About kids' events in Koreatown
Manhattan's Koreatown is a tight cluster of blocks around West 32nd Street in Midtown, packed with Korean restaurants, bakeries, and shops that stack floor after floor above street level. It reads more like a commercial district than a quiet neighborhood, so come in knowing that: sidewalks are busy on weekday afternoons, and even busier on weekends when the food crowd shows up. That said, it's an easy place to get to with a stroller. The 34th Street-Herald Square subway stop is right there, served by more than half a dozen train lines, so you can get in and out without a car. Greeley Square Park sits at the bottom of the block, a small landscaped plaza good for a snack break and some room to breathe. For a real playground run, you'll want to walk a few blocks to Madison Square Park to the south, which has a dedicated play area and a little more room to spread out. The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library on Fifth Avenue, about ten minutes on foot, has a dedicated children's zone worth knowing about. NYC Parks brings programming to the area, so the event calendar here can surprise you.
