There's a cheap Korean take out place called Kofoo that carries a lot of kim bob. It's nowhere near me so I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but I tried it a few times in the summer and would recommend it. I love Japanese sushi but I really wish there were more places selling kim bob.

Interesting analysis of the history of kimbap but you are wrong on two points. 1. Japan and Korea did not develop it side by side. Japan was influenced by Korea in many ways including food. 2. Regarding the term "Spartan Food", if you watch any TLC show on sushi you would know that Japanese Sushi was developed out of convience. Because it was handy and easy to eat it was considered to be fast food back then. I recommend you read a book on the origins of Japanese culture, you will quickly learn that Japan owes alot of their development to China and Korea. Here something I found to get you started. http://www1.korea-np.co.jp/pk/045th_issue/98060303.htm

Of course, there's the whole Japan occupying Korea issue for the first half of the 20th century.

there is a flushing rest on 149 pl one block southof roosevelt which is called "live seafood" which is across the street from the LIRR station called murray hill, and LET ME TELL YOU THEY SERVE REAL KOREAN SUSHI, LIVE. THESE GUYS KILL THE FISH WHEN YOU ORDER IT, AND FILLET IT AND BRING IT ON A PLATE TO YOU. YOU WANT TO TRY LIVE, JUST KILLED BUT STILL WIGGLING OCTUPUS? WELL THEN THEY ARE JUST KILLED, THE SUCKERS ON THE TENTICLES CONTINUE TO LIVE FOR A LONG TIME, > 1 HOUR AND YOU CAN SWALLOW WIGGLEING FOOD, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE.
