For visitors to New York City who want a literally underground dining experience, there is a new restaurant by the name of Nōksu. Maybe we should explain a bit more: Nōksu is located inside of the Herald Square subway station, which is located at 49 West 32 Street, on the northeast corner of Broadway, in Manhattan. It is polished, refined Korean dining in an unexpected location, and it makes for an unforgettable dining experience for both locals and tourists alike. What can we say? It’s a restaurant in a subway station in New York City. Pretty cool! To learn more about this establishment, keep reading, below.

The restaurant is created by Day Kim, who is formerly of the legendary fine dining establishment per se. It serves a 12-course tasting menu at $225 per head. Getting into the restaurant is as much fun as the meal: visitors who have secured a reservation use a pin code to enter the spot’s metal door.

The establishment used to be both a newsstand and a barbershop, and visitors don’t have to actually go through the subway turnstile to enter. As for the food itself? It will dazzle.

The space is both contemporary and traditional—it is sleek but still grounded in traditional Korean art and design components.
