If you're looking to sample local cuisine, there isn't a better place. Los Angeles cannot be defined by a single type of food--we have adopted so many cultural staples that it is impossible to pick just one. Here, you won't have to.

Vendors are usually the artists themselves, so the market is a great opportunity to chat with the creators about their wares. Its a great place to people watch, and to experience some of the food-truck culture of LA.

While there are plenty of exceptional Mexican and taco places on the east side, Guisados distinguishes itself with its wide array of options. If you're feeling adventurous, you can try the spiciest taco on the menu, Chiles Torreados, full of roasted habaneros. The line is always out the door, but they work so quickly that this is never a problem.

Sure you may have had ramen in your city, but this is ramen the way it used to be... when it was scarcely available except for a few places in a few cities on the west coast. The music, atmosphere, and vibe has been described by Japanese ex-pats like stepping back into a classic ramen house in 1950s Japan.

Super chill atmosphere. You get to pick what kind of music they play with an app too. Dog-friendly patio. Impressive beer selection and yummy bar food. It's in the middle of Koreatown so after that Korean bbq, wash it all down with a craft beer at Beer Belly.

This place has amazing margaritas, and their tacos are one in a million. Not to mention, on Tuesday they have great deals on their tacos, and a happy hour every evening. I recommend trying the coronita if you haven't already. It their signature beer margarita, and it is packed with a serious punch.

You will probably never find another place that sells Garam Masala and Cauliflower or Goat Cheese and Ginger Blueberry Jam ice cream. While they might sound a little crazy, the chefs at Salt & Straw are so adept at creating subtle and delicious flavors that you'll wonder why more places don't make them!

The staff here is not only great at serving, but they are all attractive. The drinks are not cheap, but the beer selection is great and the drinks are pretty strong. Lastly, they have a great set of appetizers for anyone who doesn't eat meat as well.

The staff is really friendly, and the food is delicious. They also have a wonderful selection of pies and cakes that are sure to satify even the worst day. Lastly, the prices are pretty average at this diner, especially for being in Hollywood.

The wait generally takes around 20 minutes, and it is well worth the amazing meal that is whipped up. For the vegetarians, they have amazing fries, pancakes, potatoes, and renowned lemonade! The price is a little high, but expected for the area.

The inside area is somewhat small, but the outside is spacious and filled with long wooden communal tables. Action Bronson, chef turned rapper food enthusiast, featured this restaurant on his Vice show "F*ck That's Delicious".
