NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE WEEK: Koreatown, NYC

Koreatown, or K-Town, is an ethnic Korean enclave in Midtown Manhattan, centered on West 32nd Street between Madison Avenue and the intersection of Sixth Avenue and Broadway, which is known as Greeley Square. The neighborhood features over 150 businesses of various types and sizes, ranging from small restaurants and beauty salons to large branches of Korean banking firms. Naturally, there are plenty of Korean barbecues, but also of interest are Asian dessert shops, cutting-edge karaoke and a bookstore that sells Korean-language literature.

If you are an Asian food fan and rich, K-Town is the perfect spot for you: easy transportation, endless nightlives, and AMAZING Korean food all over the place. The rent can fluctuate dramatically here but if you are lucky enough, you may be able to find a studio around $2,000 per month.
