Best time
Weekdays from 11:30. Kyewol's lunch service ends at 14:30, and Onion is packed on weekends.

Seongsu went from shoe workshops and warehouses to Seoul's coolest neighborhood. This route keeps both sides: a counter-seat chicken soup lunch, Korean fashion inside a brick warehouse, the old handmade-shoe street, then bread in a 1970s factory.
