Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is a sprawling grid of asphalt, eucalyptus, and maritime fog that breaks by noon. You do not stroll here; you drive, navigating concrete freeways toward strip malls that hold the best food in North America. From the pungent galbi sizzling over charcoal in Koreatown to the citrus groves tucked against the San Gabriel foothills, this city rewards patience and an appetite for everyday immigrant genius.
