The author, who is studying abroad at Georgetown, conducted close on-site reporting and continuously updated information until just before publication, capturing the vivid New York of this very moment.
The author, known as a 'taste expert', quickly captured the trends popular in New York and reflected them in 'Real New York'.
We introduce Michelin-starred restaurants themed around Korean cuisine, a current trend in New York fine dining, and also feature representative Korean restaurants in Koreatown that are popular among locals thanks to the K-food craze.
We've carefully selected a variety of restaurants in New York, home to delicious cuisine from around the world, and re-introduced them to reflect the latest trends.

Where the world's most delicious foods gather
What to eat in New York?

New York is a city that is often called a melting pot, and is made up of immigrants from various places.
You can tell just by looking at the place names: Little Italy, Chinatown, Koreatown.
Perhaps that's why you can savor iconic cuisines from around the world, from upscale steakhouses to the iconic New York slice pizza, affordable and delicious Chinese food, tacos even better than the locals, and even the latest Korean trend, all in one place.
With so many different restaurants in New York, it can be overwhelming to decide what to eat.
The author has personally experienced and carefully selected restaurants, sometimes from the perspective of a local and sometimes from the perspective of a traveler, and introduced them in 『Real New York』.

Instead of complicated place names that only add to the confusion,
Introducing New York with Easy-to-Understand Geographical Breakdowns

I've heard of Soho, Harlem, Wall Street, and other places, but it's not easy to figure out where they are just by looking at the place names.
The most important thing in a guidebook is to grasp the concept of the region.
When we say 'New York', we usually think of Manhattan, but in 'Real New York', Manhattan is divided into Uptown, Midtown, and Downtown according to location.
In particular, the book lists them in the order of Midtown-Downtown-Uptown based on the frequency with which travelers visit, rather than by location.
Each region is divided into three sections to help travelers understand the location and regional concepts of their destination at a glance.

Prepare for your New York trip with 『Real New York』

As a global metropolis, New York City has high costs of living, which can make planning a trip daunting.
Too much information can be confusing.
In such cases, you can simply follow the D-Day preparation list presented in 『Real New York』 step by step.
It provides clear guidance on where to stay and also includes a list of great accommodations recommended by the author based on his own experience.
It also provides guidance on which apps are helpful for traveling and how to respond in an SOS situation.

Brooklyn, Coney Island, Queens, and the Bronx
Full coverage of the Manhattan suburbs

If your New York trip is a bit longer, consider spending a day or so in a less touristy area of ​​Manhattan to enjoy a leisurely time like a local.
There are many hidden attractions in the suburbs of Manhattan, including the trendy and hip downtown Brooklyn (Downtown, Williamsburg), Coney Island with its amusement park and ocean view, Queens with JFK International Airport, and the Bronx with Yankee Stadium, all with their own unique charm.
If Manhattan is a city for city travelers, then suburban travel is a trip that allows you to get one step closer to the daily lives of locals.
Let's go beyond simply exploring tourist attractions and delve into the daily lives of New Yorkers.
