Odd Seoul is a restaurant after our own heart: dimly lit, old school hip hop blaring and Korean tapas that can only be described as “unruly”. The squash poutine is one of the best dishes created in the history of time, and even before time existed.

A slightly ramshackle hipster diner known for its breakfast. What it lacks in ambiance it makes up for in breakfast tacos. Beat the hipster rush and show up early to avoid the long wait, and and cash only :)

The kind of place where the bartender hand carves your ice cube out of a much larger ice cube made from triple distilled glacier water. A dimly lit, classy joint to enjoy a few craft wobbly pops.

Entertainment & Activities
Honestly, truly, this would be a nightmare for me. I’d end up breaking both of my arms. But alas, I feel like I had to include something for those active types. An indoor bike park that features over 100,000 square feet of obstacles to “shred” on. It also has a sponge pit and cross-country loop!
