Sinnonhyeon coffee shop for a meal between meetings: Selecto Coffee

Selecto Coffee Sinnonhyeon Branch 24 Auto Brew Cafe is a 24-hour coffee shop on the 1st floor at 31 Gangnam-daero 79-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul. Stopping in between meetings near Sinnonhyeon Station, the ricotta cheese sandwich and mocha americano made a simple meal, and the wide gaps between seats left room for laptop work or conversation. Selecto Coffee is staffed from morning to evening and switches to self-service from night through dawn, so it works as a rest stop at any hour.

Gwangjin ramen restaurant for a friends' lunch with karaage: Mentsuru

Mentsuru Children's Grand Park Branch is a Japanese ramen restaurant about 30 seconds on foot from Children's Grand Park Station in Gwangjin, Seoul. Over lunch with a friend, the order was shoyu ramen with extra chashu, homemade chicken karaage and a Pepsi Zero, and the broth tasted clean but deep with generous meat topping. With kiosk and tablet ordering and roomy seating, Mentsuru suits everything from a solo bowl to a lunch date near Konkuk University.
