Korean Lunch on Friday

Sarah

Okay ML'ers I'm going out for a rare sit-down lunch with my boyfriend on Friday (all his parent teacher conferences are done by 11am... what a jerk) and he wants Korean. Fortunately for all, I work on 35th St btw 5th and 6th!

I want to break out of my Woorjip rut, and kind of want to try BiBimBap in a stone pot. I was thinking maybe HanBat? But, I wanted to know what more experienced Korean food eaters recommend in the area.

    Parent teacher conference? You're dating a 9 yr older?

    (BCD and Seoul Garden are my favs)

    or since you are a veggie just take some winter cabbage from the planters by Macys and make kimchi.

    Its true, I'm already getting overwhelmed. But mostly bc this is a big departure from me just grabbing a package at kimbap at woorjip. This is like *real* Korean food. But I do like that so many of these rec's are on my block.

    also @ Chris: I think 90% of his motivation to come eat lunch in K-Town is so he can go to Jim Hanley's afterwards. So yes. I think I *am* dating a 9 yr old.

    and @ Steve: I already got a jar of Macy's kale buried in a planter, just waiting for springtime!

    @Sarah: Woah! Another comic shop...and it's more on my way home than Midtown, sweet!

    I enjoyed Cho Dang Gol's spicy kimchi & tofu dish. so 2nd. Still have to get use to eating the 'rice crust' though.

    I have Woorijip kimbap waiting for me to devour during Dinner. Totally not my usual course.
