Every year on the main road of Itaewon there's a global village festival. Restaurants from throughout the neighborhood set up booths so you can walk down the street and try food from all over the world.

Ootoya 大戸屋ごはん処

Ootoya is a Japanese chain my friend loves and suggested for dessert after our dinner at Keika Ramen. It was in the basement which wasn't fun to lug my suitcase down and it was somewhat crowded making it difficult to find a good spot to store it. We ended up putting it between us at [...]
