Korean

Korean food in New York has graduated from Koreatown-on-32nd-Street to a city-wide scene with three Michelin stars in play. Jungsik in Tribeca is the two-star modern-Korean tasting standard. COTE in Flatiron made the Korean steakhouse a New York genre. Kochi in Hell's Kitchen is the Michelin-starred royal-court skewer counter, a sleeper hit.
