Apgujeong Rodeo Street

압구정 로데오거리

A street that became a fashion address in the early 1990s and now carries a broader youth culture. Restaurants and cafés are mixed in among the clothing shops, so it is not only a place to shop.

Hanilkwan Apgujeong
A Korean set-menu house that opened in Jongno in 1939 as a bulgogi restaurant and later moved to Apgujeong; it serves by the table setting.
Sinsa-dong Garosu-gil
A busy shopping street in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu. Clothing shops and cafés run along a road lined with ginkgo trees, and fashion and beauty brands open pop-ups on it often.
Seoul Forest
The park is open 24 hours and never closes, but almost everything worth timing inside it does — the ecological forest, both conservatories and the floor fountain all keep separate hours, and the two indoor ones shut on Mondays. Tents, sun shelters and awnings are banned outright, which is the rule most picnic plans get wrong.
Gangnam Ttaro Gukbap
A house that has worked for more than twenty years on a single dish, ttaro-gukbap with congealed ox blood, with boiled beef beside it.
