Koreatown
For kimchi and karaoke, it's hard to beat
Koreatown
(E5; 31st to 36th Sts & Broadway to Fifth Ave; B/D/F/
M, N/Q/R to 34th St-Herald Sq) . Mainly concentrated on 32nd St, with some spillover into the surrounding
streets both south and north of this strip, it's a Seoulful mix of Korean-owned restaurants, shops, salons and spas.
Authentic barbecue is available around the clock at many of the all-night spots on 32nd St, some with micro-
phones, video screens and Manic Monday at the ready.

Marseille
$$$
Looking somewhere between an old cinema lobby and an art deco brasserie, this Hell's
Kitchen classic is a fabulous spot to kick back with a Le Pamplemousse cocktail and
nibble on flavor-packed French-Med fare like Provencal goat cheese tart or Tuscan chick-
en with truffle jus.

with brisket and scallion).

Shake Shack

Yet another branch of Danny Meyer's cultishly popular burger chain, a fry-flick away
from Times Square and Broadway theaters. Join the queue for butter-soft buns stuffed
with top-notch fillings, hand-cut fries and frozen custards.
