Black Emperor Bar

With so much competition amongst bars, a standout food program can be a way to differentiate a new business. East Village’s newly-opened bōsōzoku-inspired spot, Black Emperor  has Korean food pop-ups by  him (run by Jae Lee, an alum of Dale Talde’s old Bowery Hotel restaurant). Yuzu guacamole and fried chicken sandos with gochujang sauce bring a new hungry (and hopefully thirsty) customer base to the dive.
