"If you’re overwhelmed by the options on this list, let us make things easier. Head to Samwoojung and eat beef. There are other things on the menu at this Korean spot on 32nd, but it’s a bulgogi house run by bulgogi specialists, so your choice is pretty much made. The bulgogi here is different than at other Korean BBQ spots—it’s piled on a copper vessel, and cooked in a sweet and peppery soy broth at your table. Get a smaller portion for a casual, pre-Amtrak meal, or a larger one for a group dinner that’ll result in a slew of empty soju bottles, and a spur-of-the-moment ticket purchase to Madison Square Garden." - bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick
