43-2, Simin-ro 121beon-gil, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do

This is the largest traditional market in Uijeongbu and one of the largest in northern Gyeonggi-do. It offers a large collection of goods for sale, so it is beloved by Uijeongbu locals and people from the surrounding areas. Because of its size, the market has multiple entrances that lead to the four zones of Ga, Na, Da, and Ra. Its large size and prominence also mean the market is organized and hygienic. The market is quite famous for its Fried Chicken Street, which serves whole chicken fried to order. A less famous but no less delicious secret is the “food department store” on the first underground floor. This is a massive collection of restaurants and food carts serving a great variety of meals. When one steps into the “department store,” one feels as if one is truly among the locals in their favorite hangout, with middle-aged diners gathering for a meal or some drinks with their friends. Note that for some dishes like seafood, there is no fixed price. The market price is used instead. But no matter what stall one visits, the stalls tend to be quite generous with their food, so if you are interested in some local gourmand experience, make sure to visit.

This cafe stays open well after midnight, so one can head there without worrying about closing hours. From the entrance, the interior impresses with artistic objects with antique and retro-style motifs. There are plenty of nice backgrounds to take pictures against, so this is a famous spot for social media photography as well. The ambience is like that of a comfortable hideaway, perfect for conversations in small groups, thanks to paintings and objects that adorn the corners and the walls. The most famous of them all is the clouds, which hang from the ceiling and create the ambience unique to this cafe. The signature menu here is coffee and smoothies. It also serves croffle and cake dishes as accompaniments.
