Let me paint a picture for you:

It's Tuesday night.  The time is Korea Happy Hour time.  You're young; your stomach is gnawing at your throat; your wallet is so thin you can see through it; you're beautiful.   (Ok, 3 out of 4).    

I know the feeling.  So let's cut to the chase:  the best way to satiate that roaring appettite without having to dig through your Teachers' Lounge couch cushions for cash is wait until Tuesday night and head to Itaewon in Hannam dong.  Don't pretend you don't know where it is--you do.  Its the Best of Korea, and the Worse of Korea, all in one neighborhood, or 동네 (dongnae).    Here's a few starting spots for Tuesday night; click on the link to get to the website for description and directions.

Let me know if I've missed any and I'll buy you a drink if you can find me on a Tuesday night at one of them!

3 Alley Pub:   Buffalo Wings, 300 won each (traditional spicy, teriyaki and honey/garlic available); also get a draft OB beer and dinner for 5,500 won, whatever "dinner" means.   Older crowd and right under Sam Ryan's. 


Dillinger's.  Burger Bomb Set!  Burger and Fries for only 5,000 won.   Hollywood Grill:  A pretty decent steak for 13,500 won.   Sorry but no link yet...Its on the main strip, about a 5 minute walk out of Exit 2 of Itaewon station, on the second floor on the right.
