Koreatown Galleria, Los Angeles

Koreatown is a happening neighborhood, with an unmistakable bias towards good eating and merry-making. Apart from street-prowling and window shopping, exploring a Korean mall is an exhilarating field trip in and of itself. K-town Galleria proffers two floors of clothing, accessories and electronics, with a food court, adopted by a few local office workers as a regular lunch spot. Pore over an exotic selection of imported fashions and DVDs and perhaps shop for unusual gifts. The true pearl, however, is the enormous supermarket downstairs, Galleria Market. Epic in size, it features every kind of Korean delicacy, from rare fish varieties to ready-made Korean specialties. Come here for the widest selection of sakes, sojus and plum wine. -Kate Sobol
