Rainy day, zero regrets

4 places · picked by our Korean team

A rainy day is a good reason to settle indoors: tea up the stone stairs in Samcheong-dong, Roman-style pizza in Noryangjin, sake at a basement izakaya near Ttukseom, or a guided 30 to 40 minute perfume workshop in Jamsil. Choose a stop near your plans, and book the appointment-led places ahead.

Table-side Chinese teaEnglish spoken

Rain on a Bukchon hanok alley is the best version of this room: climb the stone stairs at 76 Samcheong-ro, take a bean bag or a window armchair, and have regional Chinese tea poured at your table. Open daily noon to 9 PM, and the staff speak fluent English.
