Best Restaurants in LA

Where else in the world can you breakfast on moles de tamarindo in East L.A, lunch on Peruvian wood-fired rotisserie chicken in Koreatown, dine on steamed trout in vegetable plum soup in Thai Town, and nite-cap it off by asking the veteran bartenders at Musso and Frank's to make a dirty martini?
