korea palace

okay, so it's a little disappointing to blog about korea palace right after writing up my two paragraphs on sorella. it's midtown. it's close to work. it's korean food. there's really not much more to say than that. is korean food better in k-town? yes. do i wish that sorella was in midtown? yes. but what can you do?

thankfully korea palace is a great place to meet up with similarly-midtown-bound friends. lin and i had a fun lunch chatting over oxtail soup and naeng myun noodles (my icy spicy soup - refreshing as always). i suggest getting to the restaurant around noon because any later and you'll either have to wait for a table or you'll get stuck in the back room. if you're craving bi bim bap and you're stuck in midtown east (you know who you are) - they also serve a decent bi bim bap in a hot stone bowl. otherwise, hop on the subway and head down to 32nd street.
