Would it possibly be a good idea to merge Korea Way into this rather short article? -- Visviva 09:21, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone have a photo of the "Korea Way" street sign post? ( http://www.google.ch/search?q=Korea%20Way%2032nd%20street%20Manhattan%20new%20york&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1711&bih=879 ). And does anyone know whether the name Korea Way is informally or officially? (say, did the mayor's office designed it? or is it just a touristy thing?) Thanks. 85.1.41.185 ( talk) 13:42, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
This sentence is confusing. "Manhattan's Koreatown was once focused on fulfilling the needs of the burgeoning Korean-American community in the New York City metropolitan area, an estimated 201,393 individuals, according to the 2009 American Community Survey, and the second largest ethnic Korean population outside of Korea." What does it mean? That figure of 201,393 tries to sound like the population of Manhattan's Koreatown is 201,393, but if you look at the source, it is the aggregate Korean population of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. This is area is many thousand times the area of Koreatown. I believe it should be edited or left out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.20.190.133 ( talk) 19:21, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Originally in October of 1995 Local Law No. 85 changed the name of Broadway between 31st and 32nd Streets. (Proceedings of the Council of the City of New York Vol. ii part ii. July 19, 1995 to December 20 1995, pages 2888, 3723-3724) It should be noted that the district actually developed from the Korean wholesalers who moved to B'way to be near the fashion district (selling Korean wigs, accessories, clothes, and other goods) and that the bookstore and restaurants sprung up to support these businesses. I am looking for info on when and why Korea Way was moved to 32nd St. Anyone have that info? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.47.110.49 ( talk) 15:56, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
1) Is it constructive, reasonable, or neither to include the qualifier "Midtown" in parentheses after "Manhattan" in the infobox?
2) Is it constructive, reasonable, or neither to include the statement "According to the 2000 Census, a slightly larger area including Koreatown was 46 percent Asian," referenced by [1] in the History or Demography section?
Thanks, Castncoot ( talk) 14:56, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
There is no "judgment call" involved here. "Asians" includes Japanese, Indians, Mongolians, Tartars, Uzbeks, Chinese etc etc etc as well as Koreans. That a district which includes Koreatown is "46% Asian" says nmothing relevant about an ethnic Korean enclave. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 00:52, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
ScottyBerg is still an active editor, and would be the logical choice to go to for an opinion, if you weren't actually canvassing, which you obviously were.
You are right about one thing, though - that this discussion no longer serves any real purpose. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 21:34, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

According to our article "Koreatown...has been expanding further eastward from Fifth Avenue along East 32nd Street, toward Madison Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, in the direction of Queens." Why is Queens mentioned here? If you went far enough east, you would indeed reach Queens (after crossing the East River and part of Brooklyn), so it's not false, but is it relevant? Is there an implied connection to the Korean neighborhood in Flushing? I feel that the reference to Queens will be meaningless to people unfamiliar with New York's geography, and unnecessary to those who are. pburka ( talk) 03:51, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
