City Guide Review: Doogie Board Game Cafe (Busan)
This is a board game cafe, so they don’t specialize in food. It costs 2400KRW for one hour and 2000KRW for each hour after that. A friend and I played Ticket to Ride, Set, and a couple other fun, short games for a little over two hours and it came out to 5000KRW each. (Weekdays have a cheaper fare.) Besides games, they provide free cold drinks (juice, water, etc.), and you can purchase other drinks, beer, tea, or snacks from the snack bar. The atmosphere is friendly and warm; the “waiters” help you set up your games and can explain gameplay for any game. One waitress speaks English well. The games themselves are in excellent condition.
City Guide Restaurant Review: Eat Me Pizzeria (Daejeon)
Eat Me Pizzeria is a favorite with local waygooks, offering a large menu of pasta, risotto and pizza at a reasonable price. The restaurant’s interior is warm and inviting, and the seats near the window offer a view of the downtown streets. The restaurant was relatively empty when we went on a weekend night, and they were able to accommodate a large party of ten by pushing together a few tables. The service was attentive.
City Guide Restaurant Reviews: The Original Pancake House (Seoul)
The Original Pancake House, an American brunch chain with locations across the United States, has now come to Seoul. The interior is reminiscent of its roots, with diner-style tables and black-and-white photographs of Portland, Oregon (the chain’s hometown) on the walls. The restaurant features a diverse roster of pancakes, topped with bananas, chocolate chips, strawberries or Hawaiian syrup.
