Signage alerts: Yumsen Eats on 1st Avenue

Signage arrived late this past week for Yumsem Eats at 109 First Ave., just south of Seventh Street.

According to the brand's website: "Experience the taste of authentic Korean street food with Yumsem Eats, where fresh, halal-certified ingredients meet the heart of Korean culture." 

There are three outposts in Tampa and one in Newark, N.J. The First Avenue location marks the first for NYC. You can check out the menu here. 

This also marks the end of Sammy's Halal, which had been closed for months following a second go-around from the storefront. 

Next door, signage recently went up for the Pizza Daa Napoli after the former home of SenYa, which closed after 10 years in January. (Photo below by Steven.)

    I'm curious to what halal has to do with authentic Korean street food.

      No spam or spicy pork.

      It says halal certified ingredients, means the chicken and beef were slaughtered the halal way, which still leaves me wonder about the connection to Korean cuisine.
