The people of Los Angeles are known as Angelenos. L.A. can truly be described as a "world city" (Alpha World City) — that is, it has one of the largest and most diverse populations of any municipality anywhere. The Hispanic and Asian American populations are growing particularly quickly — the Asian American population is the second largest of any city in the U.S. Los Angeles hosts the largest populations of Armenians, Cambodians, Filipinos, Guatemalans, Israelis, Koreans, Salvadorans, Thais, Vietnamese, Mexicans, and Hungarians outside of their respective countries. Los Angeles is also home to the largest populations of Japanese and Iranians living in the U.S., and has one of the largest Native American populations in the country.
Los Angeles is home to people from more than 140 countries, who speak at least 224 different languages. Ethnic enclaves like Chinatown, Koreatown, Little Armenia, Little Saigon, Thai Town, Historic Filipinotown and Little Ethiopia give testimony to the polyglot character of Los Angeles.
Great restaurants of all types abound in Los Angeles, thus the city is a perfect place for exquisite dining. Many celebrity chefs are also based in the city, the most notable being Wolfgang Puck. The nightlife in Los Angeles is unmatched, with an immense array of bars, clubs, lounges, and other venues that cater to every taste imaginable. Nighttime hotspots include places such as Downtown Los Angeles, Silver Lake, Hollywood, and West Hollywood, which is the home of the world-famous Sunset Strip. Furthermore, the Los Angeles area also boasts an unrivaled shopping scene. Anything can be bought in the city; some of the best shopping areas include Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, Third Street Promenade and Montana Avenue in Santa Monica, Old Town Pasadena, the Hollywood and Highland complex, the Beverly Center, the Grove, Melrose Avenue, and Robertson Boulevard.
