Location

Korean WayIt is also called Korean Town

I arrived 10:45RomeO and MiaMaria arrived shortly after.

The staff was welcoming and friendly.Dumplings is their specialty

We sat in the back...

The conversation was fun. We compared Local Guides notes, our other lives, devices... then the food began to arrive

RomeO and MiaMaria

 We only ordered small dishes of dumplings.

Three varieties of dumplings...I thought we where going to go to try another restaurant and continue our meal...Prep & Cook...

but we just walked around and ended up...

Guess Where!!?

I had a very nice time...

📣 I want to take a moment and express my very special thanks and appreciation to @Osaka78forTRUMP and  @BudionoS for all their tireless support and encouragement.  

Without Osaka78, BudionoS, 

@PaulPavlinovich  @TraciC and @BruceDM I do not think I would have made as far as I did. 

I have at least a couple of more tries before I can claim to have had total success in Organizing, coordinating, and managing Meet-ups.

All and all at the end of the day it was a successful day for me and I hope the same for @RomeNYC and @MiaMaria 

Thank you RomeO for your beautiful Thank You note ✉ It was very nice meeting you as well.

🥁Happy Holidays to one and all 🎄🎊🕎🕉

May all your wishes come through 😄and your productive work pay off 🐘🐞

Hi @VBenedict - Glad to see it went well!  I am very familiar with that area you visited. Dumplings and Pizza make strange bedfellows haha. Thanks for sharing your pictures!

[VBenedict]

Greetings @BruceDM  thank you. Yes I very much would have liked to try a couple more restaurants... but it was bitterly cold out.

I believe we all had a lovely time.

BTW 🤔 I like the new format of questions about a place. Especially all of the optional answers presented. Great!

There are however a couple of ambiguous ones such as "does this place have seasonal decorations?"  Are you asking if they SELL seasonal decorations? Or are you asking if the place is seasonally decorated?

e.g., a restaurant could be seasonally decorated but would not normally have (sell) seasonal decorations. 

By the same token, a store like Macy's for example is seasonally decorated throughout the year and sells seasonal decorations.  

Do you see the ambiguity here?  The team needs to check for ambiguity.

[BruceDM]

Hi @VBenedict - Thanks for the feedback on the Q&A.  Regarding the question about seasonal decorations,  I would have interpreted it as if the place is decorated seasonally as opposed to selling decorations but I understand your concern.  The team that puts these questions together certainly works hard to not keep things open to interpretation and of course, if you do find anything that is a bit confusing, please feel free to select the option for not being sure instead 🙂

Hai @VBenedict thank you so much for participating to Word Wide Food Crawl Meet-up 2017. You hosted an awesome meet-up with fellow Local Guides in New York City. Fun conversation, good food and restaurant staff welcoming warmly, make this meet-up perfect.

I hope we can make it again in 2018 with the same theme: World Wide Food Crawl Meet-up 2018.

Again, thank you so much

Best regards

Budiono
