Best Movie Theater by Tyler Wood

There seems to be a good one-upsmanship in Apgujeong when it comes to movie theaters. CGV renovates the Cinecity tower and now COEX has just renovated the Megabox housed there. This means the theaters are offering better choices and more screens to see that movie you have been wanting to see. With the winters so cold, it’s nice to have indoor activities to enjoy. So where is the best place to catch a flick in Apgujeong? Keep reading and find out my picks.

Best French Toast by Tyler Wood

What’s more American than French Toast? French Fries perhaps? Although this dish dates back to the Romans and was usually made with stale bread, it has been popularized and breakfast-ized by Americans, namely, French immigrants (hence the name). When we wander around Apgujeong looking for bread cooked in milky, eggy batter we don’t see signs proclaiming “eggy bread” or “pain perdu” we see French Toast, implying that it is, yet again, the American expats that have brought this dish to Korea (or at least popularized it). This has been my favorite breakfast food since I can remember, so finding it in Korea was life-altering. When I first came, the only places I knew of were Butterfingers and The Flying Pan, but this list will show you how many more options we have for this delicious treat. Let’s all be “poor knights” and enjoy this dish!

Best Hot Dog by Tyler Wood

There is no need for a list on this topic, there is only one real contender in this category and that is the infamous Super Dog run by the fifth Sgt.-Pepper-era Beatle - Solbin. But there will be no lonely hearts in this club because there is always a band of fans gathered around this hot dog stand. Settled nicely in a back street near such upscale watering holes as the Ho Bar, Bunker, and the Monkey Beaches, he opens late to feed the drinking masses.
