Gomi Korean Wine Bar

"Gomi, a cool Korean wine and soju bar on Avenue A, is back to hosting their regularly scheduled oyster parties this Wednesday, October 20th. Here’s how it works: show up after 5pm, shuck your own $1.25 oysters, keep count of how many you’ve eaten, and pay on an honor system. If you don’t have an oyster shucking glove, you can BYO-rubber gardening gloves or buy a pair for $1. They’ll also be offering a full menu of japchae, chicken wings, some Brazilian snacks, and drinks - none of which require shucking. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"After speaking with police about damages to East Village Korean wine bar Gomi, owner Rafael Kim says that they recommended that he put plywood over the restaurant’s front windows to protect the business, but Kim is hesitant to take that step. Takeout and delivery sales have already been slow amid the pandemic — boarding up the windows, Kim says, might deter potential customers even further." - Serena Dai
