For vacation, B and I decided to go to New York. I've never been to the East Coast. It is our third full day here and I have yet to land myself in a pastry shop of some sort and sample a croissant. Trying to see everything that we can in the few days that we have here has made it a little challenging to get to that. But, we have been to some great eateries.
We had our eye on the Mandoo Bar ever since we saw a segment on it on Food Network's "The Secret Life of..." What is mandoo? Mandoo is Korean dumplings, usually steamed or pan-fried. This little hole in the wall has a store front kitchen where you can see the women in the kitchen stuff the different mandoo. Mmm.. fresh mandoo! We ordered two orders of pork mandoo, one friend and one boiled. It was quite tasty, but it doesn't beat my mother-in-law's dumplings.
The Mondoo Bar is in Korea Way, a one block stretch on 32nd Avenue, not to far from the Empire State Building.

The Mandoo Bar was great. Not as good as my mom's, but then again does anything beat home cooking?
Still it receives my stamp of approval as an acceptable Korean eating establishment.
