I started my Seoul trip at Gwangjang Market, where I enjoyed delicious street food like tteokbokki, japchae, and handmade noodles, which I highly recommend. I also visited the impressive Starfield Library in COEX Mall. On day two, I found a hidden chicken speakeasy, KyoChon Pelbang, and later experienced the breathtaking views from N Seoul Tower. A highlight was the fluffy pancakes at 5 to 7 in Seongsu, which were the best I've ever had. I also tried an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ in Myeongdong and found Naver to be a great map app. — Seoul · Myeongdong

I highly recommend KyoChon Pelbang, a hidden chicken speakeasy, because the chicken was to die for, the tteokbokki was amazing despite being very spicy, and the makgeolli was also on point.
