The Market Opens at Santa Monica Place To Give You Dancing Lessons With Karina Smirnoff

As of 10:00 A.M. this morning, The Market at Santa Monica Place is (finally) open! This always sounded like the coolest component of the revitalized mall, a congregation of local restaurants, gourmet vendors, and food artisans all in one space, inspired by San Francisco’s Ferry Building, and hopefully balancing out the presence of so many contractually-imported restaurants on the mall’s Dining Deck. Grab a preview of all the hand-made chocolate, cured meat, and cooking school glory over on LAist and if it’s at all your bag, come check out Dancing With the Stars’ “Karinska,” Dmitry, Damien, and Peta, as they offer public dancing lessons and performances at a party scheduled for 6:15 P.M. this Saturday.
