Step 1
Join the dozens of people standing in line on La Brea Ave in Hollywood and get a hot dog from Pinks, one of the city's most popular landmark food places since around the start of World War II. The stand offers more than two dozen different kinds of hot dogs, as well as burgers, burritos and side orders. The place is usually packed, even during late hours. Regardless, phone-in orders are not accepted.

Step 2
Enjoy an authentic Korean dining experience at local favorite hangout, the BCD Tofu House, which is open 24 hours a day. Or go to any Korean barbecue restaurant in Korea Town, located in the center to the eastern part of Wilshire Boulevard, a major street that stretches for miles across Los Angeles, starting from the coast. Los Angeles has about 200,000 Korean residents, making it one of the largest Korean populations outside of Asia.

Step 3
Locate a taco truck to enjoy "real" Mexican food, which many say is a far cry from the more Americanized, blander "Tex Mex" dishes found in many chain restaurants across the country. If you cannot find a taco truck, try a "hole in the wall" Mexican take-out or sit-down place downtown or in the central San Fernando Valley.

Step 4
Eat some of the best sushi on "Sushi Row," which is a line of Japanese restaurants on a stretch of Ventura Boulevard in Studio City, located in the San Fernando Valley. Some offer all-you-can-eat specials, which are very popular among large parties.

Step 5
Enjoy deli food at any hour of the day at the famous Canter's Delicatessen on Fairfax Avenue in Hollywood. On some nights, musicians play at an in-house bar area.
