I want to try it for the first time Mon Apr 28 15:49:03 -0700 2003 0 Jen 1 1071835 32nd St between 5th and Broadway is Korean Town, a street filled with Korean restaurants. My favorites are Dae Dong and Kujip. If you do a search on this page you can find many recommendations for restaurants on this block (as well as some a few blocks away).

Take the 7 to Main St. or take the LIRR from Penn to Murray Hill (yep, there are 2). It won't take too long for either. Anyway, by Main St. there are some, but most are on Northern Blvd. from Main (about, say 140st) easily into 170-180st. There all a lot of BBQ, etc, even Korean bars (sake, etc) and clubs.

In midtown east, there is also Korean Palace at 54th b/w Park and Lex which is good. As a beginner, be sure to try all of the little appetizers they bring out at the start of the mean (panchan), and I would suggest bibimbop as a traditional Korean dish. Watch out for the chiles in whatever you're eating. Good luck. Tue Apr 29 13:26:00 -0700 2003 1071832 0 Jkos 1 1072266 What about Kum Gang San? It's the one I currently go to.
