From Michelin rated fine dining to corner stands, New York City food culture is well-known for its diversity and international influences. In the busiest parts of town, like Times Square, the options tend to be chain restaurants and fast food, but branch out to the surrounding neighborhoods or a few subway stops away, and you'll be sure to find something unique. Unofficial neighborhoods like Korea Town near Herald Square or Little India along Lexington Avenue are excellent destinations for ethnic food experiences. If you're looking for something trendy and contemporary, Williamsburg and the East Village are booming with small, hip restaurants.

This little restaurant and bar has a mix of chinese, Japanese, and Korean “snacky” foods. All cheap (nothing is over $8.75) and yummy. You will want to get a taste of most of the menu and wash it down with one of their sake or beers. During my last visit they only had a beer and wine license so they improvise by making inventive sake cocktails. Read more ›
