"Pregaming a Madison Square Garden concert at this homey Korean restaurant is perhaps my greatest move yet. And also, soup is king in my opinion, soothing on cold days, and filling on hot summer ones. A friend and I went to Her Name Is Han because it was within walking distance from the venue, and we've somewhat started a new tradition of getting soupy meals before concerts."
"The server thoughtfully steered us away from the pancakes because it was made with shrimp (my friend is a vegetarian). She went for the bibimbap with tofu, while I went all out with hella huge budae hot pot ($38), a beautiful, simmering pool of veggie broth with swimming hams, rice cakes, ramen vegetables, melted cheese, AND beans. It was just the thing I needed to fortify myself before singing and dancing to Haim."
"As we transition out of summer, I enjoy salads with a little more heft and this one ($26) at the popular Upper East Side brasserie is particularly luxurious. Served just above room temperature, it is loaded with plump, sweet Gulf shrimp that pair perfectly with creamy avocado, crisp little gem hearts, and heirloom beefsteak tomatoes, all lightly dressed with a tangy carrot ginger dressing."
A pre-concert visit to a homey Korean restaurant centered on soup as a comforting, season-transcending choice. Her Name Is Han offered a mix of bibimbap with tofu and a hella huge budae hot pot ($38): a simmering veggie broth with hams, rice cakes, ramen vegetables, melted cheese, and beans that fortified the diner ahead of a concert. A server redirected the party from shrimp pancakes due to a vegetarian companion. On the Upper East Side, a $26 salad combined plump Gulf shrimp, creamy avocado, gem hearts, heirloom beefsteak tomatoes, tangy carrot-ginger dressing, apple smoked bacon, toasted breadcrumbs, and green tobiko caviar.
