Eating alone in a new city can feel more awkward than it should. So we picked four spots that make it easy: a ramen shop that puts walk-ins first, an egg tart shop built for takeaway, an alley bar that's good for a drink by yourself, and a pot-rice room near Gwanghwamun where every order comes in its own individual pot. All four are places we'd send a friend who's traveling solo.
