[dropcap size=big]F[/dropcap]ans of the late Jonathan Gold will have a chance to remember the acclaimed writer Sunday at a public event hosted by Los Angeles Times staff writer Carolina A. Miranda.
Prior to the event, the city and Grand Central Market owners will unveil a "plaque and new historic light posts decorated in his honor" on the Broadway side of Grand Central Market.
Councilmember José Huizar introduced a motion this week for a Jonathan Gold Plaza memorial site to honor the Pulitzer-prize winning writer, who passed away in July at age 57.
In a statement, the city said it would also be unveiling other "permanent Gold-enhanced elements on historic light posts and, eventually, the sidewalk area will also highlight Jonathan Gold Plaza.”
Immediately following the unveiling, a free memorial festival will be held at Grand Park Performance lawn on Hill Street in downtown, where attendees will get an opportunity to eat, hear remembrances from friends and family, and watch previously unreleased footage from City of Gold, the documentary about his love of L.A. food, people, and culture.
