"Jefferson St. L Unless you have an extra invite to Chloe Sevigny’s fashion week party or something, you could go weeks without seeing your friends in the winter. Entice them with a night out at Nowon, steps from the L in Bushwick. This Korean restaurant serves variations on carbs, meat, and cheese that are much more exciting than another delivery pizza. There’s pizzas with gochujang red sauce and KBBQ mushrooms, chopped cheese rice cakes, a burger with kimchi special sauce, and more. After drinking a few cocktails under Nowon’s neon red lights, surrounded by Ashanti videos on the warehouse walls, you’ll remember why it’s still worth it to break out the big puffer once in a while.
