RUNDOWN ALLEYS AND GOOD COFFEE

I love glamour, I love chic, and I absolutely love refined, but there's something about the unpolished, and just sometimes the dingy and the jenk that is all quite alluring. (All the foodies in chitown know that the hole-in-the-walls are where the real food is at! Tasty's subs, holluhh). While Seoul is ever quickly developing its commercialized franchises, I'd like to say, the real Seoul bears its distinctive flavor and rawness. And tucked away in the inner streets of Yeonnamdong is all that and more....a fascinating site of mini galleries, cafes and local shops. 

Not too long ago and not too far from work I met a friend for some coffee. I know I post a lot on coffee and coffee shops — I am, by nature a compulsive coffee drinker, and it's not even because I need the caffeine to be honest — but I have to say, this cafe latte was by far the best quality cup I've had in my two centuries of existence. Haha, sanguine statement. I am no coffee connoisseur, but supposedly "Food X-files" also claims that this is the best coffee in Korea. And so I rest my case. Let's just say, you really get a bang for your buck, and the buck actually does your taste buds some good! (Away with the $7 dollar coffee nonsense, please). Now to defeat the purpose of this blog, I will keep the details untold because for some reason, jewels seem more valuable when not easily accessible, wouldn't you say so? If you'd like to know the exact whereabouts to this place just ask me in person and maybe we could even go together aye? Google is also a good option too. Happy Spring time and happy schizophrenic weather.
