Sik Gaek
We are not so proud here at NFT that we can't take a recommendation from someone else in our "industry" (whatever that is). So, we thank Anthony Bourdain for turning us on to one of the most unique dining experiences we've ever had, Sik Gaek in Flushing. The $79 seafood platter, heaped with noodles, veggies, shrimp, mussels, clams, squid, lobster, and a live octopus that slowly dies from the heat as you're blithely eating everything else, including the intense broth, is an experience not to be missed. Especially when it's accompanied by a mash-up of Korean and American pops hits blared loudly at you while you sip your cucumber soju and down Ob beer. The madness continues until 6 am. Crazy.
