Where to Stay in LA if You Like to Eat

"If excellent eating is what you're after, Los Angeles delivers in spades. The Southern California metropolis lays claim to some of the world's best year-round farmers' markets and its enclaves of immigrant cuisines-Koreatown, Thai Town, and the San Gabriel Valley for Chinese-are unmatched. But here's the thing: LA functions more like a patchwork of suburbs, each with its own culture and culinary draws."

"Getting around Los Angeles takes four wheels, even if you stick to a smaller geographic area. Public transit is limited and slow, so plan on renting a car or relying on Uber and Waymo (you'll see the self-driving cars everywhere). With that in mind, here's where to stay in Los Angeles if eating is your priority, and where to eat once you're settled in."

Los Angeles offers an exceptional and diverse food scene anchored by year-round farmers' markets and dense immigrant culinary enclaves such as Koreatown, Thai Town, and the San Gabriel Valley. The city operates as a patchwork of suburbs, each with distinct cultural and culinary draws, so concentrating lodging in a single neighborhood enables deeper exploration and reduces time lost to traffic. Reliable travel requires a car or ride-hailing services, including Uber and self-driving Waymo vehicles. Neighborhoods like Silver Lake and Melrose Hill host eclectic, creative food offerings, from Courage Bagels and Bridgetown Roti to Azizam and Café Tropical.
