New Hell's Kitchen Restaurants: Korean Food, Event Space

HELL'S KITCHEN, NY — A grill serving up Korean food and a large new event venue are among the food-related businesses planning to open in Hell's Kitchen in the coming months.

The pair of businesses are set to be presented Tuesday to Community Board 4's business license and permits committee as their owners sought the board's approval to obtain alcohol licenses.

They come on top of at least 19 other new restaurants and bars that Patch has reported on over the past few months, as the industry attempts to rebound from the pandemic.

Here are the two new businesses we learned about this week:

Bulbap Grill (746 10th Ave., near West 51st Street):

• A Korean restaurant with locations in Brooklyn and New Jersey, Bulbap Grill will open a Hell's Kitchen outpost in the storefront formerly home to the Japanese restaurant Method.
• Open daily from 12–9 p.m., the small restaurant will seat just 10 people at tables, plus five by the bar.
• Menu items will include rice bowls, Korean fried chicken, soup and noodle dishes, Korean-styled tacos and burritos, and burgers, according to materials submitted to the board.

Scoozi Events (505 West 37th St., near 10th Avenue)

• A caterer based on the Upper West Side, Scoozi plans to open up a new catering and event space at the ground floor of TF Cornerstone's 44-story building near Hudson Yards.
• It will replace another business with a similar purpose, Mercantile 37 Catering Event Space.
• Scoozi's hours will depend on bookings, which will be available daily from 10 a.m.–midnight. The venue has a capacity of up to 243 people indoors, plus between 50 and 75 in an outside space.

Other applicants that will be discussed at the community board this week include the Grand Hyatt Hotel on West 39th Street, which applied for a new liquor license as it plans to add an enclosed patio with food and drink service.
