INSTAGRAM TRIBECA (VOL. 4)

THREE DELICIOUS WAYS TO WELCOME SPRING
Even though spring is around the corner, the infamous Tribeca wind will keep us wearing coats for a while. There’s only one thing to do—visit Kori Tribeca, where two dishes in particular will warm you up: bibimbap, the traditional rice dish that Kori serves sizzling in a hot stone bowl, and chicken janchi noodle soup, which is chicken broth with chicken breast, organic somen noodles, zucchini, carrots, egg, and spinach. And to drink, try a cocktail with housemade ginger-infused soju—it’ll definitely thaw you out. For more on these options and many others, read this post. Kori Tribeca is at 253 Church (between Franklin and Leonard), 212-334-0908, korinyc.com. Sponsored.
