Many visitors to New York hunt out dim sum in Chinatown or cannoli in Little Italy, but fewer make it up to this tiny, food-obsessed neighbourhood. Korean Town (K-Town, to those in the know), is the best place in Manhattan to find authentic Korean cuisine.

While most of NYC's growing Korean-American population live in the outer boroughs (Flushing in Queens is another great kimchi spot!), in recent years K-Town has become a hot destination for foodies of all backgrounds. Most of the restaurants in K-Town are crammed into a single block - 32nd Street, between 5th and Broadway.

As if to make up for the lack of space, every floor of every building offers something different. If you look up you'll see adverts for bars, spas, holistic healers and even churches above every karaoke joint and book shop.

But what really draws the crowds to this part of town is the food. You're spoiled for choice: tabletop barbeques, freshly made dumplings or a steaming bowl of bibimbap? If you're new to Korean food there's plenty of picture menus and plastic models to help you out. Midtown East never looked so appetising.

Yummy!
