Just got my copy of The New Yorker and was happy to find Helen Rosner’s article about Meju. Hidden in the back of Little Banchan Shop in Long Island City, Queens, Meju offers an exclusive dining experience for only 32 lucky people each week. Chef Hooni Kim transforms his kitchen into a stage, where Korean cuisine's artfully and passionately presented.

Besides being home to delicious Korean side dishes, and Meju, Little Banchan Shop is where you can get pints of Alleyway Ice Cream.
