Summary

Description

Update: sadly, this establishment closed its doors on New Year's Day 2015.

On a chilly evening, Korean beef stock soup, Seolleongtang (설렁탕), is a very good idea. I have left Greenwich Village and its Halloween parade to do some karaoke to wrap up the night (and my New York visit), and since I am in the vicinity of Koreatown, Seolleongtang is as perfect it gets.

And when it comes to that particular dish, there is no better place to eat it than Gahm Mi Oak, 43 West 32nd Street, which specializes in Seolleongtang and only sells soups. (At least unlimited steam rice and kimchi are included - and both are heavenly.)

Back in the 1990s, I remember paying $6.93 plus tax for a bowl. But this particular evening, I will be looking at more like $12.95. It is still a pretty good price.

The Koreatown in Manhattan is primarily made up of restaurants and karaoke bars, though there is a grocery store as well; more "living" Koreatowns (ones with grocery stores and megachurches) are found in Flushing, Queens and in Bergen County, New Jersey. In the US, the Korean population in Greater New York City is second only to that of Southern California, and New York City proper actually has more Koreans than Los Angeles. Ethnic Koreans in New York differ from those in California in that they are more likely to be from the industrial, conservative Gyeongsang provinces, as opposed to the agricultural, historically feudal, and currently left-leaning Jeolla provinces.
