Though only one city block long, Korea Way features stores and restaurants on multiple stories, with small, independently-run establishments reaching up to the third or fourth floors. This set-up differs from most of commercial Manhattan, where stores usually occupy only the ground floor, with a small frequency of second-floor walk-ups. There are other Korean establishments scattered in the area as well, though of course at a lesser concentration than on Korea Way proper. The street is also casually referred to as "Koreatown", though its just a part of the Koreatown neighborhood.External links
