Orion String Quartet Opens Chamber Music Pittsburgh Series; Korean Specialties at Nak Won Garden (Mon., 10/2/17)

1) Chamber Music Pittsburgh’s 57th annual subscription series at the Carnegie Music presents the second concert of its season tonight with a performance by Orion String Quartet with Tara O’Connor, flute. The quartet is composed of: Daniel Phillips, violin; Todd Phillips, violin; Steven Tenenbom, viola; and Timothy Eddy, cello. The group and O’Connor will play a program of orchestra music by Mozart, Kirchner, and Dvořák. 7:30 p.m. 4400 Fifth Ave., Oakland.

2) Perhaps you’ve seen the line for seating stretched out the door. Nak Won Garden, located next to Giant Eagle’s Market District, is the hottest Korean restaurant in the city right now. It’s also a family affair. Chung-Chu Yi and his sister and her daughter all help to run the establishment. They promise more traditional dishes, but, no worries, they have plenty of kimchi and that Korean BBQ Americans love. Pittsburghers, meanwhile, love Nak Won Garden. As for vegetarians, the menu asks to simply “Lettuce know before ordering.” Gotta love a restaurant with a sense of humor. 5504 Centre Ave., Shadyside. (CM)
