Old Korea in the heart of modern Seoul

📍 35 Hakdong-ro 4-gil, 논현1동 Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea This is a neighborhood market catering to the local community and restaurants for over 50 years. In the mornings, you can see mothers pondering what to buy for dinner along with local restaurateurs picking up their produce for that evening. At night, the market's many restaurants and few street food vendors open up, catering to the army of office workers in Gangnam, as well as a few hipsters and trendsetters who want to try one of the many newly opened speakeasies and restaurants. Like all markets, everyone has their favorite spot in Yeongdong, but traditionally Yeongdong has been famous for serving "jun" or savory pancakes and street food. What sets Yeongdong apart from other markets is that it's 💯 percent genuine. The vendors do not cheat the tourists; the restaurants serve good quality food at a reasonable price; and the customers who frequent the market do so because they have been doing so for generations. The market offers paid parking and is easily accessible by subway. Prices depend on the establishment but are generally reasonable. Try to come early evening to avoid the late-night office crowd. #seoulfoodie #oldschoolkorea #nightmarket
