Honestly, you should go to Los Angeles if you want excellent Korean food outside Korea, but as a New Yorker, I make do with Gam Mee Ok. Our Koreatown in midtown Manhattan is so small it's referred to as Koreablock, but at least you can find really good solontang after a night of drinking and partying. Solontang is bone marrow soup and it's Gam Mee Ok's specialty. They have vats in the kitchen where they slow-cook bone marrow to ensure the most flavorful broth. It's the best hangover cure. Just sprinkle a little salt and scallions and enjoy the rice and noodles floating in there.
