Koreans are known for their million taste buds, along with their authentic, traditional ways of cooking that boast a history of thousands of years. KGSA (The Korean Graduate Students Association) at Columbia and KANA (Korean Association of New York Artists) together present a Korean food tasting festival, 'HAN COOK,' on Sunday, April 13th at Furnald Plaza, Columbia University from 4pm to 8pm. Ranging from the famous Korean Barbecue, Korean fusion and Traditional Korean food, there will be every piece of Korean food provided by the choice restaurants from Korea towns in Greater NYC.
To keep the Korean spirit high, various types of Korean alcohol shots will also be served with behind-the-bar performances every hour. A representative Korean alcoholic brand, Jinro Hite, will be sponsoring the most famous spirits to spice up the Sunday night for the Columbia community. In the effort to introduce the trendiest Korean restaurants in NYC, KGSA and KANA believe that this festival will be your New York Korean Food Directory where you can taste it and enjoy it before you hit the subway.
