Itinerary and highlights

We’ll begin our day in on this Los Angeles food tour in LA’s atmospheric Chinatown, which is experiencing a culinary renaissance.

We'll walk along and take in the sights (and eats) of LA's oldest street, the historical birthplace of the city.

Along the way, we'll make a stop at what is considered LA's oldest residence.

We make our way into the pedestrian-friendly backstreets of Little Tokyo to sample some of the most authentic – and delicious – Japanese food in America, from exquisite sushi to artisanal mochi.

As we make out way to another delicious bit, we'll take a look at this fascinating historic building, a key setting in the film "Blade Runner."

This bustling market is one of downtown LA's great civic centers. Here we will find the hidden vendors and some unforgettable food.
