That's cool, I used to live in Philly. Anyways, you don't need a passport if you are traveling within the U.S., only if you go internationally. This is true for any airline so no worries.
Since you are going to be in L.A., the metro bus lines run everywhere until pretty late at night so you don't need to worry about that either. If you feel safer taking a taxi, you could always do that since you live around NYC so that should be a piece of cake for you. The HB is in Hollywood and you can take a shuttle from the airport that can drop you off directly at your hotel. There is usually a set rate for that. Since you are coming from all the way out there, I am going to assume that you do realize that this trip is going to cost a good deal of money.
Be careful of one thing though, getting back might be hard. Traffic is TERRIBLE after the concert and it does not help that you are in the L.A. area on a Saturday night either. Besides the enormous amount of people that will be leaving the concert+going to pick up people from the concert+people who are going clubbing or whatever in Hollywood/L.A...traffic is going to take a really long time to get out of. The setting of the streets and parking lots at the HB does NOT help. Find a reliable way to get out of there because I don't know how reliable buses and even taxi's will be at that time.
Chances that DBSK are coming, based on the events of the last few concerts [like who came and etc.] are unlikely. But we could be surprised.
As for restaurants, the great thing about the area you are in is that places open really late. Places in ktown even open 24/7. The problem is getting from the Bowl to the restaurants. If you are looking for GOOD Korean food right NEAR the HB, that might be a problem...if you can find a way to get from the HB into ktown which is like 4 miles south [although it might feel like 40 with traffic] then you're set. Use www.yelp.com to help you out there. The concert will end at about 11ish. Getting out of the stadium will take about 20 minutes. Getting out of the area itself...might take a great deal longer.
Good Luck! If you have any other questions, just pm me. [It would be easier to help you out if the people you are asking knew which hotel you were staying at and how long you are staying for.]
Ah seriously wish DBSK would come.
That sounds kind of scary now that I think about it but then again,
I am not the kind of person that is easily scared. So, I don't think I will be.
Ah, I will probably go before going to the concert like the day before on my way to the hotel
from the airport.
hahahaha
If anyone from the East like the tri state area is going it would be cool if
we went together...either way.
thanks for the info
