  Abalone Soondubu at BCD – NYC

  Since BCD Tofu House on 32nd Street moved a few doors down earlier this year, there’s been a few changes. First, lots of space! There are now two floors for your soondubu-eating pleasure, and if you care of such things, more than one bathroom. Also, more banchan (Korean side dishes)! Along with the usual fried croaker, pickles, kimchi, and ojinguh jut (salted spicy squid), there’s a few more side dishes. Aside from the braised burdock root (우엉조림), nothing remarkable, but as always, much appreciated when it’s free. As for the menu, there are a few more items, most notably, the abalone soondubu jigae ($19.99). MORE »

  It started with a trip to The Donut Pub last Saturday for a round of doughnuts for David’s birthday. Then another trip two days later because our car battery died and after a jump we needed to drive the car around a bit, so hey, why not go to Donut Pub? Yesterday, another reason/excuse came up, so all in all, we both have a good start to our winter padding. MORE »

  So what’s the big deal about Empire Biscuit? Yes, they have biscuits all day long and soon will be open 24/7 (starting November 18), but do we need an all-day, all-biscuit restaurant in New York? MORE »
