Places to Meet and Date Korean Guys in New York City

New York City is believed to have one of the largest multiracial populations among all the cities of the world. People from all over the planet come here to work, study and live. In fact it is quite easy to find love too, if they know where to look. So if you are eager to meet and date Korean guys in particular, here are some places you can explore.

1. Check out the Korean neighborhoods
   
   Like other major cities of the world with a history of Korean immigration, New York City too has certain pockets with Korean majority. This could be because newly-arrived Koreans found it easier to adapt to a strange city in the company of their own people. So head to the Korea Town in New York City; this will place you in an environment with numerous Koreans and give you the opportunity to socialize. In New York City, the Koreatown, or K-town as it is colloquially known, is a  neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan, that is generally bordered by 31st and 36th Streets and Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenues. Its location in Midtown Manhattan is close to the Empire State Building and Macy's at Herald Square. Another New York City neighborhood with dense Korean population is the Koreatown in Flushing, Queens Borough as well as Bergen County in New Jersey. However Manhattan’s Koreatown acts as a central point for the overall Korean American population which is in fact estimated at 201,393 in the Greater New York Combined Statistical Area -  the second largest population of ethnic Koreans outside of Korea.

3. Sample the Korean restaurants
   
   One of the most effective ways to meet single Korean guys is to explore restaurants and eating joints which are sure to attract men eager for the smells and tastes of traditional food. Among the best known Korean restaurants in New York City are Shilla Barbecue House at 37 West 32nd Street, Do Hwa-Authentic Korean BBQ Restaurant at 55 Carmine Street, Madangsui at 35 West 35th St New York and Kori in 253 Church Street. Other places which are popular with the Korean population for traditional food and fast service are Kangsuh Restaurant at 1250 Broadway, Bann at 350 West 50th Street as well as Cho Dang Gol at the 55 W 35th Street. While some of the above places are fine-dining destinations and thus could require considerable expense on your part to meet the frequent guests, most offer takeaways and fast food options where you could mingle with diners in a more casual atmosphere. Bon Chon Chicken for instance has several outlets spread out all over New York City where a lot of regulars gather. In fact along the Korea Way, there are several restaurants which serve both traditional or regional Korean cuisine and fusion fare. Around twelve restaurants conduct business on Korea Way that are open at all hours of the day. Once you spy someone you like, you could strike up a conversation over the comparative merits of delicious items in Korean cuisine like kimchi, Banchan and amju.
    
4. Frequent Korean-themed hangouts
   
   Apart from Korean restaurants, nightclubs and bars where Koreans gather are some of the best places to meet guys who are available for dating. In Koreatown and particularly along the Korean Way, there are several discos and noraebang bars which feature karaoke entertainment. One of the most famous of these is Maru on 32nd Street, right in the center of Manhattan's Koreatown. The place is striking for its lounge, furnished in white with neon lights and the glass floors, which has two bars, each on its own floor - the Flashy Club Bar with a dance floor and the Classy Night Bar with dim blue lighting. One of the most popular clubs in the whole of New York City is the Circle nightclub at 135 W, 41st St in the theater district. Music is provided by a live DJ and the sound is usually a mix of top 40 hits and Korean pop. However there is a strict dress code; no athletic wear, tennis shoes or sandals are allowed. Yet another place you should check out is the Third Floor Cafe is a Korean lounge and nightclub in the Murray Hill. The lounge is known for its happy hour specials and drink deals; in fact, you could find a lot of two-for-one deals here. Weekends feature live DJs and dance parties, and the cover charge varies depending on the event. Third Floor Cafe is open late seven days a week and so is ideal for working professionals who cannot make it early evening.
    
5. Go online
   
   These days there are numerous dating sites which cater to the needs of particular ethnic and cultural groups. So look through Korean dating websites and join one which is suited to your requirements. The advantage of this is that you don’t need to stir out of your home to find a Korean guy to date. However make sure that you specify the geographical area from which you would like to meet prospective partners which in your case would be New York City. Also keep in mind the safety tips applicable to online dating in general.
