Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles
1514 N Gower Street
Los Angeles, CA 90028
Chicken and waffles? Sounds like a crazy combination, but this late night eatery is famous for a reason. Open until 4 a.m. on weekends, Roscoe's proves that nothing is better than crowding into a large room with fellow fried chicken lovers and chowing down on crunchy chicken on top of sweet waffles. Snoop Dogg, Biggy and Ludacris have all mentioned Roscoe's in their songs, and Snoop Dogg has even taken David Beckham and Larry King to this soul food heaven. If you are really feeling adventurous order the fried chicken livers, and if your late night appetite is craving sweet, you can't go wrong with a slice of sweet potato pie.
Sweet Love Hangover

Hollywood, CA 90028
Who says you have to leave the club to grab some yummy late night eats? Attached to Hollywood club Playhouse and positioned right on Hollywood Boulevard, Sweet Love Hangover is the perfect place to continue your late night fun. Play Connect Four, order a cocktail (we suggest The Floater: 7 Tikki Rum, Pepsi and Vanilla Ice Cream) and explore the menu you swear was created while completely plastered. Everything your alcohol-fueled desires could want are at Sweet Love Hangover, from an innocent Fried Bologna and Cheese to a dish that will sober you up in no time called the Tott-Cho's (crispy tater tots, spicy black bean chili, smoked Cheddar, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream and jalapenos). Don't forget, mention Clubplanet to your waiter and recieve 20% off your meal (excluding alcohol and gratuity).
Pink's Hot Dogs
709 N La Brea Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90038
There are so many places to eat in Los Angeles that you can sometimes feel like you are taking a shot in the dark to find a good meal, but Pink's hot dogs always delivers. A Hollywood legend since 1939, Pink’s Hot Dogs is the perfect little package of late night eats. The long lines usually begin at dinner time and keep on building until last call, which lucky for you isn’t until 3 a.m. on weekends. Late night meat lovers will crave the Today Show Dog (two hot dogs in one bun, mustard, onions, chili, cheese & guacamole) and Pink's even has the Los Angeles vegan covered with the Patt Morrison Baja Veggie Dog (topped with fresh guacamole, chopped tomatoes and onions). After Pink's, you won't even think of a New York dirty water dog again, unless you feel particularly nostalgic.
Taco Trucks (Reccomended: Next to The Brig in Venice)
1515 Abbot Kinney Boulevard
Venice, CA 90291
Los Angeles has become the king city of food trucks, and the best time to indulge in these convenient eats are late at night. Driving around Hollywood, cruising through Carson or parked in Venice next to The Brig, there is a truck for every late night craving. Undoubtedly, the king of the late night food trucks is the Kogi taco truck. Lines are always long, even when the other trucks are completely empty, and snacks like soft spicy pork sliders and the Kogi Kimchi Quesadilla will have you suddenly begging to leave the bar early just to get your hands on some. If you crave pancakes at 2 a.m. (who doesn’t), the Buttermilk Truck has you covered. If all you want is an ooey gooey grilled cheese, the Grilled Cheese Truck, offering simple takes on the classic treat, is a sure thing. Websites like FindLAFoodTrucks.com make it easy to keep tabs on food truck twitter feeds, or check out Clustertruck to see a live virtual map of who is where and serving what.
