AAA Traveler - Winter 2019 - 5
Cities We Love
Seoul,
South Korea
Squarely at the intersection of traditional Eastern
cultures and neon-soaked Western ways, Seoul, South
Korea is absolutely dripping with soul, a mecca of art,
music and hipster culture that buzzes with vitality. The
best time to visit this Korean capital is spring and fall,
when the city is popping at its liveliest. What's to love
about Seoul?
The BBQ
One of the things Seoul is known for around the
globe is Korean BBQ, the bold flavors of marinated
meat and veg cooked over a tabletop grill and served
with a slew of sides, called banchan. Social and fun,
one of the locals' fave is Mapo Jeong Daepo in the
Mapo-Gu neighborhood, considered one of the best
Korean BBQ joints in town. Eat the grilled meat the
"Korean" way, slathered with gochujang (red chili
paste) and wrapped in a lettuce leaf. For more savories,
experiment with weird and wonderful street food at
Gwangjang Market, Seoul's oldest food market, a
warren of activity fit for adventurous foodies. After
grazing, have cocktails and listen to live jazz at Once in
a Blue Moon in the swanky Gangnam district.
The Neighborhoods
Although Seoul is a booming city buzzing with
energy, a visit to Bukchon Hanok Village feels like a
step back in time. Wander the alleyways and narrow
streets that lead up into the hills and you'll find a slew
of traditional handicrafts, art galleries and restaurants
to peruse. Check Ihwa Mural Art Village for eye
popping art, a formerly rundown community
transformed by bright colors and street art.
The Shopping
The Seongsu-dong neighborhood, often compared
to Brooklyn, is a haven of hipsters, a hangout spot to
visit is Common Ground, a 200-shipping container
shopping specializing in local brands (Studio K and
Jbans are here) and order Korean tacos from the food
trucks always onsite. Fashionistas flock to
Myeongdong, the place for the latest quirky designs,
load up on Korean cosmetics and shop for souvenirs.
The crowds can be intense, but the Instagram-worthy
scenes of people and street snacks, so worth it.
