Coco DeVille
Good-looking crowd, so dress your best. With the hottest waitresses in town. Sit at the table to your immediate right upon entering, because it's open to the dance floor. Trust me you will be inclined to buy bottles because the hostess at the front door is smoking. Fridays*

H-Wood
A celeb-orgy hotspot, H-Wood looks more like a New York City loft than a posh L.A. night club. Accented with bricks and windows from Andy Warhol's NYC apartment, if you can get passed the velvet ropes and burly body guards then you're sure to have a good time! Mondays.

Kogi
Always on the run, this traveling Korean BBQ truck has the best spicy pork tacos! Follow them on twitter to find out where they're going to be next. Expect a line of Kogi Groupies. Check out their website for private catering info.
Urasawa
There aren't enough stars for this place. Be prepared to eat for at least four hours and please don't even think about a budget. The food is flawless, creative and beautiful. The service is exceptional and attentive to the point of almost compulsion. Suffice to say if I died today I have lived a full life simply from my experience with Hiro-san.

Swingers
The place to be after 2 a.m., this late night stop is usually packed so be prepared to wait a bit. Wanna bypass the line? Come with a big group and get the booth in the back! They leave it open for larger parties. On fridays, order the three-cheese and bacon sandwich.

Ghetto dogs
Legend says these dogs are made of rat, cat, and dog meat but...who gives a shit because at 2 a.m. they hit the damn spot! Get more than one because you know your drunk friends are gonna ask for a bite.
Outside every club or bar in Los Angeles. Follow your nose.

Banana Leaf
Hidden in the back of the farmers market, Banana Leaf has the best spicy chicken curry in Los Angeles. My Indian friend says so =). Order a side of Paratha and mango juice to wash it down. Sascha Baron Cohen's favorite place to eat. It's good going down but not as pleasant coming out.

Potato Chips
Newly opened, this place has only several subs to choose from, and that's why we like it! Served on steel trays, Potato Chips has the best Italian Sub in town. Order the jalapeno chips, crush them up, and put them on your sandwich.

Katsuya
The sushi is extremely good but the interiors are fairly simple. The designer Starck is overrated. It's like a giant "everyone look at everyone" kinda place with it's extremely open dining area. Which is why we put it on the list! Grab a date, order some sake bombs, and we promise you will get laid later that night.

Manna
Located in the heart of Korea town, this place is ideal for a large group birthday party! They have set prices for everyone at the table so you know what you're getting into when that check comes. Tell your waitress, in private, whose birthday it is, and they'll dump extremely cheap champagne all over that 200.00 dollar birthday suit they've been waiting to wear all week!
