Gangseo, Seoul Korean BBQ with free hangover drinks: Gwangseonjip

Gwangseonjip Kkachisan Station Main Branch is a pork specialty Korean BBQ restaurant on Gomdallae-ro in Gangseo, Seoul. A 9:30pm visit meant no wait, and the table shared a mixed platter of Jeju ogyeopsal (thick pork belly), kkodeulsal and bodeulsal with kimchi-mari guksu (chilled kimchi noodle soup), plus a free hangover drink for every person who ordered alcohol. The biggest perk at Gwangseonjip is that staff grill the pork fully at the table, so clothes do not end up smelling of smoke.

Sinjeong Negeori hair salon: 90-minute split-end clinic at AVA Hair

AVA Hair Sinjeongnegeori Station Branch is a hair salon on the second floor of a building on Sinwol-ro in Yangcheon, Seoul, under a five-minute walk from Exit 3 of Sinjeong Negeori Station on Line 2. With split ends from growing her hair out, the writer had the Shiseido protein-filling clinic, a 90-minute treatment running through stages 0 to 4 with heat treatment and steam in a private one-person shampoo room. Almost a week later the hair still moved and shone, so AVA Hair is worth a look for anyone after damaged-hair repair.
