Washington DC and Los Angeles, the two big cities in the U.S. either do not sleep or work till 4 am only to start working again from 6 am, hence they have 24-Hour Restaurants.

In Washington DC, politicians and their large support staff work almost round the clock. In Hollywood, Los Angeles, the headquarters of the world film industry also work 24-Hours.

Then, there are the insomniacs, 24-Hour -snackers that depend on restaurants who are ready to feed them all through the day, either through mobile apps or serve the diners in the restaurant building.

Oh, I forgot! Los Angeles is known to host parties till early in the morning. For them, it is still late-night and it seems there is no dawn for them. They too might run out of food and drinks and would like to if there are any 24-Hour restaurants nearby.

I compiled a list of 24-Hour restaurants in Los Angeles and Washington DC that might also come in handy for tourists who arrive during ghostly hours from other U.S. cities and other countries.

Most of the all-night restaurants (all-day too) do not serve or door deliver every dish on their menu. You might get cakes, pizzas, and waffles. However, some restaurant owners are overzealous and are willing to offer you a full course meal!
