It's one of the hardest questions for a food critic to answer: "Where do I find a decent place to eat around Penn Station/Madison Square Garden?" Between the bright lights, stalled traffic, clamoring tourists and dense skyscrapers, New York's transportation and commercial hub isn't pretty, and accessible, edible options near there are few. If you're prepared to experiment in Koreatown, or walk far enough, options do exist. Otherwise be prepared to make serious culinary compromises.
