Koreatown has just about everything you could wish for, from spas to museums to excellent food. It’s been under the radar for quite some time but is re-emerging as a must-see LA neighborhood. —Katherine Spiers
Culture & RecreationLooking to tone your body? Or is it your mind you’re trying to improve? Koreatown can help with both.

Center for YogaIn the oldest yoga studio in the county, there's a hatha class for just about every demographic.
2.
The WilternOne of the best smaller concert venues in town with historic architecture to boot, The Wiltern hosts a wide range of musicians.

4.
George C. Page Museum at the La Brea Tar PitsWoolly mammoths, saber-tooth cats, giant sloths! The skeletons are fascinating, and during the summer visitors can watch and excavation in progress. Just be prepared for the smell.

Sheila Kelley's S FactorSo you’re a married woman, a mother, or a “good girl.” That doesn’t mean you can’t let out your inner freak in pole-dancing class.
DiningKorean food is kind of a given in this neighborhood. But it’s also home to one of the most diverse restaurant collections in town.
1.

4.
Opus RestaurantLooking for upscale? Trying not to ruin your credit? Voila! Opus could serve their scallops, sashimi, and sorbet for twice the price. Lucky for all our palates, they don’t.
5.
Sa Rit GolAlright, so Korean food is what you’re really after. Sa Rit Gol is a foodie favorite for barbeque, but don’t miss out on their equally delicious stews and braised fish.

Caffe Brass MonkeyIt’s karaoke time! The surroundings aren’t fancy, but the singalong joint is still a celebrity favorite and TV-writer hangout.
3.
H.M.S. BountySometimes the mood strikes at 1am for a shrimp cocktail, a martini and conversation with a WWII vet.
Shopping & BeautyYour beauty needs are covered in Koreatown. There’s also a wine store to make everyone else look beautiful.
1.
Beverly Hot SpringsThe only natural thermal spa in the city, this spa pumps its own water directly from below. It’s not fancy, but everyone’s naked.
