If You’re Going To Be In The East Village, You Must Try Out Thursday Kitchen

Thursday Kitchen is a casual spot that’s an interesting Korean style spot with French and Spanish influence, which means you’ll get a truly unique experience that should not be missed. So how did this place come up with such a creative take on food? Well, it’s all thanks to Chef proprietor Kyungmin Kay Hyun, who is from Busan, South Korea. She trained at the French Culinary Institute in NYC and has always been obsessed with Spanish food, which explains the amazing food at Thursday Kitchen.

You might also be wondering why it’s called that, and the answer is simple: “You may be wondering, “Why Thursday?” Typically, the weekend seems to start on Fridays, making Thursday night plans uncertain. At Thursday Kitchen, we want to turn that uncertain feeling into a kind of excitement that only we can offer with our quality of food, service, and overall good vibe,” the restaurant’s website explains.
