Threads of Flavor: Gochujang Wings & The Silk Road Inspiration at The Ragtrader

At The Ragtrader, every dish tells a story—and our newest addition to the menu is no exception.

Located in the heart of NYC’s historic Garment District, The Ragtrader pays homage to the neighborhood’s rich legacy of craftsmanship and culture. It’s a place where ideas and influences have always intersected, stitched together by creativity and curiosity. That same spirit is now woven into our menu, which takes inspiration from the Silk Road—the ancient trade route that connected East and West, not just through fabric and goods, but through flavors, spices, and techniques.

Enter our new Gochujang Chicken Wings: crispy, craveable, and brimming with bold flavor. Coated in a rich Korean gochujang glaze, garnished with scallion and sesame, and served with a refreshing side of marinated cucumber, they strike a beautiful balance—sweet, spicy, savory, and cool.

Just like the Silk Road, this dish is a cross-cultural journey on a plate. It blends fiery Korean heat with classic comfort, paying tribute to culinary traditions that span continents—while staying rooted in the storytelling and style that define The Ragtrader.

So whether you're here for cocktails, conversation, or just a damn good plate of wings, let our kitchen take you somewhere unexpected.

These wings are your ticket.
The Ragtrader is your port of departure.
