Koreatown is a compact ethnic Korean area in midtown Manhattan. It's known for its many Korean barbecue restaurants, karaoke bars, and retail shops. But its most famous resident is the Empire State Building, built in 1931, which held the record for the world's tallest skyscraper until 1970. Much of the area is commercial, though there are some large apartment buildings.
Koreatown is bordered on the north by Midtown, on the east by Murray Hill, on the south by NoMad, and on the west by Chelsea.
