Nostalgia (with a spike of kimchi)

26 January, 2008

The New York Times “Weekend in New York” segment this week shines a spotlight on Koreatown in Manhattan (From Bim Bim Bop to a Huge Spa) Reading the article made me super nostalgic for K-town. I used to live several blocks away from 32nd and 5th Ave and miss the convenience of having superb Korean food and groceries only a few minutes away. Oh, to have a Kunjip ten minutes away by foot! Fresh Soon-du-boon at Seoul Garden! Korean fried chicken at Baden Baden (have you ever seen a Korean restaurant decorated as a German bierhaus?)!

Hm, now I’m hungry!
