Craftworks Taphouse & Bistro

Craftworks
January 09, 2013 by September in Pub, Kyeongnidan

The food is just so-so, the waitstaff are just so-so, and the atmosphere is very much that of a bar. I say go for the brewery and have some appetizers. The fries with chili and cheese are to die for!

The coffee is so-so, but the treats are sweet! I like to grab a tart and walk over to Ikovox for my coffee. The brunch is worth the wait though.

Vatos Urban Tacos

Vatos Urban Tacos
December 25, 2012 by September in Tex-Mex, Korean, Itaewon, Pub

If you want good Tex-Mex tacos and quesadillas, with a dash of Korean, you should brave the lines at least once. Be sure to try the Kimchi Fries and a frozen margarita, beware the gruff hostess and steer clear of the queso dip.

     I had a great time and highly recommend this place, solely on their shakes (haven't tried the food), reasonable prices (6,500 Won for a shake) and great service.

Autumn in New York Delicatessen

You will receive a tasty meal for a decent price, though it seems they fail to understand how to put their foods together; perhaps they simply paid for a pre-planned menu.
