Market, and CBS Television City.
