About Site

Welcome to our site! This spot is dedicated to studying Korean culture, particularly on Staten Island. Being two Chinese-Americans, who enjoy Korean cuisine and music, we explored this different ethnicity by visiting the only Korean restaurant on the island and the grocery store located next to it. Through this site, you will discover information about Korean customs, the population’s statistics on Staten Island, and some popular culture of Korea.
