Kim.
When she moved to New Haven in late 1978, Yoon-ock Kim — then fully intending on returning to Korea — missed the tastes of home.
There was the salt and spice of certain dishes she couldn’t find in New Haven, not quite the culinary mix of flavors and cultures it is today. Familiar ingredients were missing from Italian markets that dotted Orange Street. So when she found a small Asian grocer in East Rock with the things she wanted to eat, she and the owner became fast friends.
When that owner decided to leave seven years later, Kim acted on an instinct: Taking over the business seemed like the right thing to do.

It was another Saturday at the corner of Whitney Avenue and Lawrence Street: Rain did not deter the anti-abortion protesters who maintained their weekly protest outside Planned Parenthood, complete with graphic images of dead fetuses; or supporters of Planned Parenthood, who have been showing up to counter the protests and argue that the agency is one of the city’s main sources of affordable health care for women.
