Traveling alone? Dive into **Gwangjang Market**—Seoul’s oldest and *most vibrant* street food hub, where every bite is a conversation starter and solo dining is *totally normal*!
### **Why Solo?**
- **No Sharing Needed**: Order *exactly* what you want—no compromises!
- **Friendly Vibes**: Sit at communal stalls—locals and travelers often chat over *makgeolli* (Korean rice wine).
- **Quick & Cheap**: Most dishes under **₩10,000**—perfect for solo budgets.
### **Must-Eat Solo:**
🔥 **Bindaetteok** (Mung bean pancakes) – Crispy, savory, and *addictive*.
🍜 **Mayak Gimbap** (“Drug” kimbap) – Tiny, flavorful rolls you’ll *crave forever*.
🥟 **Kimchi Mandu** (Dumplings) – Steamy, spicy, and *comforting*.
🍢 **Tteokbokki** (Spicy rice cakes) – Classic Korean street food *must-try*.
### **Solo Hacks:**
✔ **Go Early (11AM-1PM)**: Beat the lunch rush for seats.
✔ **Point & Order**: Don’t stress—just point at what looks good!
✔ **Cash is King**: Some stalls don’t take cards.
✔ **Learn 1 Phrase**: *"Juseyo"* (Please)—polite way to order.
### **Bonus Adventure:**
- **Vintage Shopping**: Upstairs for *cheap* retro Korean fashion.
- **Photography Gold**: Neon signs, steaming pots, and *lively energy*.
