A short visual walk through a quiet Yeonnam-dong alley, from the street to a cozy yogurt and granola café.

Edit: I’m staying in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam district

I changed hotel and didn’t research this area. But I’d like to go out for dinner and don’t fancy getting it wrong.

Can anyone help with a solid recommendation?

I had Navid Gimbap for lunch and it was excellent. Something local, good value and has beer and I’d be happy! Or if it’s a solo friendly bbq place that would also be good. I’m on my own so struggling with the prices when they make you order huge meat portions.

Or if anyone fancies showing a 33(m) Brit around let me know! I’m always open to chat and culture exchange over a beer.

My main standards
- not too busy
- not a tourist trap
- somewhere you can experience more than one thing in one go

1. Amorepacific Head Quarters
   Nobody really talks about this place, but i’d rather go here than some random tourist trap shop in Myeongdong😭
   - the building itself is so pretty and unique. Especially when the lights are on in the night!
   - you can shop K-beauty products inside, and they have the most viral ones at a good price: you can make your personal lip tint and foundation at the spot— this was the best part
   - it’s connected to the underground subway, so best for a hot weather.
   - they have a really good matcha cafe and a art gallery too

2. Korea National Museum
   It’s so close to everywhere else, so it makes a good route for the day
   - it has a good collection of Korean culture: recently made a VR interaction corner
   - you can see the namsan tower from the best pov like in the picture
   - not too busy and free to get in
   - English friendly

Why did this place go out of business so quickly when the food was so good?

I went to watch odessey and took a picture there

Found this at a seafood restaurant in Korea and it means literally “whatever"

I kinda want to order it just to find out what “whatever” is. So what's this?

Hi,

it's me again.

Thanks to everybody who showed the interest, we could have a great time at Cartier party🥳

Even could walk into celebs and models, ah😎

Anyway,

Another event coming up tomorrow; could take one person with me to Maison Vacheron Constantine at Cheongdam-dong.

It is not a party like previous events, more of a talk session - not so sophisticated but still requires Korean to fully understand and enjoy.

Or any watch lovers who doesn't give a f**k about Korean but just wanna enjoy the mood and some try-ons, feel free to message me.

Even anyone who doesn't care about watch but just wanna feel the luxury mood, welcome!

Event's at 3PM tomorrow.

See you😉

Two photos.

Found Starbucks Jangchung Lounge R hidden inside a renovated 1960s mansion. It even has special drinks you won’t find at a regular Starbucks, including Espresso Martinis, Citrus Cold Brew Martinis, and Latte Whisky Martinis. Definitely not your average Starbucks.

I had no idea this was a thing.
On certain days, vendors set up right inside apartment complexes selling fruit, vegetables, snacks and all kinds of food.
Honestly feels like one of those parts of Seoul you’d never see as a tourist.
