Where to eat right now in the City of Angels

People dining in Los Angeles, whether local or tourist, have one important question: Where should I eat right now? Restaurant obsessives want to know what's new, what's hot, which favorite chef just launched a sophomore effort. And while the Eater 38 is a crucial resource covering old standbys and neighborhood restaurants across the city, it is not a chronicle of the 'it' places of the moment. Restaurants are placed on the map in geographical order, from west to east. Generally these restaurants are younger than six months old.
