Los Angeles nightlife has evolved as an eclectic mix of comedy clubs, hard-rock spots, pubs, coffeehouses, cocktail lounges and piano-bar restaurants scattered throughout the city. This mottled scene maintains some distinct patches - the rock-star wanna-bes of West Hollywood, the yuppies of Old Town and the alternative-lifestylers of Santa Monica. Overall, however, the roar of Los Angeles nightlife thunders in from all octaves and decibels.

Los Angeles Restaurants

Los Angeles dining scene is a veritable melting pot of international flavors and styles. Los Angeles restaurants offer a whole host of cuisine and imported specialties unseen anywhere else. Choices span from mainstream offerings such as Mexican and Italian to rare specialties such as Moroccan and Uzbek. Just twenty years ago, Los Angeles restaurants were infamous for pushing "California cuisine," that Southern Californian epicures often felt the need to escape as far north as San Francisco in search of a good meal. Then a “fusion cuisine”, as a process of combining ingredients from all areas of the world, was brought in to LA restaurants and Los Angeles dining became a truly rich experience.
