"Myung Dong 1st Ave is one of the best spots for Korean food in a neighborhood known for its Korean food. This Allston venue is lively and fun — it’s always packed, and there are always K-Pop videos playing on the big screens lining the walls — and it’s an ideal place for a couple looking for a first date that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Try the kimchi fried rice or the soft tofu stew, and wash it all down with one of the city’s few $3 PBR tall boys." - Terrence Doyle
