LA Late Night Tips
- Koreatown is king: Best concentration of late-night quality food
- Taco trucks: Look for trucks with long lines—that's the good stuff
- Drive-thrus matter: Car culture means many drive-thrus open later
- Uber Eats late: Many restaurants only do delivery after midnight
- Parking: Koreatown has underground lots; Hollywood is street parking
