Euljiro, Seoul
Made up mostly of printing presses, warehouses
and old-school fried chicken eateries, Euljiro has become Seoul’s latest hotbed of hidden bars and cool cafés. At night, printers pore over tomorrow morning’s paper while trendy kids crawl into seemingly abandoned warehouses. Dine with ajeosshis (middle-aged Korean men) at one of Euljiro’s acclaimed eateries – like famous fried chicken spot Manseon Hof – and head towards the neon lights for a drink afterwards to experience the best of both worlds.
