Dons Bogam is an interesting combination of Korean BBQ and a wine bar in the middle of Koreatown. The restaurant has a very modern and chic décor where you can sample a wide range of Korean foods. The façade is made of glass rectangles framed with metallic supports, allowing you to see the atmosphere inside the restaurant.

This little restaurant is a very charming spot to enjoy a brunch with the family on Sundays. I have also been there for dinner and I know lunch is available as well. A few blocks from Columbia University, Flat Top is always busy with young and less young people.

Have I already mentioned that I love NYC? Well, I do, and what I love is this kind of place that you can only find in Manhattan.

Rebelle in NoLIta is a French restaurant in an industrial-chic-style space; a mix of concrete and brick walls; visible black pipes in the ceiling; the bar is made from white marble and is the only element that is bright. It contrasts with the rest of the restaurant, emphasizing the industrial look.
