New NYC Restaurant: Persimmon
If you're as into Korean cuisine as we are, don't miss this week's pick from Momofuku alum Youngsun Lee. Persimmon is the keyed-down version of Momo, featuring a seasonal, prix fixe menu (just $37!) that changes bi-weekly and also revolves heavily around one ingredient.
There are three choices per course, and the old favorites (kimchi, pork belly, pickled anything) still pop up time and again to keep you happy.
We hear the space is much more serene than Momofuku, too. (Lee studied graphic design and gets the aesthetic thing.) You'll have to like dining with strangers, though: There's just one long 20-seat communal-style table and an open kitchen.
