Threshold Shines a Light on Korean Fare in Livingston Manor

Led by three friends in picturesque Sullivan County, Threshold makes Korean fare approachable to guests while honoring the flavors of the cuisine.

Nestled on a quiet street in Sullivan County’s Livingston Manor, an unexpected portal between two mountain ranges has emerged. Threshold, the area’s first Korean restaurant, connects the rugged beauty of the Catskills with the mountainside restaurants that dot the periphery of Seoul—creating something entirely its own. It all began with a friendship forged in the vibrant restaurant scenes of Chicago and New York. Owners Cam Shaw and Thom Chun met while working together—first with Shaw running the front of house while Chun worked in the kitchen, then as beverage director and chef, respectively. Over the years, they built a shared vision of what hospitality, both for guests and employees, could be. Once Shaw met their now husband and co-owner Pete Choo, a corporate consultant by trade, the trio was complete. The journey to Livingston Manor was sparked, like many pandemic-era stories, with an Airbnb stay in 2021. “We first came up here in 2021 when my sister-in-law rented an Airbnb in Roscoe for my little brother’s 30th,” recalls Shaw, who grew up in rural Michigan and spent time in the Southern Appalachians. The natural beauty of the area resonated deeply, and after nearly 15 years in Chicago and New York City, they set their sights on the Hudson Valley.
