Fodor's Expert Review Time Travel Mart
Echo Park
Other Specialty Store
You probably won’t find anything useful in the Time Travel Mart and that’s exactly the point. From dinosaur eggs to robot milk, this is a store that touts the ridiculous—all of which should bring back memories of your childhood and maybe a little bit of joy. But that's because the store holds a secret: it’s really a fundraiser for the nonprofit 826LA, which tutors neighborhood kids in the back section. So, know when you're buying that totally unnecessary, but absolutely wonderful, samurai umbrella, the proceeds are going to a good cause.
