College reunion at a Times Square Yeongdeungpo izakaya: Nani Byeolgwan
Nani Byeolgwan Yeongdeungpo Branch is a room izakaya (Japanese-style pub) two minutes on foot from Times Square at Yeongdeungpo Station in Seoul. Meeting up with college friends after a long while, the writer reserved a second-floor room through Naver Reservations and ordered pork belly scallion skewers at 15,000 won, daechang (beef intestine) skewers at 12,000 won, lemon cream shrimp at 26,000 won and bacon cream tteokbokki at 28,000 won — with the curtain drawn, noise from the next table was barely audible. For a quiet round-two drinking spot in Yeongdeungpo, Nani Byeolgwan Yeongdeungpo Branch is the right call.
