David Yi's City Guide

Golmok Vinyl Pub

“I’m allergic to neon signs, loud noises, and overcrowded spaces. If I’m looking to chill out and have a beer on tap, I’ll go to Vinyl Bar in Itaewon, a bar that’s unassuming, plays vintage records, and is super cozy. It’s a great spot to hideaway.” -David Yi

Lusso Lab

“By far my most enjoyable coffee experience was at Lusso Lab in Cheongdamdong. They have this iced coffee called ‘The Dutch’, where ice cubes are made of cold brew. You melt it by pouring whole milk over it and it’s literally the best drink I’ve tasted –ever.” -David Yi
