"Take 31 is a Korean restaurant on 31st Street from the same people behind Her Name is Han and Nonono - and if you know what to order here, you’ll easily impress whoever you’re having dinner with. First off, get a stew for the table. It comes in a big metal pan with a flame underneath, and it’ll be enough for two people. Next, get a jar of makgeolli, a Korean rice wine they blend into slushy form with things like peach and banana. At this point, you should be doing just fine, although getting a seafood pancake too isn’t a bad idea. Just be sure to get here early, because it fills up fast (they don’t take reservations)." - bryan kim, matt tervooren
