Koreatown, New York
Share
Koreatown is one of New York City’s lesser-known neighbourhoods. Just a block long, the epicentre of K-town, as it is known locally, is on 32nd Street between Broadway and Fifth Avenue.
The main drag is jam-packed with restaurants, beauty salons, karaoke bars, bookstores and overseas branches of domestic Korean banks. Plastic food displays and a little splash of neon beckon pedestrians passing through.
Unlike other New York City enclaves (think Chinatown or Little Italy), Koreatown in Manhattan isn’t a neighbourhood in the residential sense. But you will see real estate ads for property in Queens’ Koreatown, its much larger big sister.
K-town won’t disappoint foodies. Everything from traditional Korean BBQ restaurants to more trendy minimalist venues that would look right at home below 14th Street can be found here. There are also plenty of on-the-go self-serve places. Many restaurants are open 24 hours.
Koreatown is nestled near two major tourist destinations – the Empire State Building and Macy’s. To get there take the B, D, F, V, N, Q, R, or W trains to 34th Street.
