 Bossa Nova
7181 Sunset Blvd.
Open every day, 11 a.m. - 4 a.m.
It’s often difficult after a night out on the town to satisfy those late-night munchies. But there is always one restaurant that will provide the night-clubber on a budget a run for his or her money. That place is Bossa Nova, Brazilian cuisine at its finest, located on famous Sunset Boulevard with other locations scattered across L.A. Open seven days a week from 11a.m. to 4a.m., this quaint bistro provides a needed escape from the typical burger and fries. And thanks to an enthusiastic, cordial staff, every visit is an adventure in itself. With hefty servings of appetizers like the chicken brochette, various types of pastas and lasagnas, Brazilian classics such as beef stroganoff, and New York lion steak served with a side of plantains, any craving will surely be put to rest by the end of the night. -- Vanessa Frigillana
 Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘N Waffles
Five Locations in Los Angeles
Monday - Thursday, Sunday 8:30 a.m. - Midnight
Friday - Saturday 8:00 a.m. - 4 a.m.
If you can’t decide between dinner and breakfast, why not have both? Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘N Waffles has the perfect combination of foods that you never thought would go together. Featuring sweet potato pie, homemade mac ‘n’ cheese, hot water cornbread, grits, and, of course, the infamous chicken and waffles, Roscoe’s has just the right soul food to cure any late-night hunger pains. - Michelle Castillo
 The Griddle Cafe
7916 Sunset Blvd.
Monday - Friday 7 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Saturday - Sunday 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.
The Griddle Cafe might be located in carb-cutting Hollywood, but its decadent, oversized dishes will make you forget any sort of diet. The ideal breakfast joint, this establishment serves all the favorites with a twist, such as a “Cobb” omelet, which contains all the ingredients from your traditional salad with the same name, minus the greens, and “The Golden Ticket,” pancakes filled with banana, streusel, walnuts and caramel, and topped with whipped cream and more caramel and streusel. After all, following a long night of drinking, nothing cures a hangover better than pancakes as big as your face and French-pressed fresh coffee. - Michelle Castillo
 Tofuya
2021 Sawtelle Blvd.
Open every day except Thursday, 11:30 a.m. - 9:30 p.m.
With its non-descript sign and location amidst a plethora of Asian-themed restaurants, Tofuya might be easy to pass up, especially when confronted with the long line of hungry customers normally waiting outside the door. But, don’t be discouraged - Tofuya is worth the wait for its Soon Tofu, piping-hot spicy soft tofu stews that can be paired with vegetables, meat or seafood. The Korean restaurant serves traditional dishes friendly to the non-traditional palate - from Korean BBQ to kimchee side dishes -- making sure that everyone in your party can find something they’ll enjoy. - Michelle Castillo
 Diddy Riese
926 Broxton Ave in Westwood Village
Monday - Friday 7 a.m. - Midnight
Saturday, Sunday 12 p.m. - Midnight
Visitors and students craving cookies and ice cream sandwiches head to the famed Diddy Riese. The large variety of freshly baked 35-cent cookies sold at this UCLA hotspot is a boon to Westwood locals and visitors. Known for its generous selection of low-cost warm goodies -- cookies like white chocolate macadamia, oatmeal, and snickerdoodle as well as cool ice cream sandwiches -- Diddy Riese continues to gain an avid fan base. The small store started in 1983, and ever since, these delectable treats have been a Bruin favorite. - Kimberley Wong
